The Paper Smooches Sparks challenge this week is to be inspired by these bright, fun prints. I was drawn to the pink, yellow and brown stripes so I cut a bunch of thin strips of cardstock to make my own striped background. The yellow and brown made me think of the giraffe from Zoo Crew and the colours seem perfect for a party. The giraffe even dressed up her horns with some pink bling! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Um, wow! I can't believe you were able to get that entire panel of thin cs strips adhered so perfectly. Mine would have wandered off on a slant for sure. So perfect for that cute giraffe!
Oh Yeah this is totally adorable Jen! So so cute!
Wow, I am amazed at that striped background. I love it and the giraffe certainly pops of the stripes. However, that background really is the star, in my mind. Can't believe you made it! Hope you have a great week!
That is a great connection - between the colours and stripes and the giraffe - love the background - you're much better at cutting equally sized strips than I am! Cute card!
So cute Jen and fabulous background - you must have oodles of patience :)
Stinkin' cute, Jen! Who even thinks to make their own striped background paper?! Wow!
Wow, I'm totally in awe that you got that awesome background so straight! This is awesome and I love that giraffe with teh stripes!
only you would make your very own patterned paper even when you have a stack of it ... skype this weekend?
This is so cute. I love how you made your own striped paper--your lines are perfect. That giraffe is so cute--the bling is just the best accessory for her.
Are you kidding me? You made this background? Shut the front door! Love it! That's party paper if I've every seen it. What a fun card. Thanks for playing along with the Sparks challenge.
Love the bling on the horns, it's fantastic Jen!! Oh and how superb is the bg, this is yet another amazing card!
I love your card - that background is amazing and your giraffe is super-cute:) Hugs x x
Loving the striped background - I can't believe your paper cutter will trim evenly for those teeny pieces! Totally worth the fiddling for the final look :) And that giraffe...I need it. I'm waiting to order it until I can make my cart have less than 10 sets in it, lol.
stinkin' cute...I love it and love your home made patterned paper!!!!!!!
You are just brilliant at capturing a mood Jen - this card shrieks 'party'! What a cleverly made background! Vicky x
Eek! Major love! I cannot believe this isn't patterned paper. That is unreal! I love the little bling on the horns. :)
You must have a very steady hand, girlfriend! Can't believe that you created this striped background - WOW! It is the perfect setting for this sweet girlie giraffe (I just ordered this cute set!). Love every inch of it!
How fun is this?! What a cute card.
