Well, do I need to explain this???!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Emily, a/k/a scoopy, is our Featured Stamper. Congratulations Emily. I loved looking through your CAS gallery. You have many gorgeous cards, but of course, I chose your very FIRST upload, Going Places, seen here:
I kept the vehicle theme & the basic colors. As soon as I saw your card, I knew what stamp I was using! No, I don't have a red bug anymore (boohoo) & I actually grieved for that car for years, but it always had a flower in the vase & I could not resist using that flower ribbon. I changed the stamp, the orientation, the ribbon, no senti & rounded the corners for that aerodynamic feel!! I loaded the stamp w/ Versamark, then Real Red & clear embossed. I punched the wheels using the 3/4" & 1/2" circle punches. The flower is the MS hydrangea punch.
I hope you enjoy your time in the spotlight and that you like my version of your card.

I have been wondering about your name (I figured you had a red bug but I didn't know the whole story) - so thanks for the insight Bugzi. This card is so cute and I love the meaning behind it!

This is the cutest ever, and such a sweet CASE! LOVE your red VW Bug! Interesting how many of us had Bugs as our first cars. Mine was a tan '59 Beetle Deluxe Sedan... LOVED that car, and the two Bugs I had after it. Now we drive a Mini Cooper S - another really fun car. Thanks for the drive down Memory Lane!
