I made this card for the MFT80 challenge. Then I saw the Teapot challenge and thought "hey, I have a giraffe to share". I'm new to the site (yes, I know it's says I've been a member since 2010, but I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to use it) and to this challenge. I'm trying to figure out all these challenges so I can use my overflowing stock of stamping items.
Stamp Used: MFT PI Giraffe Girl
Paper: Giraffe background from PaperHouse Productions, Burlap-Home Basics, the rest scraps
Embellishments: eyelets and brad- Recollections
Die Cuts: MFT Simply Scallops, MFT Sentiment Strips

Whoo hoo! A newbie to the Teaparty! Welcome! I love that you had a giraffe to share with us this week and decided to come have some tea! Giggle! Your card is so precious and I just gotta say...that peice of burlap along with your giraffe are the perfect backdrop to this sweet little image of your little girley and her toy! I lot this card! It rocks....very creative and fun......
SCS can be cornfusing.....it happens to all of us so hang in there, before long you will be an old pro! Hey, newbie's get cookies! Yep, I always hide special cookies for the newbies, but.....sometimes i can't remember where I hid them....so be patient while I look around! Did I happen to tell you where I put them? Snort!

Welcome to the wonderful and wacky world of Teapotting! You've made a wonderful card to start your journey with the Teapotters!! I love how you have a giraffe print border and even the big giraffe peeking out from behind the little girl holding yet another giraffe! And heck, the little girl is even dressed in the colors of a giraffe! Cute all the way around!!

WELCOME to the Teapotter challenge! I love that sweet little PI holding the giraffe! You've done a great job coloring her. The burlap adds great texture and the photo bkgrd is coo, too. A double giraffe card for Alex, that will make her smile twice!

As a relative 'newbie' myself, Welcome! LOL that you think we know what we are doing.....I know for me its a hit or miss prospect, and love that there are so many sisters in SCS that are willing to PM me or leave a note of help. They have helped make me look like I know what I am doing.
Love your card - what a sweet image.....reminds me of taking my daughter to the zoo, and visiting the giraffes, putting a quarter in the machine and getting some goodies to feed them - truth told thats a little intimidating and we for sure were on a bridge to reach them, I digress. Welcome and lovely card. Hope to see you again at a Tea Party!!!
