I'm stuck!

Hello blogworld

As I look at the clock now, it's 13:17 on Tuesday afternoon and I'm stuck. I broke my C plate on my Cuttlebug yesterday - hubby has gone shopping and is going into a craft shop (shock breath there!) to buy a replacement but he's had to take the plate with him to make sure he's got the right one.  So I'm stuck!  I knew I used my lil' bug a lot, but I didn't realise quite how much a lot was!  I've got three cards to get done this week and now I'm awaiting on hubby to come back before I can get on with them.

So I thought I'd blog the card that broke the bug and say hello to you all!  I'm really behind with commenting right now, have to be honest and say I'm struggling to get back into routines (again!) so if I'm not visiting your blog please excuse me and I'm sure I'll be back soon!  That is unless my not visiting you is a good thing!!

I'm also slightly distracted by a new arrival at our house - a stray little cat!  We went out to the beach on Saturday and found this very hungry, very thin, very young cat wandering about begging for food.  Long story short - it's now residing at our home, while we try and find it's owners, or a rescue place to take it if it's been dumped, and it's not getting on very well with our elderly female!  The boy of the house is OK-ish with it, but oh my goodness the elderly lady is not!  Our Katie is such a placid cat that it was a real shock to see her growling, hissing and spitting at this little 'un - of course the little 'un gave as good as it got - and we are now trying to get them to all be calm until we find out what to do with the visitor.  Unfortunately Emily has really taken to the new cat and wants to keep it!  Oh dear, trouble ahead I think!

Anyhows, waffle, waffle, blah, blah, over - here's my card:

String and flowers from my stash

(the little green resin flower was a freebie in with an order from Teresa at My Crafty Heart, it's very sweet and I can see me ordering some, soon!!)

So hoping that everyone is keeping well and I will try to be back soon with more cards and, of course, tales of the goings on in cat house.

Cheerio

A challenge, or two:

The Sugar Bowl: Challenge 83 - Kiki's Sketch, with the option of your favourite Sugar Nellie stamp.  I thought long and hard about this one - but it has to be said for sheer cuteness - Daisy does it every time!  She might even be the first stamp I brought from Funky Kits, but it's been so long I'm not sure!!!

Totally Gorjuss: Challenge 131 - Pink and Green

Bunny Zoe's: Challenge 24 - Anything Goes
