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.  

Stamps:  Meljens "Triple Treat Cupcakes"
