SDC39: Humorous Birthday

We had a phenomenal turnout for Kaz' black, white and a hint of color. There were so many favorites in the group, love the variety of colors used. Kaz' favorites were:

19. Lilith - I love the shade of green and the banner makes it very striking.

32. Vicky - the splash of red really makes Miss Snotty pop from the card.

22. Fiona - this one is so much fun, and the hint of colour really is just a hint!

Hi, Vicki here! Since today is my Birthday, I'm excited about sharing a Birthday Challenge with you......you must send me all your cards~ (Just kidding! lol) anyway, at my age, in order to deal with deteriorating gravity, laugh lines and achy joints, humour has become a fabulous coping mechanism!!!

So here's the challenge: create a humorous Birthday Greeting! Something Funny, Sarcastic........perhaps an image that will evoke a giggle or a good belly laugh, which I particularly enjoy! What is even funnier (to me) is that it's Challenge#39......hehe.......I have some pals that have been 39 for quite some time! If the truth be known, in my experience, life begins at 40!

I can't wait to see what you create!!! Don't forget that one lucky player will win some Stampotique Bucks! This is a Stampotique only week so please remember to use those Stampotique stamps on your creations

From all of us on the design team-Happy Birthday Vicki!

And now to share group 2's creations for the humorous birthday creation theme:
