First another Loralie card, love these golfers. I got the wide ric-rac on sale at Jo-anns, this is the first time I've used it, and now that I have, I wish I had bought more. The black and white check paper is by Making Memories.
The second card today is one I made for a challenge blog last week, where they were asking for a tag or label on the card, I think it might have been Allsorts challenge. Anyway, by the time I had made it, time had run out and it was time for the next challenge.I made a base card from Kraft cardstock, and used a rather strange woodgrain rub-on that I got from Tuesday morning to make a background. The paw stamp and the image is by Great Impressions, coloured with copic markers. The script is a hero arts stamp that I stamped in coffee versamark ink onto coffee cardstock, and I stamped the same stamp onto some white prima flowers
Some of you suggested that I posted a photo of my new hairdo. Are you crazy? At the moment I am only venturing out after dark, and even then I have a brown paper bag over my head

We have been invited to a lunchtime birthday party for a friend, in July - when we will be back in England. The dress code is 'The 1940's'. I am stumped and in need of EASY fancy dress ideas. The only thing I have thought of is to wear khaki trousers and shirt (which I don't possess), tie a headscarf around my head (which would solve another pressing problem), and go as a Land Army gal. Now you also have to consider Mike, who is quite, ermm............rotund I think is a nice word. No, he doesn't have a double breasted suit with a waistcoat, so I think Winston Churchill is out of the question. You have my permission to come up with ideas that will make us both look quite ridiculous if that makes you happy..............
What a gorgeous cards Enfys,i love your images and the colours.

Oh En, you might be sorry you've extended the permission to make you look silly! lol
ReplyDeleteI love your cards. Very cute ladies.
I really have no idea what the 40's look like in England...Is it the same as here? short skirts, because there was a fabric shortage. That's what my mom said. I'll have a look through mum's old pix and see what I can find. I remember the shoes though, clunky and open toed heals. Or Saddle shoes! And Mike, I'll have to think on it. How about a military uniform? You might find something in a second had clothes shop. Well good luck. I'll keep thinking about it.
Have a great day!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [03 Jun 02:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
ReplyDeleteOh Dear what a quandry, not sure what to surgest, but Im sure you will think of something eventually. I love your lady she looks a bit like me, a rather rotund looking person. Fabulous embellishments to. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteEnfys... both cards are marvelous,
ReplyDeletebut the second is my fav :D
Hugs Anja
The little animals are precious. Thanks for sharing the cute cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are just great! I really love that tag. The sentiment is just adorable and that stamp is just to to cute! So now you're brown bagging it huh?! I'm sorry I can't help you with the costume ideas. Can't wait to see what others come up with though!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cards!
ReplyDeleteNow for the 40's party. What I think of when I hear 40's is a narrow skirt with a pleat in the back and a jacket witha peplum (I think that's how it is spelled)and of course you would need a hat, gloves and a clutch purse. Now if you want to be more casual, I think you would need to wear something like this http://mysterycreature.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/1940s-denim-trousers.jpg now where you get these things, I have no idea. Maybe Etsy as they carry vintage clothes there, but you may end up spending a lot for just one party.
Have fun!
You always inspire and instruct and amuse me, Enfys. Reading your blog gives my day a bright start! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe idea that flashed through my mind when you described your DH was Laurel and Hardy, but I can't remember whether they were 40's or 50's! Thanks again, Christine.
Cute story as always along with the card and tag, love both of them! I think you should go as Ozzie and Harriet and you have to wear and apron because I think that was part of the women's everyday apparel in the 40's LOL! Can't wait for the story once you go! It will probably be hilarious!

BOTH of these are AMAZING!!
