SBC #6 - Thanksgiving Place Cards

So our challenge this week at Simply Betty Challenges, is place cards.  Thanksgiving place cards that is.  Now here in Canada our Thanksgiving has been over for about a month BUT I still really enjoyed making this little cutie!

I used SBS "Thanksgiving Jude" digi image.  ha ha ha FEATHERS?  REALLY?!  Oh ya, that was so funny.  I adhered them once but came to my scraproom to find them on the floor slightly chewed on.  Cat!  Bugger!  I did a mini-easel, added a little rafia, an image and a few feathers and VOILA!  DONE! 

I hope you can join us this week at SBC and please check out what the DT's did this week. Leave some luvin' if you have time.  Oh and don't forget there is always a prize!

Attitude Award

Apparently a number of people think I have attitude.  WTF?!!

Thanks to my creepy friend Gloria, 

My Canadian friend Nicole and

Carol my Granny friend

but ALLLL wonderful card creators, among other things!!

Before passing this on, one of the rules is you have to tell people 3 unknown facts about yourself soooooo:

1) I can't drink coffee with caffeine.  I know, then it's not coffee.

2) I try not to let the different foods on my plate touch before I eat it.  That's gross ... but my sister is like that too.  LOL!

3) I hate being awake after my husband goes to bed so I go the same time he does.  Makes me feel really lonely.  I know....odd for many of you who find that's when your making your cards is when hubby has hit the hay. 

Now I get to pass this along to 5 more people with attitude:

1) Cheri

2) Tanya

3) Chris

4) Catherine

5) Carla

Ummmm apparently I have mostly only friends that start with a "C".  WHAT?!! 

Kitty Food

As a number of you know, I recently acquired the Silhouette for my birthday.  I just LOVE this thing!!  I took these pics, which OMG it's hard to take a picture of glass that you've etched, so I hope you get the idea.  I bought this ginormous glass jar from Walmart for $20 and it holds about 8kgs of cat food.  The lid is big enough for Rafferty's bowl to fit right in and scoop out food.  

SO!!  I put kitty tracks around the whole outside of the jar and wrote KITTY FOOD on the front.  I later discovered that maybe I should have left the etching cream on for longer and more then what the bottle said.  1 minute my a--.  And also that maybe I should have just stuck vinyl to this project using a brighter color cuz now when I put cat food in it, you can hardly see the etching.  Oh well!  Lesson learned but I was still happy with the outcome for my first time.

Happy Birthday Barb

Sooo I thought I would give Meljens challenge a shot but I'm not sure if I accomplished the requirements but in MY mind I did.  hee hee

I made a bday card for Aunt Barb and the challenge is to use 3 different shapes.  I've used a rectangle for the card, the sentiment is a shape all in itself and I was hoping my CUPCAKES made the 3rd shape.  Whaddya think?!  I 3'd my HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment, which I got from ma new Silhouette machine.  Have I told you how much I love that thing?!  OMG I can't believe I haven't bought one sooner!!  Apparently my enabling friends weren't as enabling as they normally are.  LOL!!!

I stickled my cupcakes but OMG I forgot to put something on the inside about her being an original.  That's what the outside pink cupcake was all about!!  Oi vey!!!  Oh well, she loved it.
