The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #14 - Z is for Zoo!



Hi All!

Welcome to the The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #14 - Z is for Zoo!  All you need to do is make a project featuring animals or animal prints! 



No stamping this time.  I found this awesome photo* of a baby giraffe!  For some reason I think his name is Gerard...Gerard Giraffe.    I felt Gerard seemed to be blowing a (tongue between the teeth) raspberry.  His tongue is not showing but, from this angle, his upper lip looks like one.   “TTTTHPBT!” and the inside sentiment was typed in a free font - Distress.  I used the Tim Holtz Burlap Texture Fade and embossed an Um Wow chipboard branch.  All the cardstock is from Club Scrap.



The challenge ends on Friday, August 22nd, at 11:55 pm EDT   Link your project at SoSSYou'll have a chance to win the auspicious title of Queen or Princess of Snark!   
You know you want to win it!  If you're our Queen, you can be our Guest Designer!

  12. hehehe, love this. And I have to say I love how the picture of Gerard just fits. Whenever I try to incorporate pictures in a card, it looks so..... well it doesn't "fit". Your card is great and then to open the card and read the sentiment..... perfect. thanks so much for playing along with us in our August ePlay Embossing Challenge.

  19. Pffft! Love the giraffe blowing a raspberry. Our zoo has a giraffe feeding time for kids. Hubby is a kid at heart so we had to partake. Giraffe tongues are black and long, great for blowing raspberries!
