Hello and welcome to Empire of the Cat Design.  I’m so happy to see you here because this is my favourite place to hang out when I am not making stuff – and after I make stuff, I come over here and write about it! Did you know that this was the first domain I purchased back in 2005 and it’s been a lot of things over the years but it has always reflected my crafty passions and favourite hobbies.  For a while, I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to focus on my blog, and that made me sad, but I made a concerted effort to find that work/life balance that people are always talking about, and for the last couple of years, I have been able to spend so much more time here writing about what I enjoy the most.

I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures in mixed media and cardmaking and checking out a tutorial or two along the way.  I really love to make things and as well as the above, I also love book and album making and altered art but I have been known to make other things too.  If you want to find out more about me, just check out the links above.

Meanwhile enjoy my latest arty adventures!
