Yes! I got my “new to me” car yesterday and I love it! Three hours was spent at the DMV, but that’s the price you pay! I left work at 12:00 and headed over to the car place to get the paperwork and then off to DMV. My parents were there with me for a while and then Heather came up with some Starbucks and the line really moved once she got there! We went back to my house to drop off my old car and then headed up to the dealer to pick up the new one. We stopped back at my house and dropped off Heather’s car and went for a nice ride! It handles completely differently from the Chrysler, it’s nice and sporty. Later on Heather and I went to Monty’s for some pizza and then we met some peeps from my work at a bar to say good bye to Thomas and Keri who are leaving. When I got home Taylor called and asked if she could borrow my old car because her alternator went in hers, talk about perfect timing! So yes, I had a very nice Friday! Here is a picture of the new wheels!
Yeah I think I’m pretty flash in it! LOL!
Now on to today’s card which is for this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge…
I took some liberties with the sketch this time! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and the front is covered in a piece of Calypso Coral. I used the Project Life Corner Rounder on both the right corners of the card base and the background. The background is a piece of Mint Macaroon with a strip of paper from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack down the left side. I adhered the panel to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The greeting is from the A Whole Lot of Lovely Host Stamp Set and is stamped in Hero Arts Light to Dark Peach Ombre Ink. I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles Die to cut it out. Behind it a piece of Pacific Point with both ends flagged and under that is some Silver Thread. The flagged strip and the greeting are adhered to the card with Foam Tape. I’ll say it again, that Pretty Petals DSP Stack has some great colors and neat patterns in it don’t you think and I love that Ombre Ink! I really hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge! I always appreciate you stopping by and I hope that you have a fantastic weekend! 🙂

Thank you Sandy!! I’m loving the car! Glad that you like the card! Of course you need some! LOL! 🙂
Hi Justin, Great new car. Congrats. I’ll have to throw some pocket change in it for good luck the next time I see you. I like the one rounded corner on your card and the colors. The blue banner picks up the tiny blue from the DSP. I have this stamp set, but . . . didn’t ink it up yet. Have a great weekend, enjoy your car.
🙂
Hello Nancy!
Thank you! Looking forward to the next time I see you! Love that DSP and that stamp is definitely a favorite of mine! I’m having a great weekend, hope that you are too! 🙂
WooHoo indeed you look pretty dashing I this very sporty car! You should have a very fun weekend, hopefully with the top down. A “new” car, even ‘vintage’ one, is always so much fun.
Love the card too. Yep a very different take on the sketch! Enjoy it all this weekend! 🙂
Why thank you Louise! I’m having a great weekend! Not too much top down time yesterday but a fun day in the city! The car is so much fun! Enjoy your weekend too! 🙂
Yeah baby! You have always looked good, but now you’re looking even better in that car. Good for you! Enjoy!
Aww! Thanks so much Carol! Hope that you are enjoying your weekend! 🙂

Glad that you enjoyed the card! I too love that DSP and that stamp!
I’m having a super weekend! Hope the same is true for you! 🙂
Best wishes on the new car! Use it in good health and be safe. You look dashing in it. Taylor has grand timing! It’s amazing that you found time to park and make a card. Stay dry, my friend. Nancy B
Thank you Nancy! I love the car! Yes, Taylor was quite lucky! LOL! Always time to make a card! Hopefully the rain will stop today! 🙂
Sweet ride, Justin! It definitely suits you!!
I’m also lovin’ today’s card, especially the metallic thread accent!
Thank you Jeanne! I do love the car!
Glad that you like the card! It’s amazing what a little loopy thread can do! 🙂
Hello Justin! What a great pic…you look wonderful sitting behind the wheel! Have fun with it and hope it brings you lots of joy! Love your card today…I’ve been struggling with some of the patterns in that dsp stack. I think if I make the busier patterns a little smaller like you did, it’ll work. I am crazy about the metallic thread too! And the pop of Pacific Point just makes the card! Love that! Our new puppy is doing great…keeping us busy! She’s like my own personal trainer! 😉 Had a little episode at the emergency vet the other night…she caught a little bug. But today she’s back to her old mischievous self! 😉 We love her to pieces though! Have a great day and an even better weekend! Woo-hoo!
Hi Karen!
Thank you! I am really enjoy the car! It’s handles really nicely and is so much fun! I think that DSP stack is one of the best that we have had in a while! I love the colors and patterns in it! The patterns are definitely busy but I do like them as an accent. Love that there is that pop of Pacific Point! I’m glad to hear that the puppy is doing well! They are definitely lots of fun! Glad that she is ok! Keep on enjoying her! You enjoy your weekend! 🙂
WOW! Very nice, car that is! Love your card also, I really need to try playong with thread, I like the effect it gives. Happy weekend!
Thank you for both Linda! Love the car! And yes, a little loopy thread gives a cool accent! Happy weekend to you too! 🙂
