New Year Greetings @ Make & Take Monday
Howdy!
We had a blast yesterday giving folks a choice of celebrating the New Year with a cat, penguin or dog stamp by The Cat’s Pajamas. I heard several people say it was the mention of the colors in my reminding email that got them to come in too. Isn’t color powerful? Just gotta love it!
Now, on to the creations! First up is the sample I designed featuring the cat. Such a dapper dude in his top hat.

Fabulous! A dapper dog drinking a cosmopolitan! Kim always makes small changes to the design we put together and it’s always great to see what she does. Thanks for the inspiration!
The penguin? He was camera shy.
