This title I think you could say says it all about me. I try to act normal as little as possible. I enjoy entertaining others, humour and try to never take myself seriously. Lucky for me Elysha and Dale and Jessie have all inherited this same characteristic so it makes life easier. I have a couple of children who are more serious, they have a good sense of humour but don't always see the funny side of things so we have to be careful how far we go when joking. We never joke or laugh at the expense of others but we do enjoy a practical joke or two. My expertise is more being able to see the funny side to most circumstances and keeping things lite so unhappiness can pass quicker. I use this 'talent to get Elysha out of her misunderstanding funks that are mostly due to her not understanding properly what someone has said and I have also found it particularly helpful in dealing with issues that arise from mum and dads dementia/Alzheimers. Enough on that,
Now just check out this card
I love what I have achieved here. There is a challenge and this week it is 'Selfies', I had an idea and started with that. I love this new stamp set from 'The Ton'. they have to be the cutest pandas I have seen. My first card I did the pandas rolling around on the ground laughing, but I did two of the larger polaroid frames and did some lop sided photos but didnt feel it worked.
So I started again, did my laughing pandas with very red cheeks but this time I used the smallest polaroid frames out of copic cardstock. Then stamped the 'selfies' and coloured.
After placing everything where I wanted it, I drew in some grass and stamped this sentiment.
Its finished and I'm very happy.
Challenges :
Make a Polaroid Scene is the actual title so I might have missed the mark here. Please let me know if I have and I will remove. Shopping my stash: Polaroid dies that have sat for a long time not being loved, sentiment that hasn't seen the light of day for a long time. Stamps are new but never used before.
Stamping + Die-cuts + Fussy Cutting

Hello Aileen and thank you for playing along with us at Shopping Our Stash with this super fun and adorable card.
I agree with everything you said about keeping a good sense of humor in certain situations, I don't dwell in unpleasantness, like you said, keeping things on the light side makes the "ugly" pass quickly.
