I will admit I'm not a fan of April Fools. I think it's kind of weird to play tricks on people you "claim" to like. (Yes, I've been tricked way too many times. So, I'm not a fan.) And then I see the prompt to make a funny card for Jingle Belles this week and I thought I was doomed. I don't know how to make funny cards. I really don't. Jingle Belles, Batman Smells? Are these girls pulling my chain? Seriously?! I think they hate me.
I started thinking of what I could possibly do and I tossed an idea at my good pal, Leslie (The Crooked Stamper) and she thought it might work. Might even be humorous. So, here's my feeble attempt at humor and Christmas.
It's a bit, okay, a LOT on the silly side. What can I say? I own ZERO funny stamps so I just made something up as I went along. I actually decapitated a Santa to put that hat on Rocky I'll have you know! ;) Please note that instead of saying "Yo, Adrian" he is saying "Ho, Ho! Adrian". I thought that was quite clever of me. And I replaced his title belt with a belt made out of Hodge Podge hardware, glitter & a sentiment. 'Cause that's how *I* roll. Oh yeah!!
(* edit - I forgot to mention that MY Rocky is sporting some shimmer body paint, but because I can't take a picture worth a beans you can't see it. Trust me, it's there. And, it's fuuuuuuny! )
(*edit again... Oh, the heck with it! Here's a close up of his shimmery bod. :D )
Anyway, hope it makes you giggle, at least a little. :)

I'm thinking lots of people would love seeing this guy show up in their mailbox at Christmas ... way to go pushing your boundaries and pulling out all of the stops ... I would have to say ... you rocked it ... particularly with the hodge podge belt buckle ... thanks for joining our jingle belles fun.

Oh my gosh Lisa, this is hysterical!! You totally rocked this challenge! I will never be able to watch Rocky again without thinking "Ho Ho Adrian", ROFL!
BWHAHAHAAAA!!! I love this card...hysterical! The HO HO is especially funny! The belt buckle is awesome!
I'm pretty much thinking that I will totally have to CASE this for my husband for Christmas! He enjoys Rocky movies immensely, and walks around doing the "Yo, Adrian!" thing for days after he sees one, so I'm pretty sure he'd get it... Clever girl, you are, you are!
