Could you just die seeing these adorable wiener dogs in all their colors? That was my initial inspiration from IB139 ... then my weird brain took over... give this girl a title like that!? Come ON!
A little custom sentiment using Word, and a favorite nursery song, and voila! the perfect retirement card. Okay. So my friend didn't own a knick knack shop, but she'll get it just the same!
I can hardly wait to see all your fun cards in our IB139 gallery! Let the fun begin by taking inspiration from the entire, fantastic, IB team...

Card deets:
The words were all mine but EH provided all the sets, and coordinating dies, needed to make this card come true: Clever Sausage, Dog Lady, and So Matcha for the knick knack kitty! The wiener dog's ears were elongated using his party hat die with the pom removed... all the papers are from SU's Brights 6x6 dsp collection. EXCEPT my background paper which was created using C&9th new inks, and Positive Print turnabout stamp - cut with W&W Audrey die.
oh my goodness, so fun! I love how you created your scenery! I see that clever sausage was a popular set for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteCustom words are definitely your thing...this card...I have no words, myself.
ReplyDeleteYou are a clever stamper to go with this clever sausage! Cute sentiment and I SO remember that little ditty from when I was about 4 or 5 years old!! Not as cute as this is, though!
ReplyDeleteSo fun. You did a great job brining the challenge to light in your card.
ReplyDeleteNobody does fun quite like you my friend! This card is a winner for sure and has totally made me smile...love, LOVE your sense of humor!! Hugs. :0)

ReplyDeleteFrom design to sentiment, it's amazing and fun and I wish it was sitting on my desk :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, and especially fun with your clever idea of using This Old Man nursery rhyme, Michele! (Of course I googled it. ;-))
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of dies and stamps from different sets, as always! I thought you used a design paper for the background panel!
