Kitty Sabre's Christmas card




This is the baby, Sabre. She came from an animal rescue in Arkansas.  She is also an odd eyed cat, with one blue and one amber colored eye.  She is not a year old yet, but seems like she is the middle child as her personality is the perfect mix of both of the other cats.  She is very playful, yet snuggly.  Not vocal and talkative, but has the loudest purr. Not shy, but not fearless either. Not into everything, but not perfect.  She gets along well with both other cats and loves hubby and me both.










This is Sabre's Christmas card to Daddy.  I was worried about all three cats (well two of them at least) getting into the Christmas tree this year since they are still young, 2+, 1+ and 9 months, but they did great.  They were much more interested with the tree than the ornaments.  Just keep a spray bottle by the tree and after a few times getting sprayed, they stayed out.  Not one single ornament knocked off! What good girls!  Thanks for stopping by.

Kitty Pezz's Christmas card to Daddy




The kitties all gave Daddy special cat Christmas cards this year. I thought it was time to introduce my girls to everyone! This is our oldest kitty, Pezz. She was a ferral kitty that hubby found near the office when she was only a few weeks old. She was very tiny, but a fighter. She has the biggest personality and is fearless. She also does not act like a cat. Her first year, she was raised with our dog, a potbellied pig and a racoon. It wasn't until she was over a year old, she actually ever met another cat. She's a pretty lazy cat and a big daddy's girl!

Her card uses an image from a Clear Dollar Stamps set called Meowy Christmas. It has 3 different cat images so it was perfect for me as I have 3 cats. The cat in the stocking is perfect for Pezz becasue she loves to get into everything. Any bag, box, purse, drawer or etc. that she can squeeze into, she does! This particular image is so Pezz! This is first time that I had ordered from CDS and it was the week of Christmas, they got the order to me the same week the day before! WOW, I was really impressed. I also really love their stamps, especially all of the Patchpal Animals.

Thanks so much for looking!

SU came out with this adorable single stamp, Dasher and I knew I had to use it. I used Sketch Challenge 244 from Splitcoast stampers for the layout. Thank for looking.
