LPoCF #256 Polkadoodles

 Hello all,

Well, we have been having another Antarctic blast, we made it to 2C earlier in the week, if you add in the feels like temperature, it has felt more like -8C over the last few days. Today we are enjoying some winter sun, if you can stay out of the wind, it's actually quite nice.

I recently overheard some tourists who were shocked to see an Aussie parent hand their under-school age child a 'baby chino' for context they were passing by a Cafe strip, I did not feel the need to correct their belief, curiosity though what people from other countries think a 'baby chino' is?

Today brings us to another all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who kindly gave our team two images to use, I have used an image called Jolly Santa to make two Christmas cards. Apologies for the photo quality, Winter is not the greatest time for photos.

p.s. Many thanks to my kind blogging friends and visitors who take the time to stop by and leave me a comment, I truly appreciate them all.

{For those who really want to know what a 'baby chino' is, it is usually the leftover heated milk/foam from making a real coffee, with a dusting of chocolate powder}

Thanks for telling us what a baby chino is. I have not heard of that before. Your cards are so pretty, especially the lavender one. I love the non-traditional Christmas colors.

Love how you have made two totally different cards using the same image - colour is so powerful in changing the 'look' of a card!
We are also cold, but not quite that cold!! - at least it will be sunny for most of this week - last week was wet and cold.
Blessings
