I wanted to make her something which she could use and as i had bought some CD cases a while ago to make up for myself as Stamp holder i thought this might be the perfect thing. I used lots of different card pieces and paper i had left and used my nesties to cut the circles and layered onto the out side. I then placed my image from MO's digital pencil too. com. This was a freebie to all mo's followers. I coulded with my promarkers and just added a small oval nestie with the sentiment. A little bright but then you wont loose your unmounted stamps. I filled it with bits and bobs, ribbon, stamp, black nesties and buttons. I hope she liked it.

Hi just quick update re my brothers cat.
Well she is ok no lasting damage and nails will be ok. She stayed in for 24hours slept most of it and kids where good fairly quiet so she was ok. She has now been back and forwards in the garden not digging so they will have to clear up after her but staying close to the house. SIL is making flyers for the neighbourhood to warn and the RSPCA are looking into it. Their neighbour cat hasn't reappeared so just hope she has found a new home and nothing bad has happened.
