So, the girls and I started playing around. I tried using Friends first. It was okay; but, there is a lot of room for improvement. I decided I didn't want to use the same set Heather had because I was spending too much time comparing, analyzing every frame of her video...STOP IT!! {smile}...time to look through my stamps.
That's when I came across Enjoy the Ride. I couldn't resist! I thought of the light aqua Bug my parents had when I was little. {bunny trail: I remember going to the drive-in in that little car...Mom would bring a quilt and my pillow, I'd crash in the backseat at some point. Saw lots of John Wayne movies that way!} I decided I would continue with cards for our album - this one is a 4x6. The little car from Enjoy the Ride was stamped on Rustic Cream cardstock. I used several different colors to "paint" this guy: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, Lemon Tart, Smokey Shadow, Blueberry Sky Can't wait to use it in my album! He's not perfect, but I am kind of fond of him!
