I needed a simple birthday card and found this cut on the Martha Stewart holiday cake cartridge, it was meant to be a very quick card, but then I started to mess around with it and decided I liked the negative space more than the cut, so I backed that in black - oh yes, and it needed a couple of balloons too, and they needed a coat of glossy accents....
and after a lot of faffing about, here is my very quick card that took ages to make!
Our little grandson Max is six now, and his vocabulary is growing every day, his language is really quite expressive. His Daddy took him out for breakfast the other day as a treat, and Max ordered pancakes (he got to love them on an American holiday). One of them was very brown on the underside, not burnt, just brown. So the waiter came and asked if everything was alright. 'Lovely thank you' said my son. 'I don't like this pancake' announced the six year old gourmet 'it's a disgrace'
Disgrace! Where did he pick that up! He is off on a three week holiday to California soon, he may shatter a few American conceptions of ultra polite British kids if he goes around doing his food critic act over there :)
See you tomorrow x
ROFL - that's kids for you!

Hi Enfys, love your card and I think that Max is right, pancakes should be golden not brown! lol
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.

Very cute card! I have always loved the posts about something Max said. He's such an intelligent child. I'm sure he's like a sponge...lol There are some kids I've known here who've said things that would curl your ears! And no I can't share any on the computer. lol TFS

Great card. Good for guys or gals. Your little Max sounds like a hoot. I love the honesty.
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable card. Very festive, just as a Birthday card should be. I really like the whimsical lettering on it.
ReplyDeleteOh My ... I am sure that Max's comment came as a bit of a shock to his Daddy (although I personally would have been hard pressed to refrain from laughter). He has become quite the little food critic, hasn't he (so funny).
I have no doubt that being told that the food is a "disgrace" would come as a bit of a shock here in America too, especially by one so young. However, if the word got back to the manager or chef, they would very likely reward him with a new, or even free, meal. I'll have to give that a try sometime ... but of course, I would truly need to be served a meal that was an actual "disgrace". *wink*
