I flipped today's sketch upside down to accommodate this fun old fart from Whimsy. I wanted to put his funny sayings in speech bubbles. And isn't this vintage phone DP so perfect to pair with him? We were watching a show the other night where someone dialed on of these old phones and my kids were blown away. Desmond said "I don't even know how to dial that". I told him I barely know how.

Omigosh....I think I live with that old fart. LOL. We are always saying things like that as a joke with the kids. Favorite COVID joke: When my grandkids ask how I handled the toilet paper crisis of 2020, I am going to tell them I had to drag my butt across the grass...uphill...both ways.
Love the expression on old guy and I love that dp paper -- perfect for this old grump.

He's a fun "old bird" with his comments. The dp is perfect with the rotary phones. Great job!

This is just too funny, Jen! The really funny thing is, we had one of those old rotary phones hanging in our kitchen until just a few years ago when we dropped our land line! I think I might still have it in the basement...that thing is an antique for sure!

This is hilarious! I love that background paper, I agree, it is perfect with your grumpy old man. Funny thing is, both of my girls want old fashioned rotary style phones! Very fun card.

I must admit i'm one of those who hate cell phones, I barely use mine, just to send an sms or if someone calls me, I never use my phone for pictures or internet, when my kids come for dinner they know their phones stay in their pockets, I hate to see them all head down on their phones and forget to chat with us...but your card is so pretty and funny!!

Love your dsp background...so perfect for this card! The old geezer reminds me of my husband and his comments about his day back on the farm! I have to remind him...time are a changing!
