For today's challenge "Playing Safe". When I was a child our toys were things like jump ropes, baseballs, hula hoops - mostly outdoor "toys" and some board games. My favorite was my bike. My friends and I would spend hours riding. I found a vector image and reworked it, drew a red frame and added the sentiment, then printed it, fussy cut around the frame and added it to a white base that I embossed using Spellbinders A2 Card Creator.

Fabulous work on that bicycle, Priscilla, it looks just fantastic. I loved mine; we used spend hours just riding around the house (a big garden, and a couple of dangerous curves with the risk of going over the edge into the rose garden ;-)). The balloons look amazing, the foil gives them such great shimmer.

I almost thought of a bike too, one of my favorite things, but I went with the rocking horse, my childhood favorite. I love your bike with the balloons and how you framed it. Your cards are always so clean and crisp!

Super card, Priscilla. Love the balloons with the shimmer. I have great memories of my bike except the time I wasn't supposed to be riding and had a bad accident. :(

I love the balloons on the bike. Your childhood sounds somewhat like mind. Everywhere I went was on my bike. The house was too small for 5 kids so we were always outside, no matter how cold it was. We played a lot of Monopoly, Scrabble and Dominoes. Good memories.
