One Smile Begins a Friendship!!

Tiddly Inks is having a Design Team Call and let me tell you how excited I am and keeping my eyes and fingers crossed as I have decided to enter to hopefully become one of their newest and greatest Design Team Members!!!!

NOW, the requirement is to enter a creation using one of your favorite images (tough call here as I love them all) but decided to use Catgirl as we all know what a cat-loving person I am being the proud owner of not one but three cats and a good many of my friends are cat lovers also!!

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• size A2 card using Recollection cardstock with DCWV The Girlhood Stack as background
• Catgirl was colored using Prisma and Whisper Strokes Markers, Prisma Markers, and gel pen accents 

• of course, there are buttons involved from my fabulous stash of buttons!!! Since, I have three (3) cats, I had to add the additional cat button along with the cute "I heart Cats" that I also found in one of my button tins

TIP: how to get rid of those nasty shanks they put on the back of buttons that they lie flat on your cards is to use a toe nail clipper that cuts them off and trims them flat (at first, I was using one laying around the house and then I took the plunge and splurged and got one at the Dollar Tree - great investment!!!)

• sentiment, "One Smile begins a friendship" as this will make a purrfect card to send one of my dear friends is from a previous club from Create with TLC is chalked around the edges
• ribbon from Offray (complete with pawprints of course) was wrapped around the card and tied into a bow
• sentiment, "Life is better with friends" is also from a previous club from Create with TLC which was chalked around the edges and mounted on matching paper that was used from the front - 

I know that I have said this many times and its not only because I am a member of her fabulous Design Team BUT I love using Create with TLC sentiments and belonging to her clubs as you always gets great sentiments that are purrfect for any occasion to make a card plus great images. 

NOW, wish me luck on my entering to be one of the new Tiddly Inks Design Team Members!!!!!! I sew want to become one and be using their images and they are all simply adorable!!!!

I appreciate and love reading your comments - is your comment the next one I read??? If you have any questions, you can contact me at hercraftiness@gmail.com.

Much love, hugs, and friendship
