This neat-o tip I got from Gina K. Designs. I've been envy-ing those awesome paper pierced cards that everyone makes, but didnt want to spend 16 dollars of my hard earned green backs on the SU kit. ($10 for item + $6 shipping) While browsing through Gina's site, I came upon this and LOVED LOVED LOVED the idea. I didnt purchase her kit, but instead went out and bought them at Walmart. In hind site, it is much easier to buy her kit. It is very low cost, and if you buy them at the store they come 5/6 to a package of the same shape. I also had to scour many stores to find a SINGLE sheet of square canvas. (PS if you are doing a Google search, they are called PLASTIC CANVAS).
*******Since I have many circles and stars left, if you would like one, please email me. ( I've got 4 circles and 4 stars avaliable.)*******

I Love Love Love this card!
Isn't this card great? I love how everything turned out, I orignally planned this for a swap card, but I think I'm gonna make more and give the set away as a gift. Love how are the elements turned out. And this set, what can I say? Its awesome. I cased this card from Confessions of a Ribbon Addict. She did such an awesome job, and I LOVE the rope detail! My card is far more simple, simply because I dont have the patient to repeat all the lovely tidbits.
The deets: Bronc Buster Set by Stampin Up; Chocolate Chip Dye Ink (SU); "rope" twine (Ikea); sheer Navy Ribbon (Craftwarehouse); Blue Bayou CS (SU), Green DP (Heidi Grace); Adhesives (ATG)
More animal thoughts :D

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY:
Day 183 of My Captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am
forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of
escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional pieceof furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to
kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost
succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust
and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on
their favorite chair, must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and
brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I
am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed
and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working
according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I
was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could
hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my
confinement was due to my power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and
how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are
flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more
than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other
hand, has got to be an informant, he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the high metal room, his safety is
assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time ....

Only for Pet Peoples
Dear Dogs & Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this.
Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. I have been using the bathroom for years canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and does not speak clearly.
Remember:Dogs and cats are better than kids because they: eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Even the computer says soo..
You Are an Old Soul |
 You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition. Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone. Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient. A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people. You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others. Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone. But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away. Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul |
I wished I had some hope...
You're Pretty Stupid |
 You got 5/10 questions right! It's probably time to get your head examined. You hardly know left from right. |
What flavor are you??!!
You Are Milk Pocky |
 Your attitude: caring and charming Smooth and silkly... invigorating and natural. You are like comfort food for the soul. |
