This card is for Lisa, aka Shoe Girl's VSN challenge;
"When I think of Happy Days I hear the song from the great TV show Happy Days that followed the Cunningham family through the 1950s with help and guidance from the lovable and almost superhuman greaser, Fonzie played by Henry Winkler.
So my challenge for you today is to create a 1950s themed card."
When I read this challenge I thought I can't really do this one I ave nothing that wold suit.
But then I thought, I was born in the 50's so what did I remember and I remember carefree happy days playing in the seven creeks within a days walk of our place. Playing cowboys and Indians in the apple orchards behind our place and rarely being inside, even when it rained or sometimes snowed.
So here is a card depicting my Happy Days in the 50's.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Marg

Marg,
So you are the one in the middle right? This is so wonderful! Reminds me to of my childhood, I have four brothers and I am right in the middle! I too was pulling my little brother around and watching over him! What a fun image and thank you for bringing back happy memories for me with this card!!
