ANOTHER TASTE OF MARMITE - YUK YUK OR YUM YUM???

Hello again blog friends - the last week has flown by and I still haven't completed everything I wanted to.  We did do some more gardening though and I have a photograph for you, just to show you the stand that Graham made to put the planters on.  We can see these from the kitchen window and we want to ensure there are trailing plants in there in summer.  The ground is really soggy at the moment so we've had to put some support under each leg of the stand.

This is going to be a lot easier for me as I can't bend too well and I can reach these.  There is a method in his madness - you see!!

Anyway - this is the card I am posting today, it was made earlier this year at the request of my friend.  A friend of hers was approaching a milestone birthday and as she is 'the life and soul of the party' type, it was felt a humerous card like this would really be appreciated.  I had to change the number of years on the sentiment because it actually said "It was a smiley face 50 years ago".

 

As I've said before, I know that, on one hand, many of you don't like these stamps, but on the other, many of you love them - hence the reference to marmite.   This one does make me smile though and I do know that it made the birthday girl giggle - alot!!!

 

Unfortunately this was made prior to me starting my blog and, although it was photographed, I didn't take notes of the paper/card I used.  I think you can see that there are a few Spellbinder dies there and I used some vintage ribbon, buttons and also Dew Drops from my stash.

 

I do hope that some of you like this one as much as I do.  Anything that makes me chuckle is OK by me. 

 

I had five requests for cards last week - but I didn't start any as I was having my week off - now I have to get down to it.  I'm making a 10 year Anniversary card for my next door neighbours to give to their friends.  I also have four 'special' Christmas cards to make for an ex-colleague who I worked with.  He has 18 year old twins - one girl and one boy so, whilst I am blogging, I thought I would ask my blog friends if they know of any funny/jokey/comedy type Christmas stamps that I can use on the card for his 18 year old son.

 

Any thoughts would be really welcome, I don't mind what type of stamp ie solid or digi.

 

I had a look for some challenges yesterday and I would like to enter my card into the following -
