More like a rough month! hehe I loved the sketch for today. it worked perfectly with the new stamps I just got. I also loved the colors for yesterday so I used those today adding the black.
Good thing I am typing this instead of talking it. I have lost my voice. Something that hardly ever happens to me. I swear this bug has got me good. Not sure if it is just allergies or maybe a combo of something. Probably wasn't a good idea working in the rain today. Oh well, it will be an early to bed for me tonight, right after I eat my homemade chicken soup and blow my nose, hehe......the card....
Cut all my panels, stamped the image using vintage photo on panel 4. Colored in some white parts with re-inkers and sponged the edges.
Panel 3, stamped weave bg with cameo coral and clear ep. Then sponged ruby red over top.
Panel 2, stamped weave bg with cameo coral and clear ep.
Panel 1, I had made this black card with the checkered border using acrylic paint the other day so I used today. Thought it looked good.
Put all my panels together. Stamped and clear ep the sentiment then punched out with a circle punch. Masked off the sentiment, sponged w/ruby red then vintage photo. Saw a piece of scrap ribbon, tied it into a knot and glued it on. Wal-la!.....Thanks for looking. Hope you like it.....TFL :0)

What!! Is that Anne on the scale there??? No, I think not, because she weighs 650 lbs soaking wet. Well - I'm not sure what to make of it then - though I do LOVE this fun card!!! Fabulous and fun!!!! I'm sure my dog steps on my scale too when I weight myself!!!! Fun fun card!!!! I love it!

OMG, I heard you had a funny card in your gallery. Who is that? Can't be me because I lost 250 lbs. trying to use a MS doily lace punch just a few days ago.LOL No, not even with my dog on there. I don't even have a dog. This is too good. Hey, Cathy...I am thinking it is allergies doing you in. Mine settle in my throat this time of year and sometimes I can't speak above a whisper. It usually takes me about 1 1/2-2 wks. to recover. Hope whatever you have goes away soon. Your card is too cute and funny!!!

How funny! Is that what is meant when something returns to bite you in the behind??? : ) Well, maybe he isn't biting her there, just adding a few pounds to the scale. Your card is very elegantly done, but it still gave me a chuckle!

this is soooooo cute. LOVE the colors. Your white checkered border is so awesome. I wish I could blame my weight on a dog stepping on the scale. I take everything I can and still be modest whenever I am put on a scale!!!
I just keep going back to that awesome checkered frame....it is soooooooo cool. love it, sis. tfs.
hugs,

This is too, too funny Mutnik!! I LOVE that image. Too bad I can't blame my scales being off due to a dog as I don't have one. But, I do have a really old cat - she's 18 next month!!! I'll use whatever I can get!! Your did a fab job here and I almost thought it was Anne and her dog, but I don't spy any red lipstick or cheap costume jewelry and, last I saw, Anne was a might bit HEAVIER than the woman on the stamp!!! LOL!! Hugs and thanks for all the fun. I'm still trying to catch up on galleries. Hope to be back by soon!! TFS!!

Cathy this card is just too stinkin' cute!!! This reminds me of my last visit to the doctor, my dh went with me and when it was time for me to stand on the scale, he had put his foot on it and neither myself or the nurse saw him do it, I nearly passed out and the doctor just thought I hid it very well (tee hee).
I also wanted to let you know that there is certainly some kind of nasty bug going around, I am headed into week two and am finally starting to get some relief, but I too suffer from allergies and was hit pretty hard with that at the same time too (then add to that my monthly visit from Aunt Flow), I just wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out. I really hope you feel better soon because I certainly can sympathize with you.
I adore your card and I love the addition of the black to yesterday's colors!

Oh, that's probably what happened to me this week. The dog must have been stepping on the scale when I weighed in on Monday. It couldn't have been due to the fact that we ate our way through New York City and NJ on our vacation
I feel so much better now!
Love your card, it made me smile.
