okay, Sandy Allnock...! If you have never seen this YouTube vid, you will laugh yourself silly. But for me...I will continue to hoard my scraps. This very card would never have been, if I didn't...well maybe that is a slight fib.
Thanks Shoe Girl for the call to use plaid. I took the easy way out and chose to use it as wallpaper. Looks pretty good, wouldn't you say? I left a space at the bottom of the wall were a casing would be.
I've been waiting to use this beautiful chair from a recent Pottery Barn catalog...so comfy, so sturdy...perfect for sitting and counting my blessings. And I have lots to count, bet you do too! The sentiment is an unmarked wooden stamp (inked on a t~tiny scrap of Baja Breeze) I added the Cosmo Cricket type stickers in brown along the top...relax.
As for the 100 Proof Press stamp, well I hid it within the card, can you find it? It's a personal reminder to count my blessings and gather strength to get back on.
Hoping you will find lots of time 2day to sit and relax in your favorite spot...maybe watch that video and have a giggle or two...thanks so much for hanging out with me today.

So, as much as I loved Sandy's video, I still hoard my scraps, too! Took me forever to find the bike, but I love the thought behind it. Wonderful card - so creative as always - and your fussy cutting is perfect! Hugs, Susan, you'll get there!

Very cool, Ms. Susan. Yup, there's another chair. Strange though that there's half a bicycle on the chair's side. As I've come to expect, your card is delightful and reflective of who you are. so much balance. It's all about the balance isn't it? Hugs

Susan, I saw the bike on the side of the chair and immediately read your comments to see if you had an explanation - or was I just seeing things? Super, comfy looking and fun wallpaper. Count my blessings - I do it often.

Wow, I have to say this chair is so inviting and your plaid wall seems like just the room to put it in. I did find your signature hidden bike and seeing your work in the gallery just always brings the JOY only you can bring!!!!
