It's week 4 already on the Craft Barn challenge. Is it only me that finds each year seems to disappear faster than the previous one?
This week's words to conquer are marriage and/or age. I have set myself an extra challenge throughout the duration of this challenge by making two postcards each week - one for a lyric and one for a quote. For my current lyric I have chosen Nina Simone's "Marriage is for old folks", a song that I wasn't familiar with until now.

For "age" I have used, in this centenary year, words from "For The Fallen" penned by Laurence Binyon in 1914 and a poem we are all familiar with as it is spoken at Remembrance Day services each year.

Those cats are soooo cute! Love how you created a scene with several stamps and stencil.
I went with 'For the fallen' as well. I like both your cards very much.
Both are beautiful but must say I love those cats on the wall! Chrisx
Two fabulous postcards, great choice of lyrics and quote.

Great postcards and quotes!

Wow Love both :)
I'm always impressed when someone makes TWO entries. I find it hard enough to make just one. These are both beautiful and the colors are SO vibrant.
Visiting from The Craft Barn--both cards are beautiful; the cats are just adorable!
Love both your quotes and postcards, beautifully put together. Love the cat postcard for the colours and the speech bubble, fab :-) xxx
hauntingly good quote,you have really done it justice,and love the cats.
