If it's Friday, it must be Polkadoodles

Friday again! This week on Polkadoodles, it was my turn to set the challenge, and I chose dimension and texture - easy peasy. The only stipulation is that you use the FREE download over there for your creation. I didn't use it on my card as I was a bit organised for once and made this at the beginning of the week, but take it from me, it's a gorgeous download, and will be perfect for your Father's Day cards

I used papers from the Love and Cherish CD, and fussy cut around one of the rose stems on the paper.

Adding texture is so easy with the cuttlebug - and my sewing machine of course...
and the rose flower was cut out three times and popped on with foam pads for dimension

I had quite a productive day yesterday at my craft group thursday - look out for some more Preserve cards, and I have been working with the new Summer in Paris cartridge as well. The place where we meet is called an Enrichment Centre
in the grounds of a local hospital. The nearest thing we have in the UK is probably our village halls. I think these centres are meant for 'seniors' a nice politically correct way of saying folk who are getting a bit long in the tooth. I may be wrong on that, but certainly most of the people using it are a bit senior (sadly including myself in this observation). This includes the tap dancing group who were there this afternoon, you have never heard such a din in your life. It sounded as though someone had given a herd of baby elephants some tap shoes. I was dying to take a look, but decided I better not, if they looked as bad as they sounded I might have found it difficult to walk away without that tell-tale-shoulders-shaking-with-mirth thing, and I might have upset someone. I may take a peek next week...............
