Beary sweet.....

I found this little acrylic stamp set on sale, I stamped her onto white card, and rounded the edges, then I stamped her again and cut out just her hat, so that it stands above the base card. The papers are by My Minds Eye, and the sentiment button is from Craftwork Cards

I really like using pink and brown together, it's always a lovely combination for any card

Promarkers used:

Bear - sandstone and vanilla and tan

clothes and accents - blossom pink, pale pink and cocktail pink

Punch - lattice arch Martha Stewart

When I went for a coffee yesterday I sat at a table with a very elderly man, and a woman who told me she was his carer. It turned out that he was 93, had alzheimers and was from Poland. He was just lovely, with the kindest blue eyes you ever saw, and although he was very confused about the here and now, he told me in his broken English how he had escaped from the enemy during the war, he remembered it all..............his face was pensive with remembrance and his eyes clouded with memory as he gazed into the past, telling me about climbing a mountain as he escaped, he was shot in his leg, lying there until the British soldiers came along and rescued him. He has lived in England ever since then, and has been married to an English woman for sixty years. As he left, he leaned over and gave me a kiss on my cheek, and I found the whole experience very moving, his memories of sixty five years ago clear and sharp in his mind as if it were yesterday, and yet, yesterday was but a blur. Yet because of him, and tens of thousands like him, I had the freedom to sit in the sunshine enjoying my coffee.....

See you tomorrow
