Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 48 Argentina

Xui and Roland Poland have jetted off to Buenos Aires for upcoming trade talks.  Roland is fascinated with the tango competition to be held at the hotel, which he intends to enter IF ONLY he had the right partner.

He writes to his brother Malcolm,

Hi Malcolm,
I've met up with Carmen, the most beautiful pug, 
who is now my dancing partner.  She has dreamy
pools for eyes and, Malcolm, when I hold her
in my paws, I could dance all night.

Clearly, the boy has got it bad.  Here are the pages in his travel book.

Argentina is such a diverse country, the Pampas to the north and the mountains of the Andes to  the west and south.  Gauchos, the Argentinian cowboys work the cattle on the pampas and we found a lovely photo of a very handsome one wearing traditional clothes taken in 1868.  Che Guevara was born in the Argentine and he is just as famous as that wonderful dance, The Tango.

Thank you for stopping by and I do hope you will continue to follow us and other travellers on our nearly complete world tour.  (link in sidebar)

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #135 - Winter Sketch

I have made the background paper by spritzing Cosmic Shimmer Mists in purple, silver and gold onto a piece of white card. I then spritzed it with water to give extra interest. The winter sketch stamp is by Blue Moon, the snowflakes cut by my Cricut and the sentiment is from Elegant WordArt by Bethany. I have followed the sketch faithfully but think that there is too much on this card and would have preferred not to put the snowflake ribbon at the top and would then have moved the main image higher on the card. That's just me though!
