Graduate the time is now!

Today at Catch the Bug it's Friday Freebie and it's Bird Graduating along with a sentiment from TLC, Create. It's so unusual this year with not having a traditional graduation ceremony and parties. I think that the seniors just want the cards and cash and parties with their friends, lol. So I dry embossed a wood background and the red circle has the words "congrats, bravo, way to go".  Had to add some googly eyes for this silly owl.

Merry Christmoose Holiday Critter Chaos Day 5

Today at Catch the Bug it's Holiday Critter Chaos Day 5 ad it's Critter Chuckle of making a humorous creation using eh photo as inspiration.  For my card, I used Make it Snappy Merry Christmoose.  And, I thought that my moose was all tangled up in the lights and he even has his mouth tied with the lights so the cat and dog left him to go steal the milk and cookies and didn't share, lol. That's why he has the googly big eyes because he can't believe that they abandoned him all tangled, where we are not shocked at all.  I added a couple of charms on a knotted line in the corner.

Party till you melt

I wanted to make a card for me that wasn't part of a DT requirement so I made a Christmas card.  I used an image from Bugaboo called Goofy Snowmen Set and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  Naturally if it's a goofy snowman...he has to have goofy eyes and a pom on his hat.  The background is embossed.  It's a fun CAS card.
