More Meow ;-)

Hello to all my crafty friends! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I enjoyed mine so much, I didn't want it to end! Isn't that always the case though? I did get some good craft time in, always a plus! And of course I spent some more time playing with the Meow Cricut Lite cart!

My little cutie patootie is wearing Lily Kate by Basic Grey. lol. And the little kitty she's holding is flocked, so he's all soft and furry. I don't know why my last couple pictures have not been as crisp...maybe a setting got switched when my husband was using the camera. Anyway, I'll try to figure it out before next time.

Here's one more card for today. It's a real quick and simple one. I carry around all these store bought monogram note cards that I've had forever, but I looked at one the other day and thought about making my own:

This card is a 4 inch square card. The W was cut from Storybook, and I believe the scallop square was as well. I embossed it with the Cherry Blossom folder from the Asian set with my Cuttlebug.

Lately I've mentioned how I love the hummingbirds in my yard. Well, guess what I saw yesterday? What is cuter that hummingbirds? Baby hummingbirds! Oh    My    Gosh! How cute are they!?!? We seriously thought they were bees at first, that's how small they are! And why don't I have pictures you ask? Because I suck, obviously! But, I will try to get a picture just for YOU! Promise!

Thanks for stopping by, and HUGS to all!

Cool Cat...I caved!

Hello Friends! TGI's almost Friday! I hope your week is going well!
I wasn't going to buy any of the Cricut Lite cartridges until the prices came down. I usually only spend $20 - $25 on my carts. The most I ever spent was $30 when Just Because Cards and Give a Hoot came out, and one of them I got Office Help for free with the purchase, so that helped me justify it. Even though, Lord knows I'll probably never use Office Help! Anyway, I decided to take the plunge! I've been buying so many older carts lately, I knew I wanted a newer one, and the instant gratification that comes with picking one up at Wal-mart won! I had a really hard time deciding between about 5 of them, but being one of the world's biggest cat lovers, I knew I'd regret it if I didn't choose Meow! I love every image on the cart, so be prepared to see a lot of cat cards for awhile! ;) My husband is very musically inclined and his favorite instrument to play is guitar, so I wasn't at all surprised with his choice when asked what I should cut first:

Sorry it's a little blurry, I was rushing. My card is base is a standard A2 size, in cream card stock. I cut the cat at 3 1/2 inches, and Cool Cat at 2 1/2. The little music notes I cut from Stretch Your Imagination, the little singing birdie, I don't know what page. I used my score board to get the diamond pattern on the background, and drew in the guitar strings, added the little doodles to "Cool Cat" with a white pen, a little Stickles to the music notes, and that's about it!
I think I may get one more today, but now it will be hard to decide between my top choices, Sugar and Spice or Bloom.
Thank you SO much for stopping by, and I hope you like my Cool Cat!
Have A Great and Crafty Day!
