Baby Kiwi was only in our family for a short period of time, but the kids still talk about her a lot. We miss her dearly. When we got her, Madison was only 3 years old and we didn’t name her right away. In the meantime, Madison kept calling her Baby Kitty which sounded like Baby Kiwi. That’s how she got her name. 😀

I created this layout based on a sketch on the Bo Bunny blog for their sketch challenge:

Materials:

American Crafts white cardstock base
Bo Bunny Pet Shop Words cardstock
BB Pet Shop Cat-Atude cardstock
BB Pet Shop Stripe cardstock
BB Pet Shop Sweater cardstock
BB Pet Shop Spot cardstock
Ranger Distress Inks

Adhesives:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac
Scotch Quick Dry Liquid
American Crafts This to That foam dots

Tools:

Martha Stewart Edge/Border punch
Making Memories large and Medium heart punches
