When I got to thinking about girraffes for Alex,...I only have a baby girraffe stamp so got the thinking cap on...lol...so if you smelled smoke....lol...It did work a bit...I wanted to do a fun one and I remembered the fun movie ...Madagascar and fun Melman...so had to have him wish Alex the best.
I just drew him and colored him with a water pen and inks, cut him out and cut out the head and raised just it to give it more a 3 d look.
I tried tonnes of dp but couldntfigure out what would work, I so have trouble with that...:0)...so I kept it clean and simple and just doodles around the edge, and added the bit of matching ribbon I had found.
There is a cute fun song on that movie ...which states ... you got to move it, move it...etc...so I am putting that on the inside with ...and get better soon. hopefully will bring a smile for her...:0)

OMGoodness . . . this is so much fun and so PERFECT! How talented you are to draw this! I absolutely love it and your CAS layout is perfect as it sets the giraffe off as the star of the show. Alex will treasure this!

What a sweet card for Alex and how thoughtful that you used such a fun sentiment from a song. She is sure to love this. I was soooo late on this challenge that I barely posted my card before this new one started - it was a close one.
