Mark is off to Jacksonville on Monday, for work purposes and also to have a good nose round our new city. He is going to check out schools and areas to live, and meet his new colleagues in the US Navy.
A British colleague put him in contact with an American family who live in the area we want to, and whose children go to the schools we are interested in. They got in touch, and invited him to a birthday meal while he is here, so I thought I would make a card for him to take with him. Monica comes from Chile originally, so I got my Google out (!!!) and found a couple of Spanish phrases to put inside her card...
I used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl, and would like to enter this for their latest challenge. I decided when I saw the sketch, that I would do something a bit different, and made the front part of the card a triangle.
Here is the inside of the card. A quick translation - "Dear Monica, Happy birthday, Hope you have a great day". Unfortunately without Google, my Spanish is limited to Dora the Explorer...
I used Bella Bunting on my card, coloured in with ProMarkers. The papers come from the PaperMania Summer Bloom set.
Now I hope that a) Mark remembers to pack the card, b) he remembers to take it to the meal, and c) that she likes it!!
Off to work now, TTFN

What a GREAT card! Good for you using Google - I'll have to remember that next time...
Have a great weekend!
just found you via two peas board and saw you were in Jacksonville via the CKC post. I don't frequent the boards too much but I do scrapbook a lot and thought I'd offer to meet up. Which base is your husband stationed at? I'm in Fleming Island (just south of NAS Jax) past Orange Park.
