I danced like no one was watching....

(Inside):  My court date is next Friday.

Bah ha ha ha!   Now how could someone turn a beautiful sentiment into something silly? But, I have to admit, I hooted when I saw it.  So I did another card with Ballerina Eunice from Art Impressions and used the sentiment that my friend Lola sent me.

I did 4 of the these cards but each having tad different designer paper. (Nana Connie shared this great DCWV paper.)  I have several friends (2 males and 2 females) who could use a little extra laugh just about now.  The slippers, I thought, were from SVGCUTS, but they're not, but they have a great pair there for free.  The slippers are from  the Silhouette Store.

Same size, used Paper Studio paper pack...tears easy and not happy about that

Sentiment on the inside of each card

Challenges:

Crafty Card Makers: Humorous

Cards for Men:  Humorous ( Please don't reject me.  I'm sending the bottom card to my dear in-law who is very sick and each week I send him a funny card.  Eunice is not who I would call feminine.  If you do reject my cards...it's still going to him....haha)

You're Never Too Old

Good Grief....finally made a card after being on a 2 weeks hiatus!  I don't have a sentiment for the card yet.  I love this little lady from Art Impressions so I finally sat down and colored her.  Something about this old gal that makes me smile. I decided to follow the sketch from Catch the Bug for their Stella Says Sketch Challenge #130.  

The paper is from the "Latte Stack" from DCWV....wish I could find some more.  The ballerina slippers are from SVGCUTS.

Teepee Card

I was commissioned to do a birthday card, but the request had me "scratching my head".  The theme had to include birthday, a ballerina, and a specific beach scene sent to me of the little birthday girl.  Putting that all on one card seemed impossible since I couldn't get them to relate and only had two days to complete card.  Teepee card popped into my head.  The card folds flat and fits into a 5x7 envelop.  These pictures are not the greatest, but I am in a hurry to get the card to the purchaser this morning.  I decorated the envelop with her name with sea creatures and balloons streaming down.

I didn't want to add to much to this side since so many other sides were already a little busy

Her beautiful name. I lightly taped the name so she could play with the letters or remove them to put somewhere else
