Academic Award Congrats!

Hi everyone!!

My nephew is being honored tonight at an academic awards ceremony.  He always has straight A's on his report cards!!  He is an AMAZING kid!   I wanted to make him a card to give to him after the ceremony tonight, so I went to work on it last night.

At first, I just wanted something real simple and quick, so I started working on a card... and while putting on the finishing touches of it, a different card popped into my head!!  It made me laugh, and it was more my nephew's sense of humor!  So this is what I came up with:

 And here's the sentiment:

HA HA HA HA!!

I also made a 'matching' gift card holder...a jeans pocket:

I am so happy because the card turned out just as I had pictured it in my head!! (LOVE when that happens!!)

I know that my nephew will get a chuckle out of it!!  Here is the card that I made first, it's cute too...just not my nephew's style. :)

Thanks for checking out my cards!!  I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

Shocked Turkey!

Hey paper pals!!

I can NOT believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!  I feel like the turkey on my card...shocked that it is here already!!  I had the idea for this card in my head for a long time now, and just got it made earlier this week.  Then, last night I was youtube-ing, and saw a video of the (almost) exact same card!!!! That is freaky when that happens, right?!?!  

And now I feel bad because I had planned to put a link/shout out to that gal, and I can't for the life of me remember who it was, or find the sheet of paper I wrote it on!!!  So if you see this post, I am SO SORRY!!  :(  But I did love your card!!! :) 

So here is my card: 

The [live\] turkey is from Create A Critter, the thought bubble is from Smiley Cards (with a few extra little circles from head to thought bubble) and the baked turkey is from Doodlecharms.  I threw some over sized  google-eyes on the turkey to make him looked shocked, like they were popping out of his head.  Haha. The background paper is from a Specialty  photo mat stack by Cloud  9, and if it has a name, I can't find it.  But it has fall papers, Halloween, and Christmas.  I love it!  I bought the 12x12 and the photo stack.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a super nice Thanksgiving everyone!!!
