** Please scroll down for the Whimsy blog hop **

Good morning! My house has been super quiet this week without the kids. I can't believe summer vacation is over! Well, I should get alot of stamping done now that I have no one to entertain and I'm back to a routine. Sure do miss them though....

But I'm looking forward to the fun fall and winter cards that I can make now. Which is the inspiration behind today's project. I made a little purse that I thought could be used as little Halloween favors for the kids at school.



I used one of my favorite stamps from Paper Romance. This is Andrea's Kittens. I colored her in Halloween colors and gave her 3 black kittens. I also added a cute scaredy cat button. What do you think?



I used the following copic colors to color my image: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, YR18, YR16, YR12, YR02, V17, V15, V12, V000.



So today's challenge at Paper Romance, is to include a furry friend/animal to your card. I hope you can play along, you could be the winner of a $5.00 Gift Certificate to Paper Romance!
