Hi friends!! Today's post is rather unusual ... and it's all my fault! LOL! ;) My birthday (ugh) is coming up at the end of this month and we've been joking about it ~ me saying I'm older than dirt. The kids think it's funny. Me ... not so much! I'd rather just not have another one ;) So, in our Crafters of Faith SCS group, I proposed another mini-challenge with this thought in mind ..... create a card/project with an un-birthday theme! Now - confession time - when I thought of this theme and challenged them to create with it, I didn't have a CLUE what even *i* was going to do! It sounded neat! It sounded fun! It sounded intriguing! But then I just sat and sat and thunk and thunk ....... and well, this is best I could come up with. Eeek!
Using this adorable Whipper Snapper stamp, I tried not to make this a "happy birthday" card right off and sort of disguised it as a funny celebration - and hopefully the "pun" makes sense! My dd13 looked at it and went 'uh-huh ....'
so maybe not so much, ROFL! I paired it with some non-birthday paper from Fancy Pants, colored up the puppy with prismacolor markers and added some buttons *smile!*
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!
