Barbara, this is a fabulous card! I love the layout. I see you managed to sneak those polka dots onto the card for Cindy. It is a good thing that Miss Rose is along. We'll have to use her to distract the guards so we can sneak out. We know we can't use Cathy to distract them. The polar bear costume didn't work the first time. Who knew that the gold chain was real and that they had motion sensors in the garden? I am so glad that you have been coming to the parties.

Well Miss Rose is sure coming to the castle in style! Love the polka dress and fab hat! She'll do just fine with the Queen! It looks like Rose could be naughty if she put her mind to it, but today she is on her best behavior! Lucky thing, too, because some of the partygoers have managed to get rowdy even though Cindy gave explicit instructions to stay in line this week! Great card! Glad you've been making it to the tea parties!

We better watch out for Miss Rose... she might be trying to distract Prince Charles while the other ladies are swiping all the jewels in the Castle!! You have to watch out for these over the top ladies... they can be a fox in sheep's clothing!
Lovely card Mommy! You did a really nice job with the polka dot dress! Love you!

Yeah, what happened to my explicit instructions? Snort!
Hi Barbara! Wow, you look great and your buddy Rose is smashing (that's my best *English* word!) What? Oh no, you're kidding! Oh man! Okay, well, follow me! I think I have a needle and thread in my purse. Can Rose try to sorta suck in her butt a little while I get this needle and thread working? Man, that is quite a split, this is gonna be embarrassing for her especially with all the handsome guards standing around!
Go find Sabrina, she'll tackle another quard and steel his clothes! Yeah, that'll work! Rose will look good in uniform!
I love your card! I love it a gazillion times over! She's cute. Thanks for the kinds words and thanks for coming again. Don't worry we will take care of the whole Rose fiasco! Snort!

What a cute image and those polka dots are sure to steal Cindy's eyes.
The tightness of the dress has already stolen the attention of the guards and they like that split in it just fine.

Very chic and stylish, and of course those long gloves and hat are a must. Better tell Miss Rose to breathe in before she bows - or curtsies - we don't want her splitting that gorgeous dress.

Barbara, Barbara, Barbara.....I am so disappointed that you believed MariLynn about Bertie stealing the Queen's necklace without getting my side of the story first. I know MariLynn looks all sweet and innocent, but she's got this wee little problem with embellishing her stories before she gets the facts. Yup. It's true. Honest!
Bertie did NOT steal that necklace. The Queen GAVE it to her! Yup. It's true. Honest! It seeems that Bertie's got some English ancestry/nobility in her blood, so that The Queen wanted her to have a special gift of remembrance for her trip to the castle.
Now that I have set you right on that situation, let's address Miss Rose here. She is really stylin' in her Pretty Woman dress and hat. She's right up there with the haute coutre styles that Princess Di established during her reign. She's so fine lookin' that she's keepin' those guards attention on her rather than the rest of the rowdy party goers. What a beautimous tribute card to Mothermark's anniversary party!
Oh yeah, just a bit of advice about da Muddermark: never, never let her near anyone you care about with a needle and thread. End of story.

I agree with Charlene,don`t let Mothermark near Rose with a needle and thread!

Oh my ladies do I know about this needle and thread stuff...Please let me know....I want to be in with the IN crowd. You ladies have been just wonderful and so sweet...I hope to never miss a tea party.\
One more thing...do we need a trial by jury for Miss Bertie???
did she or didn't she. Well, we heard her side and Marilynn now who is telling the truth??
