Hello, Hello and off we go,
Let's get going and start the show!
Oregon is the place to see,
For super fun and cool tea party!
Alex, is who we are to cheer,
to make her smile from ear to ear!
She's been ill, not having fun,
But she'll be happy by the time we're done!
She likes animals of this I am told,
but they didn't say whether young or old.
They did say she prefers them TALL,
and she likes Giraffes most of ALL!
It started with a trickle and then a stream,
Giraffes from everywhere could be seen!
They filled her room and filled her house,
It might have been less filling if she liked a mouse!
This week's teaparty is for Alex. She is a young lady in Oregon who has had some significant health problems.
I made Alex a card, that says "What's up Alex?" and a tag. The card uses an adorable Bugaboo digi stamp. It is colored with Copic markers. For the sentiment stamp, I used a Stampendous stamp on a leaf I cut with my Cricut.
For the tag, I used a Kenny K digi on a chipboard tag. I sponged and chalked the background and used Copic markers to color the image. I cut more leaves and the grass with my Cricut and hubby cut the back off of the cute sun button and I arranged and adhered them. I made a little tag and used stickers for Alex's name. Lastly, I cut four different colors of ribbon and looped them onto the tag.
I think I am starting to like giraffes too!!! Except for their blue tongues! LOL

Your tag is just darling - I love it!! Of course I like the card too, the leafy sentiment and dangling foliage are super.
I never knew about blue tongues till this week - you're never too old to learn something new!!
