Twisted Sister "Humor" Challenge

I made this card for the Twisted Sisters Challenge at Split Coast Stampers.  TSC0524,  Sylvia challenged us to make a card with a humor theme.  I'm not good at making "funny" cards, so this is all I could come up with at the moment. 
My image was stamped with an unknown stamp that was borrowed.  I stamped this stamp many times because it is a favorite of mine.  Hubby, aka, Jim, colored the image for me with copics.

Inside of the card reads:
The most remarkable thing about my mother is that...
for 30 years she served Nothing but left overs.
The original meal has never been found.
~Calvin Trillin

I posted this card at Split coast, and as I said there, This card reminds me of my Mother-in-law.
What a fabulous cook she was.  She knew how to cook, and how to use left overs.  Very creative
with her cooking.  Her meals always tasted like they were from a fine restaurant. 

One of my mother-in-law's favorite hints was to take her left over vegetables, etc, and put them in a freezer container, in her freezer and keep adding to it.  After the container would be full, she would take it out of her freezer and put it in a big pot, and add some more broth, and make her famous Vegetable soup.  Of course, it would always taste different, but it would always be good.

One day, I read to my Mother-in-law an article from a woman's magazine how another lady also did the same thing.  However, that lady sent the tip to the magazine and received, I think, $100 for the idea...or maybe $50...but the point was she managed to get paid for that same exact hint, but she took the time to write it down and send it to the magazine.  After that, we called it my mother-in-law's $100.00 soup recipe,  (well, it could have been....LOL)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Blessings,
Jill

Anyone for golf?

No, I don't play golf, but my brother-in-law and sister-in-law do, so this card is going to go to them, hopefully, they have a sense of humor, (actually they do, they are a fun couple to be with) so I think they will like this card.  This card was stamped with a stamp from Art Impressions.  I have always enjoyed seeing cards with these cute images, and finally bought two at my last stamp show.  My husband colored the image with copics...YR18, Y18, B45, E34, R39, T1, BG05,E07, B18, R29, E71, C11, T6,E57, RV10, YR04
I made a frame around the image using Stampin'Up paper, and added stickles to their glasses.

How do you Stop a Charging Elephant?




In case you didn't know the answer...LOL My answer can be found below


Don't worry the card is not real...it's one of those fake ones that come in the mail advertisements LOL
Jake is a 13 year old boy who is having his 17th Surgery. Jake's Mother wanted Jake to receive some funny/Joke cards for him to read during his recovery. Doing this card was out of my comfort zone. I usually like to make frilly cards with flowers, lace, etc. But it was fun to make.
I just hope Jake likes it and it gives him a smile. Please add Jake to your prayers.
My image is a digi that I found in a magazine I recently purchased it gave permission to scan and duplicate for use. I made two copies of the digi and popped them up after coloring w/copics. I used come October afternoon designer paper for the background, added a brad and Wiggly eyes, and added a computer generated joke.

After I posted this card...which only took me five tries...I don't know why I had such a hard time doing this post...I realized I posted the wrong picture. If you want to see my card AFTER I added the wiggly eyes...I posted the link to my gallery at split coast...You can also see all the other great cards to this challenge there too.
