Hippest Hippo

 I have "most" of my Cinderella chores for the day done - so I am going to play while hubby watches the ball game.  I have had this set from StampinUP since salebration started and I placed my first order but this weekend is the first time I have had any spare time just to play.  The first card is done in purples - which is a pretty simple layout.


Used a bit of vellum behind the circles.  This will go to great grand daughter - as it has love you a TON sentiment.  The next one I did in pinks


This is going to a friend who just finished 20+ radiation treatments for her cancer.  She surely deserves something to make her feel like she has accomplished something.  I need to adjust the tight rope (black and white bakers twine) so her foot is on the twine.  I think I can do this without taking it apart - at least I hope so.  This set comes complete with dies - so many accessories - love the glitter sunglasses and umbrella.  

Off to make two hippo boy cards for the two boy great grands.

Both of these cards are absolute winners! Love that happy hippo in her tutu. Best wishes to your granddaughter on her birthday and congrats to your friend for completing her treatment. Both are fabulous reasons to celebrate AND to receive a special card.

That dancing hippo is super CUTE! Reminds me of going to the Cincinnati Zoo to see Fiona the hippo! They're both darling cards and what a nice way of spreading some smiles to someone!
