Hello Stamplings!
How's the world treating you? I'm not going to talk about the beautiful spring weather today because someone told me they are having snow this week after several days of gorgeous weather. We'll just talk about something else.
This month over on the Twofer Card Challenge, our prompt is Z🐒🐘 ANIMALS!
This month over on the Twofer Card Challenge, our prompt is Z🐒🐘 ANIMALS!
I chose an adorable zebra from Paper Smooches for my zoo critter.
Onefer
In addition to the baby zebra, for my encouragement card I also used an ancient unmarked grown-up zebra foam stamp. I stamped him onto a dream cloud die from Simon Says Stamp and popped the cloud on the upper panel. The sweet NBUS sediment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Challenges

Animal antics. Use no designer paper. - Mix It Up: Black and white plus one color.

For my second design, I made a Christmas card by giving the little zebra a Santa hat from Memory Box, cut from fun foam. The NBUS stitched half circle die is from MFT, the sediment is from The Ton, and the borders are tape from Washi. QACAS! He looks like the grandtwins looked a few years ago when we made them wear Santa hats on Christmas eve!

The winner is Lisa Babitz of I Played With Paper Today. Congratulations, Lisa! Happy shopping! (You see Hammy is wearing his Easter bonnet already!)
In that same post I offered my "boo-boo" card to anyone left-handed because I put the front on the back. What I should have done is said that I've made that mistake eleventeen hunnert times before in 17 years of making cards. I feel very blessed to have friends like you who think I'm perfect and it's never happened to me before now! Mwah! The winner is Mia of Craftartista! Congratulations, Mia! I'll be in touch to get your address.
Finally, there were 40 of you who asked to be included in the draw, so as promised, I have personally donated $80 to the Epilepsy Foundation. Just click on the link if you would like information about making a donation yourself. Thank you to everyone who commented on that special post!
