HOUSE!! She cried

I am so going to struggle this month, my taggy friends. The themes for this month are great, I love them, only problem is, all the bits and pieces I would love to use for them are back in the UK! Ah well, I shall have to make do with what I have here at the cottage in France.

This week's BINGO theme wasn't too bad, as I had a few images in the little stash of printed images which I had brought with me -





The French call Bingo LOTO, which confused the heck out of me when I first came across it, lol, as lotto is something completely different where I come from. The background is a scan of an antique 19th Century French LOTO card. Can't remember where I got the TWO FAT LADIES from. I cut out LOTO from an old Larousse dictionary and I had two fake typewriter key 8s which I used for the BINGO call 88. Coloured a strip of paper green with a couple of different inks, and hand stamped TWO FAT LADIES on it with a little letter set I had in my stamp box.

Once again I want to thank you all for your wonderful comments on last week's tag. All your kind words mean so much to me, and make these weekly challenges even more fun.

  5. They say that necessity is the mother of creativity, and that's certainly the case in your tag. I love it! By the way, I can't feel sorry for you, because I've never been to Europe. :{ God willing, I'll be there someday. Blessings!

  10. This is such an awesome tag! I love the sayings. We don't have that in Canada so it is a unique cultural style that I have now been introduced to and I love it!
