it's RAINING CATS AND DOGS at Paper Issues!

okay, my cat is awesome.  and i haven't taken NEARLY enough opportunities to whip up some scrapbook pages featuring my wicked awesome dude.  SO.  because there's a bit of time left to join in the fun at Paper Issues, imma share this one with you.  i'd have shared days ago, but my camera is on its last leg.  finally, SUNSHINE! 

so our theme - "It's Raining Cats and Dogs"...  sponsored by the fabulous Simple Stories, of which there is a TON of new stuff in the Paper Issues shop, in case you haven't already seen it.  a TON!  and it's awesome! 

well this, of course, follows the cat part of the theme, but you can go with dogs, rain, showers (of the weather or celebratory kind, or BOTH!), spring/summer, someone acting catty, or someone being a dog, or hey, go deeper and show us a Slush Puppy theme or something!  we're easy to please!  and link up (just remember to link back to the Paper Issues blog), and you could win one of three fun prize packs from Simple Stories! 

here's Fletcher B. Cat, being cool and collected and not even trying.  he should be in the Dos Equis ads.

i could eat him up.  :)
ZOOM!

LOVE HIM, dadgummit.  he's the coolest cat i know, and i'm SO happy to be his person!  :)

i used some SNAP! goodies from Simple Stories, as well as Studio Calico, Doodlebug, Crate Paper, Bella Blvd, BasicGrey and Panda Eight, plus some spritzing action from Heidi Swapp and Mister Huey's, finished off with embossing paste over an UmWowStudio mask (check out the effect below)...  did i cover all the bases?!  :)

oh, and for the record, there's a whole slew of stuff from the Paper Issues Swag Bags on here, from various months - the June Swag Bag will be available SOON, so you'll want to click HERE to see the fabulosity that is the Swag Bag.
