Are You a Scaredy Cat?



My kitty looks spooked!  Like the way my 6 year-old daughter does when I ask her to head upstairs at night...or to the basement anytime.  If there are creepy crawlers or mighty monsters there, I just haven't seen them!!  My husband and I thought it was her age, but her twin brother doesn't have this fear.  Neither do her two older brothers.  Hmmm...maybe it's a girl thing??? 

Stephanie at Always Crafting hosted a fall- or Halloween-themed challenge this week.  She posted a cute story and a Halloween card she made using Mini Monsters...be sure to check it out.  I haven't made any cards lately, so I decided to make one for this challenge using my new Peachy Keen Nikkity Knack Cat Gang stamp set (Thanks to Samantha from the PKS design team!).   Love that scaredy cat!  I think the creeping kitties on my patterned paper may have given her the spook....what do you think?

So adorable! Love the cat, I want that set from PKS, so cute. You have a cute story to go along with your card too. When I was young I was afraid to go into the basement too. Thanks for playing along...you did a great job!

Oh my goodness! I love what you did with the cat! I love the patterned paper you used it coordinates so well. I am so happy you made such an adorable card with your new stamp set! I hope you make some more amazing things with it!

I love that image! Great job with the card.
I was always afraid of the basement when I was younger. I've mostly outgrown it now!!
