Happy WOYWW once more! Today it’s back to building up the birthday card stash. Here’s the latest – a card that’s suitable for anyone, male or female, based on the colors. I got my fingers inky with this one – lots of distressing – the slide mount was white when I started!
Now, would anyone care to explain why there is a mummy on my desk…
Or a cat in my refrigerator?

Great card and love the cat picture. Thanks for sharing – Sunshine Girl No. 20
Great pics, cats seem to get every where by the looks of people’s desks! Super card too. Am using my WOYWW snooping as an excuse to munch my way through a bag of mini eggs! Take care Zo xx 77
Your cat makes me chuckle! 🙂
oh what a super-fun masculine card!!! i think you can add “brown” to your “B” list… and i see a “brad”… and don’t forget “birthday” and “boy-ish”!!! thanks for SHOPPING YOUR STASH with us this week! ♥
ps: i don’t think the mummy qualifies for the challenge… but he’s very handsome, lol! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Lovely card – like that you inked the slide mount to get the color you wanted. dani138
I see your cat is just trying to help you pick up?!? Your card looks great – love the colors. It’s fun to get messy while crafting. For me, it helps the process!

Welcome Valerie! Look forward to getting to konw you! 🙂
Had to go check out the cat in the fridge, too cute! Such a darling face! I see the paper towels are still a source of enjoyment too! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina #139
I like your birthday card.
My mom’s cat used to wait until my mom went to get something to drink and the go lay on her newspaper. They are such funny creatures.
Thanks for sharing.

How funny–I just found a stash of slide mounts at the back of my desk drawer the other day. I got to thinking, “Who uses these anymore?” Now I know! Mine were plastic, but I used to have the white cardboard ones. I also have a die to cut them out of anything. I may have to revisit slide mounts now. Happy WOYWW to you and thanks for the inspiration.

I have a huge stash of slide mounts left over from the days when they were all the rage! I have both plastic and paper – like the paper ones better – find I can do more with them. Lots of oldies to revisit as I continue to dig thru that stash for the Use It Up Challenge (which I keep forgetting to link to, but which I am plugging away at, anyway!)
LOVE the ‘mummy’! lol… And love the card too! Nice colours!
Thanks for sharing,

The card is lovely – way to go with inking the slide mount – good for either male or female – (Hazel, #173) x

Running a bit behind on my visits. cats are fun aren’t they? my grandaughter has one who’s not too crazy about people…well unless she’s in the mood LOL Have a great WOYWW!
Did you recently add that photo on the side? Is it glass flowers? Chilluily? I know I didn’t spell that right – anyway it is beautiful! Stopping in to say hey from today’s hop – hope to “see” you soon!

Hi Shauna,
I added the photo awhile ago but yes, you’ve identified it correctly – it is a photo of Chihuly’s amazing glass sculture ceiling that I took in Vegas! I did a post on it way back when… and thought it was too pretty to just lock away in the archives! 🙂
heehee
Some things are inexplicable!

Fun! Thanks for playing with us at Paper Playtime. 🙂 Janis
Your cats are great and there is no such thing as explaining what cats do … the idea is to sit back and enjoy.
I want to let you know that I have passed the Sunshine Award on to you. You bring joy to peoples life every day, so I think you are deserving of this award.
