No WAY...Hee, hee!!! & Winter and Winter Warmies Challenges

No way!  No way, no way, no WAY!!!!  My little froggy card made the top five at Fantabulous Cricut!  Hee, hee!!!  I can't believe it and I'm SOOOOOO excited!  Thank you guys at FCCB for the recognition...his really makes me smile!  Just thought I'd share.  :o)

Okay, so now that I have that out of my system, I've been working today on another one of Fantabulous Cricut's challenges...Winter Warmies.  For this challenge we are supposed to create using some sort of winter clothing/accessory on our project.  Well, when I saw this, I immediately thought of my froggy and decided to put some winter clothes on another animal (this was before I found out I made the top 5).  So, after lots of thinking and browsing through my little cartridge handbooks, I decided to dress up the Create a Critter giraffe.  I am also entering this in My Sheri Crafts' Winter challenge.  Here's what I came up with:

With the flash...

...without the flash (I can never decide which is better).

So, for this card, I used my Gypsy to add some winter clothing to my little giraffe.  I got the hat and scarves (she needed 3, of course!) from the Winter Frolic cartridge and the boots from the Paisley cartridge.  I did some trimming on the boots so they looked more like snow boots and not rain boots.  Then, I added some chalk, some ribbon, and a sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Winter Punnies stamp set, and she was all done!  I just love this card...the giraffe is so cute in her blowing scarves!  I hope you like it, too!  :o)

  5. Cute, cute, cute! Congrats on being in the top 5 too! Awesome! I came over to join your blog since you joined mine ( thank you btw ) and to ask....since I saw you lived over in Germany...is there a way to "adopt" a soldier? Someone that might need cards sent to them? If you can hook me up, or know someone, let me know! :)
