CAS for the Kiddos Challenge - Paper Players #163

Hello there! Hope you are enjoying your day so far. It has been a busy week over here. This week at the Paper Players, I am the challenge hostess and I went with a CAS (Clean and Simple) theme: "For the Kids". I sure hope you will join us and share your fun creations.

I used the kitty image from the Here Kitty, Kitty stamp set, which is retired. I shaded the little kitty and then cut out and popped up her little party hat. Trying my best to keep it clean, I went with some ribbon banners and added a simple banner sentiment as well. Banners are perfect for birthday cards, right? Originally I had scored a single line under the kitty so she was "grounded" on the card, but it didn't seem to be enough. So, I added a row of bling, because let's be honest, who wouldn't want to walk along a road covered in sparkly rhinestones! Just me? Didn't think so. :)

Finally, here is a shot of my little Abby, who was my inspiration for the little gray kitty on the card. I'm not an expert at shading images, but at least I got the feet a little lighter. Haha! Miss Abby just celebrated one year with us. Hard to believe this is the same itty bitty kitten we rescued that day.

Please join us over at the Paper Players!  The challenge is open through Friday, September 20th, 2013 at Noon (PDT). Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week.
