Eek!

Hi, everyone!  Today is my birthday - Yay!  I plan to enjoy my day!  I'm still on a blog break but wanted to pop in and remind you all about the Cat Lovers Hop that starts tomorrow.  Janis over at Her Peaceful Garden has organized the hop for all of the cat lovers!  I plan to be here each day for the hop! I am all ready with my blog posts. I also plan to do some blog visiting this week to try to get caught up on what I've missed. Still no update on the contractors but I am suspecting it will be delayed. I'll keep you posted!

I hope you can join the Cat Lovers Hop!  You can read Janis's FAQ and guidelines here. I made this card a couple weeks ago with the hop in mind, but after reading the guidelines, I am not sure it qualifies. That's okay! I love how it turned out so I wanted to share it anyway.

I started by adding strips of Halloween-themed washi tape on a diagonal and then adhered Poppystamps Spider Web Border, die-cut in black, along the top of the washi tape.  I trimmed the parts that went beyond the edge and added them at the bottom of the washi tape.  I die-cut one of the Poppystamps Playful Kitties (two kitties come in the set) in black and then heat-embossed it with Black Opal embossing powder (The Artful Stamper) to give it a sparkly glow.

I stamped the Newton's Nook sentiment in black.  To finish off the card, I added three spider stickers (EK Success Sticko) along with googly eyes.
