Mary gave us a fun challenge this week. She has two color choices! I picked Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and White.
I had a bit of a time deciding what to do until I hit upon this shaker card. The coloring is much simpler than I usually do but that's okay. It works for these kitties and the shaker took some time and engineering to do.
I wanted three separate shakers, not one long one. I call this a ladder shaker because the inside looks like a ladder. I'm not sure if there is another name for it.
I did get dessert in - this is going to my daughter for Valentine's Day. I haven't seen her since Christmas and even then she had to stay 10 feet away. No hugs since she left last summer. Since she left she adopted a new kitten, so I know she'll love the cats!

Sweet! I love the separate little shaker sections. And, you've used the petal pink so expertly to soften the background. Your daughter's going to love this!

Oh, Jeanne! This card is adorable! I love the way you colored the kitties--truly, less is more! Great job on the triple shaker! Love the punny greeting, too!

Wow... it's been a long time since you've got a hug from your daughter, my heart goes out to you! She is going to love this card, especially if she's adopted a 'putty tat'! I've not done a ladder type shaker, I must try it! Your design is exceptional!

Adorable! A card any cat lover would luv to receive this sweet kitty themed shaker. The kitties would certainly enjoy chasing all the tiny pieces inside the shaker.
