The next card is for a little boy who wants to be a pirate when he grows up....I haven't gone mad with the spelling - *ahoy* is *ahoi* in German! The background paper is cut from a 12x12" sheet, and the boy and the bird have been fussy cut and decoupaged.
The next two cards have been made with free downloads from CÜP. I printed them out onto glossy paper, and then cut out all those little squares and stacked them neatly I think the card looks quite nice, and was quick and easy to make, I just added the bow made of seam-binding and the glass leaves.
This one has poppies on it again, and was fast and easy to make. I think this is one way to get a quick card when time is short and ideas are dwindling....
And I have another of Narda's jokes for you:
TODAY'S SMILE!
My daughter's third-grade teacher had assigned the
children
To write a story titled "My Biggest Surprise."
To write a story titled "My Biggest Surprise."
Not until the end of the school year did we see
Marina's
Work. It read: "I got up this morning and I ran into Mommy
And Daddy's bed and hopped in. But it wasn't Mommy at all.
It was Mrs. Del Campo!"

It was Mrs. Del Campo!"
What her essay neglected to say was that we had called
Mrs.
Del Campo late at night to stay with our children while I
Took my wife to the hospital to have our third child.
