vroooom!

Ohhhhhhhhh how sick I have been--still am! Have you ever had one of those coughs that makes your lungs feel like they are on fire? Add a fever and no voice and you have me *lol* Having suffered from pleurisy in 2003, I have a terrible time with my lungs whenever I get a cold. It takes twice as long to recover.

Thank you for your sweet well wishes. I really do appreciate your comments.

Now onto today's card--another GM Release at CHF. I'll start with the panels in the background. I stamped the image on white, black and grey and punched it out using a 1 1/4 inch punch then mounted it on kraft square 1 3/4.



You'll notice that I placed some brads with clear rhinestones as headlights. Also, I couldn't resist a set of keys. I also distressed the edges of the cardstock to give it a more masculine look.

A Truck.

It's amazing how life gets in the way of a post every once in a while. It's a good thing it doesn't always happen too often *wink* and fortunately it only lasted one day *lol*.

I have shared a few of the cars/trucks from the GM collection by CHF. I have such a hard time with masculine cards so these images are PERFECT...because what guy doesn't like a vehicle?

1938 Suburban.

It's been a while since I pulled out the EP (embossing powder) and when I first saw this image I knew I had to make this classic car shiny. It's hard to see how shiny it is with this photo but it looks real classy.
I am actually a classic car junky. This summer my mum, the kids and I went to three car shows...okay one was driving right by the house (there were close to 100 cars) but the largest one showcased close to 800 cars. It was spectacular. My husband and I both have a dream to restore a classic once we retire. We both have our eye on a certain Porsche so I think we better start saving our pennies now *lol* So in the meantime I will just have to live vicariously through these stamped images from GM. You'll notice I paired this image with the Haunted Cosmo Cricket patterned papers--they just had that right "old" vintage feeling.
