Every Moment Matters - Even when Marcy has an Opinion

What better way to end the year than with a layout of a cat!  

This is no ordinary cat either!  

She's my Grand Kitty, Marcy, who I passionately love!

 This wonderfully glorious photo of her was taken Christmas Eve Day Dec. 24, 2017. 

She's telling me that I've entered her space just a bit too close - ha ha! 
I did get 'slapped' once by her.  Literally slapped - no claws; just paw. LOL!

She's a talker and definitely lets you know where she stands!  

I respect this little doll.  She loves me.....no matter what she says!  HAHA!

***important note: because Marcy's nose is pale pink means that she's not upset.  

If she was upset, her nose would turn a bright cherry pink!  She's not fooling Gwamma at all!**

The paper I used is the new Remnants collection from Blue Fern Studios!  

It's quite stunning and gorgeous!  

I love the rusty browns with jet black & olive greens that match Marcy's hair color and eyes so perfectly.

Along with this stunning collection came new stamps!  

Here are some close up photos to show you how gorgeous they are!

Large butterfly from the BFS Remnants Butterflies Stamp Set

Beaded Flower Vine from the BFS Remnants Butterflies Stamp Set

 Also, I finally bought a new die set that I've been so anxious to own for quite some time!  

Cheery Lynn Designs Doily Dies - Horizon French Flair Boutique.  

I absolutely LOVE them! 

The beaded flower vine is one of the new BFS Stamps for the Remnants collection that  

I dressed up with amber colored rhinestones and on the larger die cut, I used black paper 

from BFS Sanctuary collection and decorated it with copper nailheads. 

(along with cat hair if you look closely - ha ha) 

Blue Fern Studios started adding printed chipboard to their collections not that long ago
 and I decided to get the one for the Remnants collection.  
Here I placed a circle butterfly printed chipboard with some pink chrysanthemums 
(pink to match Marcy's nose >^..^<).

Lastly, a few close up photos to show you the flower arrangements I made.

This one with the printed chipboard title from the Remnants collection is placed on one of Blue Fern Studio's Mixed Chains chipboard that I heat embossed in Stampendous! Fran-táge Shabby White Embossing Enamel.  

I love the Fran-táge shabby EPs because of their metallic flecks.    

I'm sure most of you remember 5 years ago when Prima came out with these wonderful wooden clocks!  

Tucking in some natural reindeer moss sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Starburst colors

Saxifrage Olive Copper (olive green with copper highlights - unfortunately now a retired color) 

and Cowabunga Copper worked perfectly with the color palette of my layout.

Thank you for stopping by!

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year in 2018!
