Hello friends, Things are a bit hectic here but in between cleaning out closets and putting my house back together after having two bedrooms painted I found some time to rest and play along with the challenge going on over at The Paper Players. I knew which card I was going to make as soon as I saw their laughter is the best medicine challenge. The idea came from the sentiment that comes from the stamp set Manatee-rific by Newton’s Nook-Floaty Potato. LOL I will never call a Manatee by its given name ever, ever again. Also, we all need to remember when life is hard or if we are having a bad day, that we could in fact be a Floaty Potato! Oh wait, that doesn’t sound so bad after all! ;). No worries, no stress, and feeding on seagrass all day.
I don’t have very many funny stamp sets in my stash, so I had to create the text on the front of my card with my computer.
Card 2– I don’t care for this one as much. The added dies don’t look like they belong.


I will also be linking up over at Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge.

Card Details: The Stamp and stencil are both from Newton’s Nook. The little dies on card 2 are from MFT. I used Oxide inks for the background and some colored-pencil and Copics to color with. I made the free-from shape myself with a piece of acetate. The speech bubble die is from SU.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope whatever you do today it brings you joy and you laugh a little too! Nanc’

I love your little floaty potato, Nancy, and the stenciled background you gave him. He has such a cute face.

These are so darn cute, Nancy! Love the stenciling in the background and the punny sentiments!

Nancy, your cards are adorable! The stenciled background is awesome. And seriously, I will never be able to look at a manatee again without thinking of a “floaty potato”. Thank you for making me laugh out loud, and thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!

That properly made me laugh out loud Nancy – I will never look at a manatee the same way again! Love that background stencil too. So looking forward to seeing the floaty potatoes again when I visit the sunshine state later this year!! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

LOL, I had never heard a manatee called a floaty potato, but it does seem appropriate, and yes, I could stand being a floaty potato once in a while! Adorable card…that background is just amazing! Fun way to play along with our Paper Players challenge this week!

Just an adorable card and I love the fun sentiment. I should really make more humorous cards like this one.
