Ringing in the New Year

A few posts ago, I reintroduced myself back into the blogging world.

I included a great new pic of our two new kitties, Titus and Ptolemy. They are both so sweet, but with very different personalities. Titus is the oh-so-chill guy, already huge and not even one year yet. He reminds us of the Sam Axe character played by Bruce Campbell on Burn Notice. Loyal and sweet. Titus is a lover, not a fighter, but he will give a bruisin' if necessary. Ptolemy is the trouble maker. He flies from one feat of mischief to another. And he fetches (after waiting for you to throw) and buries items (under the rugs) like a dog. After watching Beginners with Ewan McGregor, we decided he reminds us of a Jack Russell terrier (like the one in the movie).

So, a card about these two additions to our lives was inevitable. But while you may get a dog to sit still long enough for a picture, your best bet for a cat is to catch them while they're sleeping. So, the drawn picture of them was perfect.

We figured Titus' laid back nature made him perfect to deliver the straight man response to Ptolemy's hyper rant.



Ptolemy: When does the ball drop? Is it midnight yet? Did the flash go off? This is going to be the best New Year's card ever!
Titus: The ASPCA is going to hear about this %#!& hat.



The embellishments are printed then cut using the Silhouette. The party favor lays flat, but the hats are popped up from the base of the card.

Still trying to figure out if these guys could be used in other card themes. Can't wait to find out!
