Cat In The Hat Layout SOUS Die Cut Challenge

Hello crafty friends,
So glad you stopped by. This should have posted at midnight, but I have been having technical issues with my computer the last couple of days! Big headache, but I think I am finally out of the woods on this one anyway... So here is my post a bit early. 

Today (Friday) is a new die cut challenge at SOUS challenges. Today the die cut team was tasked with using an umbrella in our projects. So I had some super bright and colorful paper that I wanted to do something fun with. I thought of the Cat in the Hat SVG set from PCW and thought it would make a perfect pairing with that colorful paper. Here is what I came up with.

Here is a look at my completed layout. The picture really doesn't do it justice. The colors are very primary and very vibrant.

Here is a closer look at Mr. cat. He was a lot of fun to piece together. He is holding his “wonky” umbrella and ready for some playtime!

Of course what is a Cat in the Hat page without the crazy little thing 1 and thing 2 characters!

Here is a look at the layered embellishments. I used several layers of circle and scallop punches and then topped it with a button and some twine.

  1. This is such a fun and colorful lay out!! Love all the details on your individual pieces. I got my holes to be straight using a Tim Holtz' ruler. It's probably the only thing in his line that I think everyone needs.

  8. Oh this is soooo fun! Loved Cat in the Hat! When we were in Florida, hubby and I went to see Harry Potter World. When you walk in a bit, there is an area for Cat in the Hat! Two kids came running out with their "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" t shirts but was hilarious was mom and dad's shirt read "The Mother of All Things". Dad's was "The Father of All Things". What a riot it was to see all 4 together.
