Laughing Animals for Paper Players #690

Happy Sunday

It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has such a fun Clean and Simple Theme for us.  Oh... and this week I managed to remember that it was Clean and Simple!!!

Anne Marie's theme was a great excuse for me to pull out one of my old favorites from Paper Rose Studios called Laughing Animals.  Here's a sneak peek:

And here's Anne Marie's theme:

I have lots of crafting supplies but I really don't have a lot that are in the funny category, so this old set tends to be my standby set.  Mind you, I do love it! 

Creating this card was really easy.  I stamped, colored and die-cut the animals and used an old stencil to create a background for them.  I did a little ink blending along the bottom of the card and added the individual sentiments.  Easy peasy!

Here's my full card:

I swear the look on that giraffe's face just kills me!  I hope you will join us and play along with our challenge - we would love to see your LOL cards!  As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:

On a personal note:

Well, I am way behind on the promised orangutan post and the only excuse I have is that I have been spring cleaning like crazy since I got home.  I've also made over 100 cards for a local transplant home and, of course, taking care of the TTW that has invaded our house.  TTW = total time waster!  Mine that is.  I'd forgotten how much fun it is to have a kitten around the house.  Man.... ALL of that energy!  He's a complete goof-ball and we love him dearly.  I love watching him twitching his ears and watching his ear tassels wiggle.  Yeah.  I know... Small things amusing small minds and all of that :-)   I was beavering away making cards at my crafting desk when I felt this tug on my knee.  Chilli had left the comfort of his chair and moved onto the stool that I use as a foot rest and was patting my knee wanting attention!  So, seriously, who wouldn't get tempted to watch THIS all day!

And, on that note, I have a kitten trying to walk all over my laptop trying to get my attention so I should do my civic duty and go pay him some attention!  I'll be back later in the week - I promise!  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.

Hugs
