This looks a little out of place at the A-Card-&-Me awards, but I didn't have any glam stuff that didn't involve a wedding or a bathtub, and I couldn't compete with the grunge cards attending....so I decided to go in a different direction (especially since it is Thursday already and the red carpet is already pulled up so it is safe for George to come now - George is my baby Giraffe).
I hate that Lauren had such clear dreams but is having to face such giant obstacles. So many people have no clear dreams and no heart involved in the ones they do have, so when you see drive, heart and determination, you just want it to suceed! I hope my card will make her smile at least.

Weddings or bath-tubs! Oh, that's right! Those two do sorta go together when you haven't been married for 42,000 years like me! Snort! This is so precious! I got such a giggle outa this card and I know Lauren will too...what kind words you have for her.....gives me warm fuzzies. What a fun card and such amazing coordinating giraffe stuff!
Hey Nanc.....didn't you know? Giraffe Designer stuff is big this year! Yup! Even on the red carpet, there is giraffe handbags, giraffe evening gowns, giraffe stilettos, giraffe hats, giraffe acrylic nails and even giraffe hair color! Its quite the look! And you just might get nominated this year! Okay, off to get the red carpet rolled back out.......hey people, you gotta see this!!!!! Look at George, the one with the long neck, duh!!!

Nancy, not only do I adore your card, but those papers are awesome. I have been itching to make a "Safari" type of card. Not my usual style, but one I think I could pull off. The twine was a perfect embellishment and I love the distress ink around that cute image. This is fantastic!

I'd seen Reach in your title, and then when I clicked on the thumb and could see those fabulous papers (have to scroll down on the laptop to see more) I knew it had to be a giraffe I'd see on the image panel. And such a sweet one, too. There may not be any Hollywood glamour or glitz here but I know that I would love this card and I bet Lauren will too.

Awww, I LOVE your card. It is so precious. I also went into a different direction than most. I think your card is going to make Lauren smile as big as I did

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, this is fabulous! Of course it will bring a smile to Lauren! How could anything this adorable not bring a smile to everyone? I love those papers and the image is great fun! Your stellar sponging just pushes it right into that fabulous, incredible, amazing, awesome level!
