Turns out the card I posted earlier today was too late for the Tuesday Trigger by a hair trigger, durn it, Dagwood.
So I'm not taking any chances and I'm posting this card tonight. I keep missing the delightful new Seize The Birthday challenges, too, but not this time! With hours to go I made a card for the feminine take on the sketch:
One week you use the sketch for a feminine card and the next week you use it for a masculine card and, Gus, you build up your birthday stash. This challenge is sponsored by the awesome Alley Way Stamps!
~~~
And speaking of alleys, thanks to my earlier-mentioned friend Geri, and my new friend Barb, I found a fun new (to me) challenge that is right up mine. It's called Drunken Stampers, I kid you not! The challenge this time is "Finding Nemo." I love how they put the start and end dates right on their logo for geezers like me who can't keep track.
Without further baited breath, here's what I did:
This little guy is for everybody, really, whether feminine or masculine or adult or child and he really makes me smile. He even seems a little askew (bless you) which is as it should be on a wave card. It was fun to use my Memory Box dies, "Oceana Border" and "Loopy Rings." I mean, shouldn't I get extra credit for using a die called "loopy" on a challenge called, "Drunken Stampers?" I'm just askin'.

Since I used a scrap of snippet for my bubbles, I get to proudly take my card over to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Snippets to show my pals. I suspect there will be quite a bit of interest in my newfound tipsy challenge, especially after I tell them about the accompanying horse d' ovaries. Mm-mmm, such a treat. You can come, too! All you have to do is use up a scrap of your Snippets Mountain!

You crack me up. I loved this post, especially on your reasoning for the "askew" circle...yes, it is on a wave! Love your card Darnell, thank you so much for stopping by and playing with us.
Hugs.

This little fishie is so adorable and yes, those dies are perfect with this little fellow!

Your Nemo card is quite adorable - I LOVE this little fellow! Where did you get the stamp?

OK, I just spotted the small print at the bottom of your post saying where you got the stamp DUH. Forgive me. I've only had one cup of tea.
Your Playhouse is my dream. I would move in there tomorrow if I could.

Yes, you get extra credit for using 'loopy' rings :) And googly eyes, because who doesn't love googly eyes?

Awesome card, it's beautiful. Love how you've combined the sketch and finding Nemo together. The fish is too cute and love the bubbles. Your card on the previous post is also a beautiful take on the photo with the chair, very creative! And I see you've been cooking and saving old eggs:) Cheers, Shirleyx

Love the almost monochromatic card - those bubbles (I have that die, never used it!) add the perfect hit of colour!

LOVE that adorable little fish :)
So glad you joined us on Seize the Birthday.
I sure "fish" that you win this challenge with your sweet card.
Fabulous! I love the bubbles - going to have check out that loopy die. It could be quite versatile Neemo does seem like he might be just be a bit sea sick!
Thanks for the shout-out in your post. You're so kind :)
Oh, this has got to be the cutest!! I love the blue and all that bubbles! Will be back.
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I enjoy browsing thru yours as well!
You are the sweetest ever!!! Thank you for welcoming me into the community! I had a few gals pop over from your blog and join my blog, then I was able to go and join their blogs....I guess that is how the circle goes on and on...how much fun to play along!!!
Now I have a question...is there a way to protect my blog...On Sunday I went into my blog and it had all been changed into something different. It took me hours and it still isn't the same as it was. So I just wondered if it can be saved, or protected or some such thing. And thanks for your tips...they WORK!!! Yahoo...off on our road trip tomorrow, but will still be blogging as much as I can. Love that little NEMO..so so cute!
You're a hoot Darnell! Did I miss the horse d' ovaries? :) Nemo is so stinking cute! Tipsy or not! And he's got google eyes for Wanda over at paper creations too! (wink wink)
Your card is perfect for both challenges. I'm looking forward to joining the Seize the Birthday challenge when I get back to my craftroom but alas, I'm not a stamper, drunken or otherwise.
My craftroom is full of smiles and laughter now - what a fantastic card!
Just popping over from Pixies Crafty Snippets :)
