I'd like to introduce everyone out there in blog-land to Mr. Shrinky Shep. I can just hear him now...."Um, I think wifey must have thrown my clothes in the dryer on high setting!" Then wifey turns around and says, "You old fool, you're just getting a little chubby!" LOL! No matter how you look at it though...Either the clothes are shrinking or Shep is packing on the pounds. And as that sentiment says.....In Roman numerals, 40 is XL!
This ADORABLE image is from the fabulous Marlene Shaw whose blog is called Disguised As A Grownup. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure and check it out. And now for some wonderful news!!! Flash!!! Marlene is joining Dude Time Doodles as one of the artists!!! Yep, you heard right. Head over to DTD and check out the interview with Marlene and Lou and read all about it!
I even drug out my sewing machine and stitched around some of that My Minds Eye patterned paper for the occasion. The sentiment is from TLC. And of course, I had to add a little Baker's Twine to that clear button.
I'll be entering this is the challenge at Catch the Bug Blog and Paper Creators Crafts - both have masculine themes this week.
Be sure and head over to Dude Time Doodles to read all about Marlene..
Thanks for stopping by...............

Another fun card Lynn! Very clever sentiment too... sad but true as well!
This is too cute, Lynn! Love that sentiment...heehee! Great choice for paper and accents for the image, too. The stitching is so perfect for the little guy who is already "busting at the seams", too. Have a great day! We finally got some rain here last night! Whoo hoo! :)
Oh my Shep still looks mighty handsome even if the suit is a little small. Great card and the sentiment is fabulous!
this image and sentiment are such a hoot-I really like the sewing you did on this card
Love that sentiment with this image! Great job with the stitching.

Fantastic card, Lynn! Love the sentiment -- so perfect with this image. Great plaid paper -- love it combined with that red striped tie! One of these days, I will try sewing on my cards with my machine. You give me the incentive to try!
This is really cute. Too funny. I love that little guy. TFS
Lynn, fabulous! Very funny :-) Your stitching is perfect - as is your choice of DSP. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face

This is hilarious, although so true! I love the plaid dp and stitching, and I'm already a huge fan of Marlene's! Gotta visit her blog daily to get my chuckles :)
Love the sentiment Lynn,and the stitching looks great. Love the colours and I love my buttons too on cards. :)
LOL...PERFECT sentiment with Shrinky Shep! Thanks so much for creating with my image. Looks fantastic!
How funny! It's crazy how quick the pounds add up and you don't realize it until your clothes remind you. :) I like the stitching. I need to drag my machine out and give it a try.
He looks fabulous and that sentiment goes perfectl with him. Love those papers too.
I had not noticed that, Lynn, but appreciate your pointing it out!! How funny!!
This is just tooo cute, Lynn...poor old Shep needs a new wardrobe...LOL!!! Musta been the wife cause he couldn't have eaten that much!!! I love the plaid paper in the background and how you angled the sentiment...your stitching looks awesome, too!!!
LOL Love the card Lynn!! Thanks for the continued support even though I have been gone from Blog Land...your comments always make my heart smile.
PS
Loving the new look of your blog.

Lynn, this is such a fun card. I can understand how Mr. Shrinky Shep feels as I believe that clothes can shrink by merely hanging in the closet.
I just love your funny cards, they just give me the giggles. Love the sentiment!!! Look at that stitching, way to go, still have not broken out the old machine yet.
Hilarious!! Lynn, this is just as funny as all get up - what a wonderful card, and sadly, haven't noticed that but probably should have, lol. NIce colors you've used here!
brilliant card yet another brilliant humerous card best wishes Lesley x
This is so funny. I literally laughed out loud! I love the stitching - something I haven't tried yet because it would involve buying and learning how to use a sewing machine. Too intimidating.

Doh! Too funny, great card!
Lovely card, thank you so much for joining us over at Paper Creator's Crafts.
