Thanks a Bunch
Happy Saturday, peeps! Hope you have a nice weekend planned! It's raining here so I SHOULD be cleaning up my craft room....we'll see how that goes, LOL! I do have a quick little card for the FMS sketch by Judy, as well as the Sunday Stamps color challenge...I love orange, but it took me a little while to figure out what I wanted to do with it!
I also added some background speckles using the Sweet Ice Cream set! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed! And be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge!
A little funny my sister sent me:

Jingle Belles Text Me
Happy Monday, peeps! I'm sharing the card I originally made for last week's Paper Players challenge, but I forgot one of the colors....black! But it was still a cute card, so I am going to share it today. It uses papers from the same MME pad but it uses a subway-style sentiment stamp I've had for a few years from CTMH, which makes it perfect for the Jingle Belles "Text Me" challenge!! Here we go:
It all went on a Blushing Bride card base! Thanks for popping in today!
Over the weekend, we drove from PA to northwestern NC to buy a truck for John! He's really fussy about the kind of truck he drives so when he saw it on line, he jumped at the chance. It's a stick shift, which is hard to find, most everyone wants automatic! We left at the ungodly hour of 2:30 am to beat traffic around Baltimore and DC but of course, we did hit it on the way home. Yuck! Here is Mr Photogenic getting ready to drive it home:
