for my card i have used the sweet image...
""A Lick of Paint""
i have tried to make him look as if he
is painting the green above the picture rail,
also added a strip along the bottom for skirting board,
made a little car picture Memory box die-
which i did get for George :) and used the lovely
clear tags,words and sentiments set.
