Two cards for Thursday....


Only one more day until the weekend starts...but I have tomorrow off so a nice 3 day weekend is in store for me.  Not too much going on, hitting the Scrapbook Expo with a couple of friends (can't wait!) and I am hoping to get caught up on my online class, Clean & Simple, one layer cards, so far it looks like so much fun and I need to get caught up before I am expelled for skipping class.
I have 2 cards to share today, my first card is for the current challenge at Paper Players #186...I love this color combination, do bright and festive with spring right around the corner.



My second card is for our new challenge at Simply Create Too, challenge #57...using animals.  I ordered Zoo Crew from Paper Smooches so I would have a cute and adorable set to use for this card. This little giraffe is just so cute and I have him chomping on a leaf from a tree. You have plenty of time to play along with this new challenge so pull out your animal stamps and go WILD!  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week!

  5. Both of your cards are so cheerful and say spring to me. I love those PP colours too and that giraffe is so sweet! We are back in a deep freeze again, I need spring and you are helping here. :)

  6. Both are wonderful cards. Love that subway stamp. Totally forgot about it--had to have it and then forgot all about it. But, the killer today is that giraffe. With the googlie eye and him munching on leaves--eek--too cute for words.

  9. Both are wonderful, Kim! The colors are the first one look fantastic and I love the pretty yellow flower. The giraffe is just adorable. Showing him munching on some greenery was a brilliant idea!

  11. Finally back in our fun crafting world after a great visit with our daughter! We were 'computerless' for almost a week (now that is rough!!!) and although this new little rig is sweet a ever, I'm having a tough time hitting the right letters! Apologies for any accidental bad words!

    Two more sweet creations! The patterned papers in your first card works great together - love the flower and the enamel dots! The second card...too cute for words! Sweet idea to have the giraffe nibbling on the tree leaves!
