Oh my! Got up this morning to check Day #154 at 365 Cards, saw Michelle as the Guest Reader, "Yay", I say, then looked at the title, saw Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and thought, oh man, I don't have any transportation gear! Went back to bed, couldn't sleep (it was 4:00AM) and remembered that I had used the Loads of Love truck stamp at a Stampin' Up get together and knew I didn't like the card I made. OK, I can recycle and make a new card. Then I thought, I think maybe I could have a mat stack with automobiles on it. Got up at 5 AM and sure enough, I found both. Then I giggled. My DH and I went out to eat last night and as we drove around we played a game, "Hey look, there's a clunker!" Of course we excluded our car from the game... so why not use a clunker of a card!Well, put all this rambling together and you have the following card...
Five minute card and challenge is done! Now I can finish painting the utility room windows/cabinets and start mowing 2 acres (not by myself of course, DH has to supervise and mow "what I miss" routine). That is, if it doesn't rain as predicted.
The background is from SafariKids matstack. Love it, lots of glittery pics. The Cash For Clunkers sign is off the internet but
don't tell anyone!
Have a great week-end and in tribute to today's challenge, keep the pedal to the metal, but drive safely...
