Cruising on Kit Cat Sunday

For six months now, the Kit Cats (which includes five of my online friends and myself) have enjoyed our monthly Kit Cat blog posting. The designated hostess sends out identical kits to each of the Kit Cats and we all use those items in the creation that we post on the first Sunday of the month.

This month's hostess is Susan. In our instructions, she wrote I don't know about you, but I am so tired of winter! Who knew, when she sent these kits out a couple of weeks ago, that we would be posting in one of the worst snowstorms our nation's capital has ever seen.

To warm our spirits and help us dream of warmer days filled with sunshine and outdoor activities, Susan sent us Cruisabella. How fun! She also included two pieces of designer paper, a piece of textured cardstock, and a baggie of goodies such as flowers, rhinestones, fibers, buttons, tassels, and acetate. We were instructed to make a card using a special fold. We could use any or all of the embellishments she sent along.

I decided to make an easel card. I have admired these in the Splitcoast Stampers gallery and even made a smaller one at a card club hosted by a friend. However, I'd never attempted one on my own. I was surprised at how easy it was to make the easel card base.

This has been a fun project and I feel warmer already. I wish I had a convertible to take for a spin, but since I don't, I guess I'll just cruise on over to the other Kit Cat blogs to see if they've posted their Kit Cat cards yet. Come on and hop in... you can ride along!
