Hi there! At the Double D Challenge today Diane is asking to see our creations which evoke a grin, a giggle, a chuckle, a chortle, a smile, a snicker... we could all use a good laugh any day of the week.
Here's a little bit of inspiration...
... and a prize for a random winner:
The team votes for creative winners. There's always more information on the challenge blog.

Although I found I have quite a few stamps that would fall into the humorous category I immediately thought of this old woodblock stamp called Happy Couple. It's seen a fair amount of ink in its day and still going strong. The sentiment is from Rubbernecker.
The inside sentiment is "Happy new year". I rarely send new year's cards because I've generally just finished making and mailing 60-80 Christmas cards, but in 2027 I'll be mailing at least one new year's greeting.
I brought in stars and streamers and paper that brings to mind fireworks and late night partying -- all oldies from the toybox, save for the Waffle Flower Dreamy Frame which is fresh from the not-yet-used basket. The picture below shows the shimmer and glitter from Wink of Stella and Stickles glitter glue. In real life the effect is somewhere between the first picture and the second.
Come have a good time with us at Double D! The team is sharing cards that are sure to bring forth a hee-haw, a whoop, a guffaw, or a titter. Let's fill the gallery with laughter!
Have a happy day!

LOL! An oldie but a goodie! The black and white makes a statement on that fun background paper.
I think the neighbors heard me chuckle when I read your sentiment. I'm still smiling. The background paper dreamy along with swirls card stock and your image. But that sent is the best
Cute card. Love the ribbon thingies. Love the sentiment. I think I’ve tried tequila once… not my thing. Have a great day
What a clever idea and yes the sentiment brought a chuckle! Great idea and beautifully crafted!!
Ooops I think my 1st comment should have gone on Darlene's Post--maybe too much tequila for me lol Anyways I think your people are very sophisticated and look just marvy! And still YUM for the tequila! (delete my other comment please) hahahaha
I had a great chuckle at this fun card, what a fabulous woodblock stamp, aren't you glad you didn't purge it like so many do with their woodblocks, I have a couple stamps in this series myself and so fun to see another one, it is greatly designed too!!
So cute. I really struggle to find images good for New Years Day. Love all the different elements you brought into this one.
How cute is this? And might be true Darling card Leslie ❤️
Just perfect, Leslie!! I love it all. I like the inspiration board, too. :-)
