Jan at The Paper Players 'had me' when she included smoky slate for her color challenge! AND I had the perfect guy for the job! Have you seen this fun color challenge?
Marcia was kind enough to share her Spellbinders' Shipmates set and I took advantage of the time I had to spend with this salty fella...
I have to give Tom credit for thinking of this perfect sentiment -
I thought of using my handy Dymo label maker to make it happen!
Thank you, Jan at The Paper Players!
Tom also needed a retirement card for his long-time UPS driver...
I'm not sure if he has any water-related hobbies, but I couldn't resist
this sentiment...
It starts and ends with stamps from HoneyBee's Seas the Day sentiment set -
but I tucked in the middle 'overboard' part!
Thanks again, Marcia! You are a lifesaver! Thanks, Jan, for giving me the perfect time to use him!

ADORABLE! Man, I can't believe how cute both these cards are, Michele. Leave it to you and Marcia to send me shopping again... Your card is perfect for the challenge and also the recipients
ReplyDeleteI have this guy and LOVE him, and what you did with him -- ack! -- so cute and fabulous! These colors are perfect for him. Love the stripes. Dang! I need more excuses to use him!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest retirement cards ever!!! This die set is amazing. I love how you created the sentiment for the first card. You definitely used the challenge colors brilliantly. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, both of these cards are so cute Michele! That salty fellow is a charmer, especially with his pipe and the jaunty tilt of his head in the second card. Kudos to Tom for the fun sentiment. Love these both to pieces! It's always a treat to see your card in the Paper Players gallery. Thanks for playing along this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards with that cute fella. Love how you used the Dynamo labeler to make the sentiment on the first card. That retirement card is perfect for a guy. Have a great weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAm I allowed to say that I think I like this fella even better than the bear... ssssh don't tell Mr. Bear lol. Such a fun collection of designs Michele!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! These both made me smile - I didn't even realise that a walrus could be adorable! The striped background lifts it up a further notch. I'm glad the Smoky Slate 'got you' and that you joined in my colour challenge at The Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous retirement card, Michele! Perfect in every way. Made me grin.
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humor proved advantageous to make these walrus cards full of color and fun, Michele.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is so much fun and the sentiments are so perfect, Michele! WWCD, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHe looks perfect in those colors Michele and I adore the sentiments on both!! So glad he worked for both cards!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou know this walrus scared me the first time I saw him but I grew to like him. I'm totally in love with him now that he's in his jaunty raincoat and hat! Perfect for the PP color challenge and I believe he's on sale!
ReplyDeleteThis dude is ALWAYS good for a big smile! Gosh these are oodles of fun! Good job to Tom too ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is such a fun image Michele. I especially love those white whiskers.
ReplyDeleteOh Michele, thee cards are just too fun!!! I love what those colors sparked your brain to do here. That walrus is so adorable, and I love the way you did the sentiment with the label maker. Kudos to Tom on this perfect sentiment! Love the way you switched the colors in the second card, and another brilliant sentiment!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! These are BRILLIANT!! I love the first one-that sentiment ROCKS. You need to get together with a designer and design sentiments!!!
ReplyDeleteYour nautical walrus looks fab in all his different guises Michele, how lucky that you can grab some crafty time with Marcia and share your stash. I wish you were closer, it would be great to have some craftytime with like minded people! Thanks for the lovely comment about my w/c peony, you are too kind. :)
