Path of Positivity: Meowy Christmas

Hello!

Today is the start of a new Path of Positivity challenge.

The challenge lasts for the month of December

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 

Give/Help Others.

Prizes this month include:

• TWO images from All Dressed Up, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants. 
• ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight

So if you are following the theme this month, we would like you to design a project that focuses on Giving To or Helping Others. A giving heart is a joyful, positive heart and the holiday season is a perfect time for reflecting and thinking about what we can give to others.

This year I lost my kitty, Casey. He was 14 and had been being treated for Hyper Thyroidism for a couple of years. He was the sweetest, gentlest kitty you could meet. He strayed into our garden one winter and seemed to like it. At first he lived in the bushes and stole food from our other cat when no one was watching :) During a particularly bad, cold snap, he developed an eye infection and we took him to the vets, who confirmed that he had no ID chip. We decided to adopt him. This was sorted through the Cat's Protection Society. They do such wonderful work, taking in stray and unwanted cats and rehoming them and we will always be grateful for them allowing us to have time with our darling boy! Each year we donate to their charity so that other kitties can have a better life. My project reflects this.

I used the beautiful Meowy Christmas digi stamp, kindly given to me by our sponsor, All Dressed Up. I used Copics and Polychromo pencils to colour the image. I used a Sizzix circle die to cut the image and added some acrylic ink spatters. When the splatters were almost dry, I sprinkled white embossing powder over and heated it - this gave me some lovely, textured snow flurries.

I used patterned paper for the background and added some heat embossed snow flakes. Kraft card was used for matting and some lovely velvet trim was added along the left hand side.

Many thanks to All Dressed Up, this month's guest sponsor,
