Lady Catsby
I love this cat from My Paper Moon:
There is just something about the expression on her face that just cracks me up. That store has some of the cutest cat stamps I've seen anywhere. I used Marker Watercoloring and the Out of the Box techniques on the focal image, then tried to decide what to use for a background. I ended up gluing whatever scraps I could reach onto a 3x5 card, then trimming it to size. A few strips of tissue tape covers the spots where the papers don't quite mesh. There wasn't a lot of room for a sentiment on this card, but then, what would you expect Lady Catsby to say?

inchies for Mom
The one of the themes this month at Inchies_onexone is Mother. I had to choose between normal and realistic, or at least between what I think is expected for this swap and what is really representative of my mother.
This is what I think people would like to receive:
The paper is Poison Ivory Iridescent from PaperTemptress, lightly burnished with distress inks. I no longer remember where I downloaded the images. Of course, bling is essential on a one layer inchie.
I assure you, my mother would hate these. She might even stick her finger down her throat.
As it happens, today I got an amazing treat in the mail. Becky Partan of My Paper Moon gifted me a bunch of small stamps - ATC and inchie size - and as I spread them over my table to admire and sort this bounty of over 70 (!!!!) stamps, I noticed that there were stamps for the four card suits. If you know my mother, you know she loves to play cards, so I immediately went down and made these inchies.
The backgrounds are made by by laying 1/8 inch strips of red and black cardstock on sticky paper and pouring white embossing powder in the spaces between, like grout. You can see that I got a few stray flecks of EP. The images stamped very crisply, but blurred a little when I poured UTEE (why UTEE? I just like the texture) over them (you can emboss over distress ink). These inchies are made entirely from scraps, which my mother would admire greatly.
So now I have two different sets of Mom inchies - which do you think I should swap?
Oh, can't forget the challenges!
Clear It Out - quilt your scraps
Creative Craft Challenges - embossing
Going Grey with Scrap-Creations - digital
Simon Says Stamp - embossing
Truly Scrumptious - vintage
Lexi's Creations - anything but a card
Our Daily Bread - no coloring
