Today sees us in the Eternal City, seeped in history where gladiators once fought to the death something Russel Crow knows a bit about. A few pennies into the famous fountain above will make sure you return, or so the saying goes.Despite visiting this City many times there is always something new to see and I never tire or returning be it for a week or a day. It really is my favourite Capital City in the World.
On to challenges now, first Polkadoodles where the boss Nikky has set our challenge and wants us to make something generic that will work for a male or female. She also wants us to use at least two Polkadoodle products on our project.
So I have made a word book spelling BIRTHDAY which I created on the Cricut using the DS and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. I selected coordinating papers from Candy Doodles CD.........I just love this lime and black combo. I stamped the ladybird trail from the unmounted stamp set several times, cut into strips and ran them across the bottom of each page.
Next candy clue is tomorrow...........half way there now.
The greeting on the front is from the new Paper Boutique Christmas CD, I used the Zutter to create a spine and tied it with cord and raffia.........I am really pleased with myself as I just knew this lovely lime coloured raffia from the wrapping on some flowers months ago would come in useful one day.
Next candy clue is tomorrow...........half way there now.

Owww Brenda ... I so agree with you, I've visited Rome myself many times too and I never get bored, there is always something new to see and you must always go visit the fountain to drop your coin for your wishes :) Enjoy your holiday xx
You are in Rome and it is one place I have been. It was fun to see people dressing up as gladiators charging you to have a photo taken with them, then standing there having a fag!!
Then of course the amazing swarms of starlings at the Termini that move as one. I'm sorry I'm going on a bit. Hope you are having fun.
