Was
so fun to create my second card for the second half of Double D’s Challenge- 12 Days of
Christmas. And
this time I thought a bit outside of the box… with the help from a wonderful
freebie from Beccy Muir. I LOVE the fun spirit in her free 8 Maids a Milking image.
And… by
spirits I don’t mean the liquid kind! Even though, at first glance I wondered
just what was
in those glasses they are holding high. (In my defense, I have worked
in drug and alcohol
prevention for over 30 years… AND live in Wisconsin, which was
just recognized for having
7 of the 10 “most drunkest” cities in the nation.
Yes… Yikes! Sadly, I have job security. But I
digress! ) Then I noticed that
several were also holding Christmas cookies so they are
toasting the completion
of a hard day at work with milk and cookies. Yay!
I trimmed
the colored image and adhered it to the front of a premade Christmas card, which
is from a box of 10 cards that was 90% off at Goodwill last Spring! The sentiments on the
front and inside are
computer generated… with the help of my funny hubby. We tried to
include the
saying “fresh squeezed” somewhere… but it just didn’t fit in. Still we had lots
of
giggles and a few guffaws when coming up with the greeting. Funny fun! (The card
also
includes the sentiment inside “Tis the Season” which was on the inside of
the boxed card. I
liked the bit of color it adds. Lastly, I also decorated the front
and inside sentiments
with stickers I picked up at Hobby Lobby.
I’m
entering this card in additional challenges including Scribbles Designs:

ReplyDeleteI love the way you did the cookie jar card Kathy!! Really SWEET ♥ Thanks so much - Have a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookie jar Kathy, the red and white gingham looks fabulous with the kraft. You did a wonderful job highlighting sections of the image.
ReplyDeleteMilk and cookies and laughs with the girls is a recipe for a fun afternoon Kathy... although I must admit that I would more than like substitute coffee for the milk! Love your card, you and hubby have done a great job working up the sentiment. Well done!
Cheers,
Beccy
