Today my kitty, Domino, has been acting completely CRAZY!! He’s howling and running around the house…basically doing things he doesn’t normally do. It’s all because he can’t find the kids. 🙁 Today was their first day back to school. Poor Domino. Maybe this card will make him feel better? I hope it’s his birthday.
The REAL Story is…It was my sister-in-law Lizard’s birthday and I needed to make her a card. Yes, I really call her that. No, it’s not her name. 😉 So, I made this card. When I was through I decided that I didn’t like it. So…
![Well, hello kitty!](https://joyslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/HelloKitty1.bmp)
I cut it up and made this…
![Well, hello AGAIN kitty!](https://joyslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/HelloKitty2.bmp)
Cute…even though the pink parts aren’t long enough on the left and it drives me crazy. You know what? I was having an “off” day. Does this happen to you? You just have those days where you shouldn’t be driving the Cricut? Yeah. Me too.
However, I did pull out the Martha Stewart loop punch around the page. Hey, that reminds me!! I got a bunch of new MS stuff that I haven’t played with yet because I was producing Cricut Vinylology. Woo hoo!! I’m off to shop in my own craft room! LOL!
HAVE A SUPER DAY!
I think you did a great job Joy. Although I have to admit I do like the second one a bit more. I love how you “cut it up” and it still looks great. I can never do that.
🙂
Thats what makes it special the little goof ups.
Cute card. And Happy Birthday to you S-I-L.
Its my DH Birthday too!
It is adorable! I am so glad I am not the only one that pulls projects apart and remakes!
Yes, Joy. I have those days more often than I’d like! I do like the second card better, but the first was cute, too. I didn’t even notice the pink strip until you pointed it out, but I am that way about my own work. I am a perfectionist with my cards, so it takes me hours to make the same card most whip up in minutes! I love how you used the MS punch just to the corner on one side!!!
I know exactly what you mean! I actually have a card I made for my nephew that I am going to take apart and redesign. LOL I like the bling on the second card~ SIL is gonna like it!! TFS

Hey Scrapbooking Queen,
I used a Martha Stewart Loops Punch .
Thank you!
~Joy~
Loved the second card too! Sometimes a rework is just what is needed to make it look right or be visually right!
Cute! I have seen some great things with this cart.
It’s about time you posted one of your creations, it made my day. I think both cards are very cute, the second one a little cuter. Edge punches are fun, love to use them.
I like the second one better too 🙂
I was just going through my Give a Hoot cartridge and I found a lot of borders there. 😀
I liked both of the designs….but liking that punched border on number two quite a bit! She’ll be happy with it!
Hi Joy,
I loved both of your cards. I know my granddaughter would love it also.May have to copy it.
Want to go, But I dont drive long distances, and Hubby will be working : ( If he wasnt working, Hed take me. Saddened.
Mine day was this last sunday. the glue, the cricut cutting mat & I where not friends at all. Your card came out great and I am huge hello kitty fan.
i actually like both cards either one of them are cute as a bug
I like the first card but I love the second, a far better choice.

Super cute, Joy! I hate it, too, when the piece isn’t long enough. I’ve been known to slit it behind the top-most layer so that it will fit. I do that fairly often with ribbon because I’m pretty sure I can use that one inch I’ve saved somewhere else ;o)
Joy, Just ran across your website through You Tube, looking for info using the cricut lite cart… I loved all your projects, but especially this card. I do a lot of scrapbooking for my 7 yr. old twin grandaughters, (thus the name scrapingrammie.) Your videos have been very helpful, as I am needing help with the more difficult cartridges. Thanks for all your help. I love all types of crafting and can`t wait to see some things you do for Christmas.
