Fun Puns

Just a quick post today to share the card I made for my DH & my Dad for their birthdays. Yep, they got the same card. Bad, I know. Their birthdays are only 2 days apart and with prepping 3 boys and myself for a 3 week trip, I ran short on time. I love, love, love puns. Naturally when I saw this sentiment from Amuse at my LSS, I had to have it. Amuse had a hippo & bird stamp to coordinate, but I chose this Snag 'ems stamp ($1 bargain) from Imaginisce instead. I popped up the hippos head with foam tape for added dimension. The button is tied with jute.
I had a fantastic time at my high school reunion! It was so much fun to catch up with old friends and classmates. We had some great entertainment Friday night compliments of Deuces Wild! Dueling Pianos. If your not familiar with the concept... two guys play piano & involve the audience in their act. They pull people up on stage or go out into the audience. If you look like you're not having fun, they will get you involved! I learned that the hard way. But it was all in good fun, right?
So far, my boys are enjoying their trip. They are definitely enjoying the cooler weather North Dakota offers over Virginia. Hopefully they won't get too homesick the next couple of weeks.

That card is just darling! Great coloring. And don't you look all comfortable and pulled together up on that stage. Glad you had a good time at the reunion. Now, try to relax and take some time for yourself while you let the grandparents "enjoy" the boys.

Such a cute card. I love hippos, but then again, I love all animals. Thanks for visiting my blog, it's great to know when people from far away came to 'visit'.
Keep well.

This is a real cute and adorable card! I like how you popped the hippo's head to give dimension and the colors you used on the whole card.
