This card is for a challenge I do with my CCEE friends on SCS .... this week our challenge was to create a card inspired by your favorite TV commercial or if we didn't have a favorite one by any TV commercial. Most of the TV I watch ... I pre - record using my IQ (Australia's version of TVO) so when commercials are on I just fast forward so I don't get to watch many commercials these days ;)
This card is inspired by a classic Australian commercial ..... for a fly spray called Mortein .... the main character in this commercial is a fly named Louie .... there have been various different commercials through the years all about Louie.
While I was doing some research yesterday looking for the words for this commercial I came across the particular commercial on You Tube .... if you would like to see the commercial that inspired my card you will find it here.
As this card was inspired by a TV commercial I couldn't resist using my large TV for my images ... it seemed a perfect time to use that stamp.

Totally amazing. What a funny commericial that is! I love it....You pretty much have any stamp you need at your fingertips.....you just have to go through the semi-truck trailer parked in you back yard to find it!

OMG, Frances! You never cease to amaze me with your endless supply of stamps! I suppose for someone who has been stamping as long as you have that you probably do have a semi truck parked in your yard. This is so funny! I love your layout on this. So cute!
