Glittery Cat Happy Halloween....CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #194, CAS-ology Challenge #219~Spooky, Creatalicious Challenge #101~Anything Goes, with optional twist of Halloween, Simply Create Too Challenge #120~Halloween

Hello,

We were 'supposed' to be heading to see my mom today, but a winter storm - freezing rain, snow, wind - sees us staying here, at least for tonight. Driving treacherous roads, in the dark..ummm....no thank you!  Hopefully, conditions will improve enough so we can make the visit tomorrow. I *need* to see my mom and, of course, my sweet niece and nephew; my husband *needs* to cyclo-cross race (motivation for the trip...just offer him a race *grin*).

Anyway, the time here provided opportunity to get some house-cleaning done (half-hearted effort); some laundry done (still in the machine...) and some crafting!  I figured I wouldn't have a chance to play at CAS-ology Challenge #219~Spooky


this week, due to our trip but...here I am!  With something 'spooky' (HA!)!

I paired this challenge with CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #194,


and the result is this:  a glittery cat with Happy Halloween wishes....


As much as the weather has me totally somewhat miffed, there are a couple perks to changing our plan (not the least of which is being safe):  homemade pizza night (finally...we haven't had any for TWO weeks!) and A Blue Jays baseball game to watch...

And with that, I'll bid you good-night!  Hope wherever you may be, you're safe and warm, enjoying a fabulous TGIF evening!

What a darling card. So sorry you had to have a storm ruin all of your plans in order to make it, but hopefully worth it? Love that glittery cat, and the very fun layers he is sitting upon. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
