I asked my collegiate daughter whether she preferred I send e-mail messages or letters She said she gets so many e-mail messages, a letter would be a welcome change. She and I are cat lovers, so when I saw a series of cat stamps by Stampendous in the Memory Makers supplies, I decided to craft a series of cat cards. Here they are:



I may add a cat quote on one or two. I love the one I saw on a Hallmark card—“All the world’s a cat toy." I like choices, though, and I found plenty of quotes about cats and dogs at scrapbook.com, including this one we can all live by:

Ten Things I've Learned From My Cat:

1. Relax & Enjoy the Sunshine
2. Take Long Naps
3. S-T-R-E-T-C-H to stay limber
4.Purr when Someone rubs your Back
5. Find a Cool, Shady spot when it's Hot
6. Enjoy it when someone waits on you
7. Take up a Hobby: Birdwatching . . . or Fishing
8. Curl up under a Warm Blanket when it's Cold
9. When you're mad--just glare
10. Let Someone else untangle the Yarn

Maybe you’re inclined to scrap a layout of your favorite feline or canine. You’ll get all the inspiration you need in memorymakersmagazine.com Idea Gallery. Once you’re in the gallery, use the "Find Page Ideas" search box. Just drop down the theme box and select "Pets/Animals."

Do you have a pet page (pun intended) of your own you’d like to share in the gallery? There’s no better time to submit than now. Click here to learn how.

And if you have a favorite cat or dog quote, post a blog comment so all of us animal lovers can enjoy it.

Holly, your cards look great! I love the stamps and the color palettes you used.

Those are adorable Holly!

Two of my favorite pet quotes:

- Dogs come when they are called... cats take a message and get back to you.

- There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast.

(I can attest to the truth of the second one! I live it every day! :) )

Great quotes, Jessica. Another one I like comes from the comic strip, Garfield: Cats sink to the bottom when you pick them up. Anyone accustomed to picking up a dog who then picks up a cat knows exactly what that quote means.

Cute cards, Holly! Ah, the love we have for our feline friends. My kitty is walking back and forth across my lap and arms as I try to type this! What would we do without them?!

peace and love, Patty

Adorable cards! I love the stamps. I've been googling for them ever since. Are they still available? I did not see them on Stampendous's site. Thank you for the inspiration!
