Cocktails all round!

Hello and good evening all hope your day went well and you have great plans for the week ahead
l'm still not sorted at the new property but we decided it was too tiring going from property to property so we moved in on Saturday we still have stuff to move and hope to have it all shifted by the end of this week we moved the cats yesterday and that was a nightmare we have 3 but only 2 cat boxes so l made another box after making air holes and using tape to secure the box after take off the cat in the box got free when in transit the husband managed to get hold of her and she had the best seat in the car just loved the views it was a little scary though they are more like themselves today just have to keep them inside for a few weeks anyway l decided to show this card l made for my Neice's 40th b'day in September it was a fab night too and as the craft room is still in a mess l can't find the details that l used l do normally write them down as l'm making the card but l'm sure you'll forgive me and reconise lots of the products used
l'd like to enter into the following challenges
Paula's Challenge a little bit shabby......paulaholifieldcrafts-little-bit-shabby

Fabulous card Sandra, I really like all the layers and the great image. Good luck in your new home, we moved a month ago with 2 cats, a dog and a 5 year old child so I know what a nightmare moving house can be lol.

Sandra your card is gorgeous...I hope she didn't drink all the cocktail before climbing into the glass!!! Dont forget to butter your cats paws, and they'll stay put once they get used to the new smells. Good Luck. Bev :)

Dawn said...

Great card Sandra! I hope the cats have settled well & you can soon let them out!
Try spreading some of the litter from their tray outside when you do, that's supposed to help them find their way home & let other cats know its their turf!
