enjoy the ride...

Hey there!!!

How's your week going so far?

I'm sharing another new PTI set that I recently ordered...Enjoy the Ride.

LOVE VW stuff...use to own a lime green diesel New Beetle, that was well, a Lemon. I had it for 7 years...loved the size, perfect for my size, but the SUV's never seemed to see me :( That and the diesel engine wasn't the best, had it in the shop ALOT...bummer....now I'm back with a Honda:)

I paper pieced the car with some sweet October Afternoon..polka dots, who could tire of polka dots?!!! I finished it off with PTI buttons...you can't tell by the pic but I thought I was going to be so clever filling the headlamps with Crystal effects....well, it massively glooped out and actually, I LOVE the look!

I was inspired by FTL89!

♥♥kid alert♥♥

Check out what my boy did for ME....

Do you see this card?!

I was asking him how he made it...it is multi-part...the branch is from the Hero Arts Flower Branch with Owl...he only inked up the branch and then he used an owl from the Ink n' Stamp-Birds and Branches!! He picked out the A Muse sentiment...He even used my HS distresser...

I lucked out...he temporarily 'lost' the sweet little 4x4 card so he made me another...

scallops...scallops...and more scallops...my boy knows me!!!!! Throw in brocade and pops of rose red...topping it off with that sweet heart...woot woot!!!

Lucky for me, the owlie card was found underneath a marvy punch...LOL...so I got 2 cards from my favorite boy!

I'm soooo very thankful for my kidlets...really I am...they give me such pure joy and happiness....
