Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge #17~~ Humor LOL!!

Morning Bloggers!!

It is time again for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.

Ready for this one....Challenge #17 is...

"Sense of Humor"

For this challenge you must include something funny, whether a funny photo or image and/or include some wording related to humor such as laugh, giggle, chuckle, funny, hysterical.

You get the picture...right. Lets make the DT laugh :)

So alittle background before I share my LO.

I posted awhile back about going to a birthday party with my son and the party having Nickle City Reptiles as their entertainment.

Not only do the kids LOVE seeing all the animals that Jeff brings...the adults LOVE listening to how funny Jeff is.

I attached a video link so you can see a small glimpse at how funny Jeff is.

He goes around locally and does birthday parties, the fair and school events~~ BUT~~ he also is a pretty regular Late Night with Jimmy Fallon guest.

Cool huh...so for my LO I did one of "Rockey" ~  the American Alligator

When Jeff brought Rockey out it was not funny :)

The kids were excited but screamed also. Not many of us get to see an alligator up close.

It just so happened that Rockey was in the mood to perform that day.

Doesn't it look like he is smiling?

The letters were cut with my cricut from Cuttin' Up and I added some white gel pen doodles

This picture cracks me up...LOL.. it really looks like he is laughing :)

Crazy that Jeff was able to put Rockey on his back and tickle him....actually I think he was just rubbing his belly but it looks like he is being tickled.

I added a couple of info circles as my journaling using my 2" circle punch.

I inked around the outside with coffee bean pigment ink.

The rub ons are from DCVW~ Safari Kids

Here is my alligator from Create a Critter. He is too cute not to put on this.

I embossed him with my Tiny Mosaic cuttlebug folder.

So there you have it :)

Do you think this is funny?!?!

Hope so and hope you will join us this week over at Whimsical Wednesdays  for our "Sense of Humor" challenge.

Remember you have 2 weeks to enter. Don't forget to check out the other DT's LO's. I know they are all so funny and so very inspirational.

Thanks for stopping by!



~~Summer Vacation Journal~~

Hi Blogging Buddies!!

Today is the first official day of summer break and I have always wanted to journal our vacation but never got around to starting.

This year since my boys are now in 3rd and 5th grade we are making it a priority to get this done.

My son picked out the paper which is DCWV~ The Endless Summer Stack as well as picked out the letters~ from the Cuttin' Up Cartridge.

We cut the sun from the Create a Critter Cartridge and I stamped a super cute face from PKS.

We dated the journal for this year using some metal numbers I had in my stash.

My son really likes the way this turned out and has already written in it for yesterday and today.

Now I just hope he can keep it up :)

 

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Hockey Puck Birthday Card

Hi happy bloggers!

It's the weekend and unfortunately I am still feeling under the weather...this silly head cold has really knocked me for a loop. I am feeling better than 2 days ago so hopefully tomorrow I will feel even better.

I have to because my youngest has a birthday party tomorrow and they are having a place called Nickle City Reptiles come and put on an animal show. I have attached their website here if anyone is interested in checking out this very cool group and show. They are VERY popular around our area and have even appeared on some popular TV shows. I have yet to see them and I am so excited for the chance to see them tomorrow. My son has also informed me they will be at his birthday party in June..only time will tell :)

Anyways here is the birthday card I made. The birthday boy plays hockey, just recently finishing his season and since I just got the Sports Mania Cartridge I thought I would give it a try.

I started out by welding two hockey pucks to make the card base. Remember one puck has to be flipped upside down so the card closes right. I cut it at 4" which is a perfect size, especially for an 8 year old to write inside his birthday message.

Once I assembled the hockey puck cut I slightly doodled around the name...which is from Cuttin Up.

I have a hard time trying to figure out what font to use and from what cart to grab it from...there are just too many cute and useful ones :)

To give the puck some "pop" I attached it to the card base with some foam dots.

I really like the way this simple card came out! And of course had the make the colors Sabres colors--gold and blue for the birthday boy's and ours favorite hockey team!

Hope you like this card....

I will be back later with some exciting news hopefully tonight if not tomorrow :)

Until then......
