Summer Lazy Days - Creatalicious #96

Hi my friends.  Guess I've been slacking off somewhat lately. It's been busy and a zoo at my house.  Kitties and butterflies. They have me coming and going. I have a new white kitty outside. She decided to make my back yard her home about 4-5 weeks ago. She was in the family way at the time. She actually has come here to eat a few times before when she was pregnant, but would just come and eat and go home. This time she came and stayed.  Unfortunately, none of her 4 kittens survived. Now I'm having a devil of a time trying to get her in a carrier to take her to have her spayed.  Epic failure the first time. I think I'm going to have to dig out the trap and see if I can get her in there.  Gotta find something that she really likes to entice her though.  So far she has turned her nose up at canned chicken and canned tuna. Any ideas?

I sure hope to get some more cards posted soon. I actually have 3 in the wings just waiting to make their debut.

Getting down to the business at hand. It is time for a new challenge again today @ Creatalicious Challenges and our theme is "Anything Goes + Optional at the Sea / Beach."  You're welcome to join us with the optional as most of the DT did, but as it is an optional, you can also chose not to do it  -  it's totally up to you.

  2. What a sweet card Maggie - love the wee 'scene' you have created behind the beautifully coloured image. The only thing I can think of that may entice your cat is cooked chicken - our old boy thought it was his ambrosia.

  3. I really like the little added elements you have added Maggie. The little sign, the little sea creatures, the netting and my favorite, the liquid pearls on the bow and her skirt! Very creative! Thank you so much for sharing your project and creativity at 613 Ave C!

  6. Gosh, I'm late to get here! Been changing everything over to Feedly (which I love)and it takes some time. First, I'm sorry the white cat lost her kitties. I wonder why that would happen? An undernourished stray in her earlier days of pregnancy? I know you have been feeding her lately, but wonder about before. Good luck with the carrier. Maybe some fresh catnip? I tried growing it once and my cat went nuts rolling in it the moment it sprouted.

    Now, your card today is super cute! I love those beachy elements you added, including the aqua-colored netting. Such a cute image. You always do the hair so well, and I love the Liquid Pearls you added. Darling!
