Kitty in a Cup - CCC #54

Hi my friends!  I hope you all are able to stay warm and dry.  Isn't this the craziest weather!  Last Friday we had a freezing rain/sleet storm that left ice on the roads making for hazardous driving for the Texans down here.  Heck, they have trouble driving when when the weather's clear.  ;)  I decided to stay at home and wait for it to clear off a bit, but then I got a call from the granite guy telling me that his installers would have time that day to come fix my granite counter top.  There's a seam over the dishwasher and one side of the granite was slipping down leaving a little step.  So, I was glad to tell him to send the workers over and get that fixed right up.

After:

So happy to have this all fixed up again.  I sure hope it doesn't happen again after another seven years.

Well, tomorrow we're supposed to get another ice storm, not enough to cover trees and down power lines like they get up North, but it'll make driving hazardous again.  The good thing is that this time, our office is CLOSED!  Yep, I get a free day off. 

Well, enough about that.  Time to show you my card for Creative Card Crew.  Not one, but two cards tonight.  We have two wonderful sponsors this week -

I think the ice storm we had on Friday gave me a brain freeze because when I was originally making this card, it completely went out of my head that I was supposed to use 2 designer papers for it.  Duh!  So I was happily going along putting my card together like this:

 I really liked this one, but I was able to just lift the image mat and the sentiment mat and place them on the other card base that I made. Now I have to color up another image and sentiment so I can put them back on this card.

I hope you'll take out some time to get inky and come join us this week.  You could be one of our winnters.  Hop on over to the CCC Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with.
