Hello friends! I hope you are
doing well. It has already started out as a crazy year. We have had
rain 4 weeks so far (part of Dec) with only a day or two (cloudy) here and there. It is
supposed to start raining again on Friday night. That will be 5 weeks of rain. Monday, we received 10 inches
of rain. CA has a severe drought; but now we are flooding
everywhere. I don't think the rain will be enough to make up for the
drought.
I haven't really felt like coloring or creating anything; but I had to create a card for my great - granddaughter and one for my grandson. It took me two days to find the Giraffe stamp set I bought a few years ago; which I have never used. It took me another two days to figure out what type of card I wanted to make.
This is my grandsons card. He has always loved Giraffe's but I never could figure out what to do with this set once I bought it. LOL! I love it and I like how it turned out.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Thank you visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy my creations. I appreciate all of you. Be sure to check out my tabs at the top of the page for my videos, tutorials, clubs, specials and more. Call, text, Facebook message or email me with any questions you might have.
Click here for my new CTMH Videos. I added CTMH Workspace Wonder products to my desk a few years ago; and I was not able to use my video recorder on my desk after I did that. It took me a long time to finally come up with a way to do videos with that same recorder; but on a different arm/holder. Thanks for your patience.
Crazy weather as you say, here in the UK we had drought in the Summer after the driest season on record, then when it started raining it's hardly stopped.
ReplyDeleteYour Giraffe is adorable and perfect for a tall DL card, many thanks for sharing at Allsorts Something New theme this weeks and also a favourite colour at our January challenge at We Love Stamping.

This is a cycle of crazy weather, and what a mess you must have endured on the New Year holiday. I hope thing even out soon and the rain subsides. In the meantime, thanks for sharing your lovely birthday card with us at The Inspiration Station Challenge,

Your giraffe did make me smile. Not so all the rain you have been having. In the Uk it has been raining a lot but not as much. Hope the weather changes soon. Hugs Mrs A.

Wow Gloria, I can't imagine what so many of you are going through out in Ca. It is hard to "think and create" when so much is on your mind. Your card is adorable on so many levels and I know your grandchildren will be happy to get these cards from you. They are beautiful and special! Thanks for sharing over at the Inspiration Station Challenge this month and I pray for you and your family to be safe! Smiles, Kathy
