Create A Critter and Giveaway update

Hi Everyone,

Today is the big day....Check back later (OK tonight) to see the winner of "My Favorite Things" giveaway. I disabled the comments so I can prepare a little video for the drawing of the winner :) My favorite little man is going to pick the winner :)

I picked up a few cartridges over the past two weeks :) Lovin' all of them. So here is a card I made using Create A Critter. Isn't that the cutest kitty ever?


Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock, Basic Grey pattern paper, DMC Floss, Misc. button, Silver Charm, Tim Holtz Alteration on the edge file tab die, pink stickles, swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Distress Ink. 

The card measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. I used the Tim Holtz die to make the file tab, and then trimmed my paper to fit that space. The kitty and all her cute little kitty parts are cut at 3" and the kitty bed was cut at 1-1/2in. I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder on the pillow and ran some tattered rose TH Distress ink over it. Before I laid my pattern paper down I added some DMC floss with a charm to give it a little more cuteness.

Hope you all have a great day and don't forget to check back tonight for the winner. I'm off to work :)

Your kitty is adorable. I bought that cart at Michael's sale last week and getting ready to make a girlie bird right now. That is the cutest darn cart I've seen in a long time. With 39 kiddies in our neighborhood I know I'm going to get so much use from it.

Sniff, sniff, or whatever I should be saying. I'm still crying - I didn't win. I wanted to win so bad - lol. Anyway hoping you can tell me what paper you used or how you made the flowers with the Tim Holtz die. TIA
