card and tag...



Sorry I went MIA for a few days. It's been busy around here as usual and nothing remotely interesting to blog about. Not that I'm blogging about anything interesting now either, but you can still leave me a comment with a more boring post too. :o)
Cody is working long hard sweaty hours for that new toilet. He said he doesn't mind because he got a new biker name. They changed it from "Skid" to "Demolition Man" and he's happy with that. What a dork!
I made my friend Terry a card today just to let her know we love and appreciate her. I picked this design because she has a thing for buses. Partly because she works for the schools and partly because she always jokes about people throwing her under the bus when they burn her with a joke or smart alec comment of some sort. She is in the Star motorcycle group with us and she gets the members of the group an Italian charm for their bracelet with a bus on it when they get her good. On one of the rides they saw a bus and had her get on and a bunch of them laid under the bus for pictures. Pretty funny! She is also the one that drives the "chase car" on rides which we call the bus. Anyways, she loved her card. I especially love giving cards when it's not a special occasion.
The stamps I used are old ones from DOTS who is CTMH now. I couldn't find my scissors anywhere so I had to cut it out with a razor knife. I stamped the kids twice side by side so that they could peek through the cut out windows. I like the little puffs of smoke out the exhaust of the bus. Cute!

What an adorable card Jolene! You did an amazing job creating it with the kids on the bus...very cute. I know your friend appreciated it!

Love that you did the tag. Great list. We have several things in common but the one that jumps off the page is the love of chocolate!!!

Have a dandy day!

Love the tag...even though I don't blog I usually answer along (it comes from hangin' with Septmeber)My favorite..those old fashioned bullseyes, carmels with a powdered sugar center. They still have them at Joanne's which of course gives me another reason to have to go there!

Woohoo for Nicholas Cage! He's on my list!

Grandma September said...

Great post. And I even learned something from the comments, since I did NOT know that Mary Ann (MAS) who is one of my dearest friends loves bullseyes. LOL! So funny because those are my very favorite candy from childhood. My Grandpa used to sneak them to me. :D

Very cute card!

Your bus card was cute.
