Today we are celebrating Sandie Munroe of London Days as she turns another year older and better than ever! Sandie is well-known and well-loved throughout the towns, valleys, and villages in Blogland! She plays in challenges, owns challenges, designs for challenges, and leaves wonderful comments of support and encouragement!!
I'll cut the chatter today so you can hop around the gallery and go make a card and join in the linky party over on Kylie's Addicted to Stamps blog.
As you no doubt know, Sandie loves purple, so this first card is the card that I made and sent off to her:
When she opens up the peek-a-boo opening, she will find a friend who wants to party with her on her special day!
I had to lay the card flat to remove the shadows so you could see him. The "Peek-a-Boo" die is from Pretty Pink Posh. The partying frog is from an OOB company. The "Let's Party" NBUS sediment is from Paper Smooches "Word Salad."
And that's not dandruff on the card. I shook my Wink of Stella too hard and ended up with a puddle in the lid, so I whacked it with a pencil to shower the card with teeny winkles. Here is a close-up of the second card I made in white. Perhaps you can see the sparkly WOS glittering up the party animal!

Look Away!
Okay, so head's up. The next card I made contains a naughty word. You should click off now if you think you might be offended and think less of me in the morning.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but I got this stamp set from "Funny Bones" by Riley & Company that just karacks me up. It's an expression we use here in America. I mean, of course, if we're naughty. The modern day version with no naughty word is, "Thank you, Captain Obvious!"
Anywize, the hamster and I have been trying to figure out a way to design a card for it and we think this peek-a-boo die is the perfect vehicle:

| Sherlock |
I'm so bad!

ReplyDeleteThese are the funniest cards - love the second as that is a favourite saying around our house! Your purple card is perfect for Sandie's birthday - thank you for joining the party :)
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE this fun card Darnell! We use that saying in the UK too, well, not us 'ladies' of course ;) Sandie is one vaery lucky lady to be the recipient of such great cards! Have a lovely weekend my friend! Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteThese peek a boo cards are genius, Darnell! The purple card is SO Sandie and the second one.... I say that all the time!! LOL. Thanks so much for linking up at Sandie's birthday party xx

ReplyDeleteDarnell, you are fabulous! Love the cards you created. They are fun and unique, just like you. And the last one? I like you more for sharing it. Hee, hee. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's official, I love you even more now... ditto your sentiment here. Love Sandie's birthday card...but, if I too could be a toad bit naughty, looks as if his party horn could use a little
ReplyDeletefly-aggra!!! Geez I crack myself up some days!!!
big hugs...smooches, too..
Michele
Ha ha ha, still laughing - such FUN cards!!!!!! Happy weekend to you, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I have been looking at that die earlier tonight so glad you showed me how to use it.
ReplyDeleteOf course I had to look - the warning made me more curious :)
We say that here in Aus
Have a fabulous weekend and a Happy Birthday to Sandie.
Love the party toad Darnell, you made me smile with that. I'm sure Sandie will too. :)x
ReplyDeleteLove the interactivity of this design! Really fun!

ReplyDeleteFantastic peak a boo cards! You are very creative and clever :) Happy Weekend, Hugs, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteOK - the Sherlock card had me laughing out loud! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!! Both are outstanding!
ReplyDeleteLynn
Love the toad card. Have a soft spot in my heart (or maybe it's in my head) for them. Love the die...you can do anything with it. No shit! Fell off my chair when I saw the second card. Laughing so hard my stomach hurts. GREAT SENTIMENT!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a card made with this peekaboo opening before, but it's not unusual for me to discover new things when coming over here:) super cute cards with a little surprise element, perfect for postage.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards with that peek-a-boo feature. Your frog is "toadally" awesome. PARTY ON!!!
ReplyDeleteDo I need to get the bar of soap! ( as my mother and I would later say to my kids) :)
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and the purple one for Sandie is too cute love the way you used that die.
Aw! Really enjoyed BOTH of these! And #2 made me laff all over agin. So we can have another acronym: NSS??? And we will ALL know what it means! Your cards are just delightful, and Big Happies to Miss Sandie. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love your peek-a-boo cards Auntie! They are just so fun and cute, love that sparkling frog! I do love frogs and when I lived in the south as a young teen, you would find me out catching said frogs. Even as an adult, you will still see me chasing down a frog at night just to hold him. lol It is your second card that really had me chuckling as yes, this is what we say all the time in America! Let's see, if I had a penny for each time this was said or I heard it I would be a rich woman! Love that they made it into a stamp set. lol A very Happy Birthday to Miss Sandie!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteA cutie and a sassy...love them both! Your second card made my smile a little wider 😬
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Darnell and have a great weekend!
Cute birthday card and the other one is so funny and hilarious! That cracked me up too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Sandie. This is a fun card for her. Love the raised peek a boo opening and the surprise inside. The second card didn't surprise me when I saw the inside. I had already said Sherlock to myself when I read the sentiment! Bad me, that I knew what was coming. That is a cute card.
ReplyDeleteGreat style of card and quite unique I think, not offended at all, a word I used regularly when I was a working girl.
ReplyDeleteKath x

ReplyDeleteSherlock card made me laugh.. Good one.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome die and fun cards! You are amazing to have these ready to post while you're gone!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the delay in visiting your wonderful blog, Darnell (I've been off line for a bit)! You totally and completely 'crack me up'! I love that you chose Sandie's fave color for her birthday card...I know she's going to love the peek-a-boo element, too! And your 'No shit, Sherlock' card is too funny! Thanks for the eye candy and the great laugh today!
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove the peek a boo idea (and love purple and sparkley dandruff too)
The No shit Sherlock phrase is alive and well over this side of the pond too so no need to worry, I couldn't possibly think any less of you hahaha. . . . . .only joshing you're an absolute tonic who makes me laugh out loud.
Have a great day.

You can never offend me Darnell, I love a good swear-word every now and then, and try to save them for extra good (or bad) moments. This is an extra good one...its hilarious!! Love it and also your card for Sandie. She will love all the purpleliciousness (?) and bet she had a fabulous birthday knowing how much she is loved by us all.
ReplyDeleteYOU are a HOOT!! Always making me smile and I always feel glad I came to visit your blog!! Awesome cards - both of them!! Unique and amazing - just like you!! Thanks for cheering up my day!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards. I obviously love the second one just a bit more because I'm a little potty mouth at heart :)
ReplyDeleteI know Sandie grinned when she opened the darling card! So fun, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteYour peek-a-boo cards are so fun Dolly! Sandie is going to love all that purple! :) As for the second card, well, I say that quite a lot :) so funny! Lolly xx
ReplyDeleteYou're so gooooood!
ReplyDeleteOh how funny! That die is perfect for both cards, Darnell! Yeah, the naughty and nice ones ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, these cards are both so much fun and so cleverly done, Darnell, but I could not help but LOL at the Sherlock one!!!! Love both!!!

ReplyDeleteKathyk
Sweet purple card, and well I must say I might just think a bit more of you for the Sherlock...lol. Wonderful use of the die, such fun cards Darnell.
ReplyDeleteThat die is freakin cool. And the frog made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteI love the funny bones line of stamps at Riley & Co. The peek-a-boo is great from Sherlock. And I definitely don't think less of you. :-)
