A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Peace on Earth Cat in a Hat

I was searching through my stamps for a cat wearing a Santa hat to go with our Peace on Earth mood board.  The only one I found is this cat wearing a striped hat so I went with that.


The cat is watercoloured.  I made him a ginger cat so that I can send it to my nephew who has a ginger cat and who will enjoy the image of the hat falling over the cat's eyes.  I have a goal this year to make at least two cards a month that use up some of my stash of dp so now I've got one done for this month!!

I've never used the cat stamp before so I'm also linking up with NBUS Challenge.  And also with Jingle Belles "Animal Antics".

We've got lots of inspiration over at Peace on Earth from the rest of the Design Team as well as the four images in our mood board.  Please join us!

    I like your goal, Susan, and I should add it to my list of goals! Your paper is perfect for the cat in the hat and your coloring is great! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
