Say Cheese!

Our Greek Son-in-Law's 40th birthday is coming soon.  He is in the printing business and a lot of his work involves taking photos.  

I have made him a card using PTI's Shutter bug stamp and die set.  I think my texted paper is Basic Grey but I'm not entirely sure as it had fallen out of the pack.  The "40" and the polaroid images are cut from a DCWV stack.   I stamped a Fiskars "Smile in white ink on the polaroid and added a pull out tag where the photo would come out of the camera.   The die to cut the camera comes with this pull out together with the "pull here" phrase.

I am hoping that when pulled it reads in Greek "Say Cheese" and something like "Wait for the Birdie"  which is what the Greeks would actually say instead of "Say Cheese".   I cut out an extra front of my camera and mounted it on a 'book leaves' construction.  You can't really see it in the photo but it is intended to mimic the concertina extension of a camera like this as seen in the picture below.

I am entering my card into the "Anything Goes" challenges at 

One Stop Craft and Bunny Zoe's

and the "Literary Inspiration" Challenge at Make My Monday

I have a choice of literary inspiration...

"An Imperfect Lens" by Anne Richardson Roiphe, or

"Shutter Island" by Denis Lehane, or

"Snapshots" by Joyce Carol Oates and Janet Berliner
