Just Us Girls Challenge #703 - CAS Week - Use Just the Center of Your Card - Anita Jeram All is Bright Happy Holidays Kitty

Hello.

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #703, where our lovely hostess, Nancy, has put the following spin on our CAS challenge for this week: Use Just the Center of your Card. Keeping your focal image in the center is sure to check all the boxes when it comes to a clean-and-simple design.  


Special thank you to Bonnie Klass for being our inspiring Guest Designer for October. You creativity is amazing; we absolutely loved having you play cards with us as part of the team.

I've brought the sweet little gazing-at-the-star kitten from the All is Bright stamp/die set from Colorado Craft Co./Anita Jeram. He's nestled on a die-cut snowflake; a favourite from Uniko Studio.


While the design inspiration came from Just Us Girls, my choice of image was inspired by this amazing challenge: The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge: Remembering Janis Woolbright. I didn't have the opportunity to 'meet' Janis, but from what I've read about her during this month-long challenge, she was well-and-deeply loved by an abundance of friends, both two-legged and four-legged. She sounds like an incredible individual. Hopefully, my little kitten will make her 'star' shine a wee bit brighter - and bring a smile to the faces of those who adored her.


Looking forward to seeing your CAS creations in the gallery. 

Thank you for dropping by!
