Fun in the Pun

Fun in the Pun. See...already a little pun happening. Don't you just love the English language?! That we can rhyme, switch out words or change up punctuation to create a whole new (and possibly funny/punny) sentence, often makes me laugh out loud. Check this out:

Let's eat Grandma.

or

Let's eat, Grandma.

See what I did there?! One little comma and the whole thing changes! Gotta love it! Words are great!

I do have a couple of cards with plays/puns on words to share today. The first one is going off to play at CAS on Friday and the second one is headed into the AAA Cards challenge.


Use these colors ;-) 




My first card:


A simple belated birthday card. This is an NBUS EH set that I just couldn't resist. Those little cameras are adorable, aren't they?! I used the ink colors in CASoF's challenge and just added the little blings for that something extra. I found a scrap (can you believe it?!) that matched one of the ink colors perfectly and used that as a panel underneath my focal panel. EZPZ.

Next up:



I saw this YNS set around Christmastime last year and laughed and laughed. I knew I had to have it, and just waited for the right moment to ink it up. I did a little Copic coloring, and die cut the image. One red enamel dot and that silly sentiment helped to finish it off. A red scrap to bring out the color of the nose and done. Now I'm going to rush off. Time to help the DH a bit and then get a few things done. As always my friends...

  2. Ya nailed the CAS on FRiday color challenge Bev, and those bling bits so cute and "Flashy". Your Christmas card made me laugh, good thing I wasn't drinking when I looked at it...that might have made a mess.
    Love them both.

  3. Pretty colours on your first card especially with all the cameras, nice design but oh, oh... that second card is magnificent. I think I might have to see if I can find that stamp set here in the UK because I know someone who'd howl at that this Christmas, its absolutely brilliant Bev :) x
