Hello friends. This week's theme challenge from the
Paper Players hostess, Anne Marie, is "Tickle Your Funny Bone". The challenge is to make a card centered around a humorous, funny..or even "punny" image.
Oh boy did this one have me thinking. I just did not have any humorous stamps to use. I was bummed and almost decided I was going to skip this week, but as I was digging through my stamp drawer I came across these darling Build-A-Bear image and saying sets. "Oh Joy" - I thought - "I can still play"!! So this is what I came up with to enter in the
Paper Players Challenge #89. This follows the "punny" part of the challenge rather than the humorous. I stamped each letter across the banner by first coloring the letter with a Black Stampin Write Marker (a wee bit time consuming process - but worth it I think). Please don't look too closely though... I was trying to move the bottom banner layer over a bit and ended up tearing the strip a little and that last flag (drat!) so I had to stick it back together. From a distance it still looks good - just don't zoom in really close if you know what I mean :o). You may not have even noticed it - but it really bugs me so I have to tattle on myself LOL. The inside of the card says "HIP- HIP- HOORAY... It's Your Special Day!" Anyway... off I go to bed so thanks for stopping by and visiting me. Hope you enjoy today's card - come visit again, and I love to hear from you!
