Be Mine

Miss Diamond had a very busy Valentine's Day season as she put together not one, but three different valentines for he mancats in her life: Zed Monster, Snarf and Reptar.

Zedmonster Valentine


Zed Monster more or less won her paw as it were, but she'd very much liked his writings in Bad Kitty Cats Journal. We've not heard from him recently, but they were in the process of moving and these things take time. Kitty cat access to the Internets is not high on the list of human priorities.

Snarf Valentine


Snarf is Diamond's Pikadate, and has been ever since Pikapet introduced the concept of Pikadating just under a year ago. He's been on and off Pikapet sporadically, but then, so as Miss Diamond, given that the system usually has it's head up it's butt.

Reptar Valentine


I got a quick note back from Lynn on Reptar's valentine with a file of a cat purring attached. Anyway, at the baseball game today I ran into Bobby and after expressing condolences that his Yankees did not win the Yohan Santana Sweepstakes (and that I did not get Ian Kennedy) I got around to asking if he'd seen the Valentine's Day card.

He said yes and that she'd sent it to probably everyone in the whole world. So I guess she liked it. I'll have to get a few more pictures of Reppy and work up a scrapbook page for her.

These were done in a mixture of Photoshop and Photosuite. For what it's worth, Miss Diamond did not seem to mind the dress up. In all cases, clicking the image will enlarge it so you can see it better.

Chey Mate!

This was done as a free composition in PhotoSuite, although I edited the bar code in Photoshop before importing it. It was actually kind of fun and not really hard to do at all!

Legal Tender

We're in the basement, learning to print
All of it's hot!
10-20-30 million ready to be spent
We're stackin' 'em against the wall
Those gangster presidents
~ B-52 from the 1983 album Whammy!

Chey is still going off about her "counterfit" birthday gift from Diamond:

In Chey We Trust


It's of course perfectly valid currency in Katopia, backed by the Bank of Catatonia. Just like Yao-lin Loot is perfectly legal:

The Bank of Yao-Lin


Diamond doesn't deal in cash. She prefers platic:

Diamond Credit Card


But she does carry a cash card for those odd times when she must turn to either Chey Pay or Yao-Lin Loot to get what she wants.

All of these were stock templates in PhotoSuite version 4.0. Fun stuff!

Most Romantic Pet


High Society


Both these magazine covers are standard templates in PhotoSuite that I was playing around with in February of 2008. My mom really like the Valentine's day cover. I was less happy with it because the header is very unclear.

There are several places on the net where you can get your cat's photo put onto a magazine cover - such at over at Cat Channel but these are not as customizable as doing one in your graphics progam:
