Ok here are the reasons I should win....I am on time!!! I am in three challenges with this card and if anyone knows me very much at all....that is a monumental experience for me. Old hat for most of you talented people but not for this old lady. Lastly, I was stranded at a gas station for 2 1/2 hours when I locked my keys in my truck. As soon as I shut the door, I knew what I had done. My oldest son is in Arizona, my youngest son was at work and my middle son was very far away taking his dad to his doctor appointment and my sister lives in California. I need to somehow grow my family so I have more people to help me especially since I am really doing goofy things since I got old!!!
I had such fun making the Bargello Design. This is a technique I hope to do again before I forget!!! It also works for the inspiration challenge too!!
Thank you for looking. Anyone interested in joining my family for emergencies, please send phone number!!!
hugs to all of my sisters!!

Okay, so here is the deal, Conair! I am only one hour away. Mail me an extra set of your keys and the next time this happens I can drive from Fort Collins to Denver and save you in less than one hour! And....maybe we can make a card or two while we are at it. Does your truck have one of those nifty pull out crafter cabinets coming out of the glove box? Can you get one? Snort!
This card is awesome! I will vouch for your accomplishment this week....yes, early for you is amazing! Ha! But every now and then you pull it off and we know you got it in ya girlfriend! I will text you my phone number....when I find my phone....oh, I will need your phone number to text you...have you found your phone yet?

Ooh, aren't you the elegant one today, Connie.
Sorry about your mishap, and sorry to that sending you my number wouldn't do much good. I once locked my keys in the car, and that was enough. I once locked myself out of the house - had to get DH to meet me on the train platform near his work with his keys and rush home, because someone was coming to collect a cake. I'd only gone out to get some more sugar for the frosting, rolls eyes. You don't have to be all that old to do daft things like that. Love your colours, especially with that fabulous black lace for contrast.

Ooh La La... So sexy!!
Your bg is perfect for highlighting the image!! I love the image, the lace and the colors!!
About the keys locked in the truck, been there done that. Don't you have something like AAA there that will come help you? The gas station didn't have a Slim Jim to help you out? Major bummer.

Well, hey there TPT gallery neighbor! Talk about opposites... there you are all glammed up with that lovely designer dress and and high heels, then there's me, old, fat and wearing a uniform with orthopedic shoes. If there's any of the leading men you are casting off, please, send them my way! LOVE this card ConnieJo, and the Bargello Design background is PERFECT! Loved the story too!
