365 Cards Challenge 171 was a Tueday's Trio: Triangle-Sticker-Button, you must incorporate these three things in your card.
While my card does have all three things, I'm not happy with it. I like the components - but not the way they work together... but I'm low on time, so it will have to do.
I think I'll be covering up the sticker 'hi' with another, more visible sentiment in black (to offset the dark frame)
I do LOVE this stamp though - this giraffe has attitude!! My husband laughed out loud when he saw him, too. I HAD to buy him!! Some things you just can't resist. :D

365 Cards Challenge 172: ABCs and 123s. The details: Create a card with alphabet stickers and include at least one number. Don't have alpha stickers? If you have a stamp set with individual letters and numbers, that qualifies as well.
This was actually a very quick card for me. My friend, Kieran, sent me this image in an email, and I knew right away I had to use it for a card. I'll probably use it again, too... I can imagine all sorts of pithy captions. LOL
The inside reads "Again..."

Great card! Love the nostalgic feel to it:)
Carolyn, love the cards especially the vintage one. You my friend at least did yesterday's challenge.
Have a great visit with your daughter and hope to hear all about it when you get back.
That giraffe has the same look on his face as my pygmy goat used to give me...Boy I miss him! Both your cards are great! I love the retro gossipy ladies :-) I have a sign that would be a great comment for that card. It says: "I don't repeat gossip so listen carefully the first time." LOL Have fun in Michigan.
love the retro card and the look of disdain on that giraffe's face LOL Have a good trip.

Awesome job on both cards! That giraffe is too funny - I like it! And love the 29th bday card!!
How cute is that giraffe! Love your vintage card also.
These are both terrific Carolyn! Don't know why you don't care for the first one - I think it's just too cute!!! And that second one rocks! Great job!
I love the giraffe's eyes, which I could copy that with my students (or maybe the staff?)! Love the retro look of the 2nd card, I need to get more of those images. Have a great trip. We're hoping to visit our daughter at Christmas.
This is a great card Carolyn. I love the giraffe!!! I know what you mean about withdrawals not seeing ones daughter lol. I hope you have a wonderful time catching up with her but I will miss you. Have an awesome time my friend and catch you when you return.

Both of these are great! I love that giraffe. Even if you don't like it, it made me smile!
Both these cards rock. That giraffe had me smiling, I'd have bought that too. Love the vintage girls, and the gingham paper is just perfect with the image.
Ok, seriously that giraffe is HILARIOUS! i am checking out their stamp line now... I really love all the elements, but yes, I can see how a darker/bolder sentiment would be nice.
and I love the second card too! great image. great papers to go with it and yes, it just oozes pithy captions!
have a great time with your daughter!

LOL! I'm laughing out loud! That girraffe is wonderful! As are your cards! Lovely birthdaycard!
I love that giraffe... It's hilarious!
And the vintage image card is so cute! :)
The Giraffe card rocks! I love how he is framed and I am pretty sure all giraffes have that look, can you blame them they tower over the rest of us! BR-T
love your cards. YOu should be able to get the Cosmo Cricket paper at Archiver's in Michigan.
Fabulous! I love the look on the giraffe's face!
Blessings, Maria
