Here's what I did with some cupcake downloads from our monthly sponsor Prairie Fairy. I reduced the size of the cakes (well, it's not like I can eat them) so that they would fit on the cake stand. I kept the card pretty simple as I didn't want to overshadow the image, so I used Copics for colouring, loads of Glamour Dust and some Glossy Accents on the cakes. The DP is Pink Petticoat and the flowers are, of course, from Wild Orchid Crafts. The doily (appropriate, huh?) was from Joanna Sheen and is a lovely size to use on 6"x6" cards.
Apols for the dodgy photo - I just couldn't get a decent piccie I'm afraid.
Will try to be back with another card later this weekend. We're off on a hedgerow/bug hunting thing this morning (please let it be dry and not too cold) for part of a project the Boy Wonder has to do for school.
Can I leave you with this classic from one of my classes this week? Picture the scene... we're talking about countries in Europe, trying to identify them on a map and lots of kids find this really hard, even at high school.
Me: "I wonder whether anyone knows what this country is?" (points to place on map)
Lots of random guessing, with answers ranging from Ghana to Belfast...
Child 1: "Miss, would that be Austria?"
And just as I'm about to say "Well done"
Child 2: "Austria? Is that no a bird?"
Me: "No, dear, that's an ostrich."
Bless. I love my job.
Hugs,
Tracey xx
