Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge, or 'What does that say?'

This is my last entry for this month's PTI Blog Hop (or probably my first, if you are reading this blog from top to bottom. This month PTI has challenged us to design using black backgrounds, and you can find PTI's post here. 


I stepped out of my comfort zone, and discovered that I can't spell in 'Rebus'. By using Tim Holtz's 'Vintage Market' alphabet die, and PTI's 'Strawberry Patch', 'In the Meadow' and 'Wonderful Words: Holiday' dies, I could tell the recipient 'You are very dear to me'. My adorable (but artistically challenged) husband took one look at it, and said "You are strawberry mousse to me?". When I finally stopped laughing, I told him that he was very funny, or very hungry. Not knowing when to stop, I then asked my artsy friend what she thought it said (thinking it would be perfectly obvious to a woman), and again' strawberry mousse' won. What did you think it said the first time you looked? Leave a comment, and I promise not to laugh.

All supplies are Papertrey's except for the alphabet die cuts in white.

    I thought...You are strawberry reindeer to me...but then progressed to just "You are berry deer to me"! LOVE IT! Love that it made me think!!! And I am laughing out loud which is always fun! A great, great card!!!! Can we all have some strawberry mousse now? I am suddenly hungry!!! Just teasing! :)

    Haha! I thought of 'Berry deer' at first, then i got it! Although if I was strawberry mousse to someone, I wouldn't mind too much! ;-)

    What a fun card. It took me a bit to 'connect' the dots ... very clever play on words/images. But I do like your husband's version too! Now I'm going to check for a 'strawberry mousse recipe!!Hehehe.

    I must admit that I first did the strawberry thing, but quickly moved to berry and got deer right away. How fun to share your fun with us. Thanks-
