Age Challenge

The challenge over on Polkadoodles today is to make a card for any age. I used the brand new mini CD called Pretty Sweet - a collection of adorable little girls and some ravishing papers. I cut a figure 8 using Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and my Cricut at 4", then balanced her to sit on the figure using foam pads 

Promarkers used:

Hair cocoa, cinnamon, caramel and tan

Skin blush and soft peach

Sweater same as hair with a touch of burnt umber

skirt apple green and grass

 My favourite letter stickers by Making Memories came in useful....the paper was printed from the CD - and don't forget that Nikky mails FREE to anywhere in the world

After yesterday's post about two nations with the same, but oh so different language, I had a hilarious email from a regular reader here, who reminded me of another phrase that I had forgotten about. She agreed to let me share with you. Thanks Pat


Her brother in law was working in London, fresh from America, just getting used to the differences in the UK. He had a really rough day at work, and at the end of the day, his secretary said, in a sympathetic voice, 'never mind, keep your pecker up'


Now close those mouths, and wipe the coffee from your computer. It's what we say in the UK when we are telling someone 'chin up'


Ah yes, divided by a common language. Cheerio for now!
