Nursery Time And Toe Nails

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Wendy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Different Folds Or shaped Cards'
Here is what I did, I used the new images from Nicecrane, which can be found here and decided to do a trifold card, i used a tutorial for it from our lovely Brenda's blog which you can find here.
And as always made my own flowers using dies, and to finish the vintage look I added lace.

DO YOU WANT A GIGGLE?
So I was making this card and my little boy Bobby, who is 8 said " that's sick Mam, like that, it's different to your other cards", I'm assuming he was talking about the folds.  He then added "Errrrrrr don't like that woman picking that girls toe nails though".
Well I howled with laughter, I had to explain that she was playing this little piggy went to market.  Oh kids they are so innocent, then they grow up.  Don't you wish you could keep them that young forever?
