The Tragedy of an Empty Bowl
I don't know how many of you are owned by a cat but those who are will completely understand the level of tragedy reflected on this kitten's face. Believe me when I say that the 3 cats who own my home make it very clear that they allow me to live in their house and sleep in their bed ONLY on condition that I keep their food dish full and their litter box clean!
Never has any food bowl in this house been empty for more than 10 minutes. They get canned food twice daily and have dry kibbles available round the clock, not including the treats given more than once throughout the day. I check their dry food dish every morning and every evening and they watch me do that. If there are fewer than 20 kibble bits in the (rather large) bowl, I immediately fill it to the brim!
However, I can just about guarantee that within 15 minutes of the morning and evening feeding of the premium canned cat food they get, at least one of them will give me a look exactly like this kitten. It matters not that their tummies are bulging, nor that they walked away from the dish fully content, this is the accusing message I am given.
Image printed in gray scale, colored with ProMarkers, and cut with a Tonic Studios die. Both papers were from the scrap basket and were also cut with Tonic Studios dies. Sentiment printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.
I was inspired by the sketch at My Favorite Things,

Spring Birdhouse
For me, nothing says "spring" better than watching the sparrows and meadowlarks build their new nests, flitting in and out of the birdhouses which hang from the tree branches near my house. "Bird Nest or Bird House" is the new theme for our challenge which begins today at FarmQuest. As usual, our underlying theme is "Farm or Country."
I chose an image from my rather large collection of digital stamps from Beccy's Place. I added color with alcohol markers, pencil, and gel pen, then fussy cut it with scissors. I layered it onto a scrap of brown dp (Recollections), die cut the scrap with a Spellbinders die, and used a Fiskars punch on the corners.
The pink dp is also a scrap and I have no idea what company made that paper. The ribbon came from Really Reasonable Ribbon which I used to both wrap the card front and to make the bow. I added a large sequin to the bow and called it finished!
