The Sentiment!

 Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is 'Add a Sentiment.'   As usual, I've overdone and used the sentiment as my focal!  However, I have added the required, and cute, die cut!  This card is perfect for most of the guys in my family since it features mapping and a cat!  My guys are all into science and animals, so I'm sure this will be a hit!

 Interested in my process on this card or that kitty die cut?  Check out the video below.
