It’s JiFFy Time!
Yes, it’s time for another Just For Fun challenge with the Jiffy girls…Julie, Lori, Alli, Carole and myself. And guess what?! I’m happy to say we have a new Jiffy girl…our friend, Kim Hughes! We’re super-excited to have her join us! 
Welcome, Kim!!!
This month Lori chose these two lovely Pink Paislee papers. (Gorgeous!) Once the paper was in the mail to the group (but before anyone received it), I chose this frazzled owl by Whimsy Stamps. Little did I know that Carole has a big aversion to birds, specifically owls. So, sorry Carole! But just for the record, if I could have found a way to make this owl’s head turn 360 degrees, I would have done that…JUST FOR YOU!!! 
It’s been lovely BUT…
I very often feel like screaming…like when my daughter insists on wearing half of last year’s Halloween costume to school. How about my kids’ incessant arguing, name-calling and tattling. I’m pretty sure I screamed about the education my children received from the graffitied walls of a Johnny Potty this weekend. 
Yeah. That was especially nice. Or how about when I realized that I glued the trim on this card wrong side up. Oh well. It is what it is.
Be sure to check out what Julie, Carole, Alli, Lori and Kim have done with this same image and paper. As always, I can’t WAIT to see! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Have a great day!

Ohhh, I love the big moon you created in the background Michele! So cute and colored to perfection!
LOL, we might all be creeped out if he spun his head all the way around! Gotta love that sentiment!
Great card Michele! Love the sentiment!
Super cute! The frazzled owl is cute! Poor Carole.
Totally adorable Michele! Love the sentiment you used too!
It truly looks like the papers and owl were meant to be together! Love this frazzled look!! And what a great sentiment!
So, so cute, Michele!! I love the sentiment too!! Yep…a keeper!!
This just made me giggle…urm not the bit about you glueing something upside down, …the image..honest
LOL…That is HILARIOUS!!
Too funny, Michele! This owl looks like I feel sometimes. Only cuter. The owl, that is.
OMG-that is too funny! Awesome coloring and that image with that sentiment is priceless! Love these papers too! Great card!
