I woke up this morning...poured myself a cup of coffee..and started reading some of the blogs I subscribe to. I came across a challenge using recycled items. What a great idea.
I looked around my room and then ventured into the garage to see what I had laying around. As soon as I walked back in my room, my cat came in after his morning restroom stop wanting his breakfast. I opened up his can..washed it out for recycling...and was about to toss it in the recycling bin when it hit me. I had the perfect item for a few challenges - the cat food label.
Needless to say, the label was wet after I washed the can out. No worries..I just went to the grocery store the other day and had bought a ton of food for the my little darlings. I ripped off a few labels, broke out the Cricut and the Nifty Fifties cartridge, got the sewing machine out, and started my project for the day. The card is pretty heavy. There are a lot of layers.
It is going to definitely be interesting the next couple of feedings...I have know idea what the cats are going to eat. At least I ripped off labels from a variety of cans.
I have entered my Frisky Cat card in the following challenges:
