Happy Purr-day!


I have to admit: This was a challenging card to make.  But it was fun, too.  Does that make sense?  :)  I saw a challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2 to use balloons in a birthday card and I couldn't get the image of cats playing with the balloons out of my mind.  So I pulled out my Meow Cricut Lite Cartridge and went to town with it!

I didn't think a regular A6 card would do the trick to show the playfulness of the cats so I made a step ladder card.  I used the instructions from this video:  Andrea Walford.  I'm a visual kinda gal.

I also entered this card in:
Paper Playtime - Say It with Sentiments, Challenge 72

I Used:
- Meow Cricut Lite Cartridge, Provocraft - cats and "Purr"
- From My Kitchen Cricut Cartridge, Provocraft - cake and stand
- Martha Stewart Birthday Cakes, Provocraft 
  •  balloons
  • "day" welded in the Gypsy - What a fun font!
  • all the letters in HAPPY
- Ice White Pearl Pen, Viva Decor
- Floral wire stems, Floral Soft
- Pink Pattern Paper, SEI
- Light Blue Paper used as the base of the step ladder card - Stampin' Up
- All other paper from my scrap stash


This naughty kitty got his paws on the cake. 
I swapped out the original fish bowl.

This little kitty is all tied up!
