A "Thank You" card...

Hello Blog Land! As you can see, I had a day off today to celebrate The 4th of July. What better way to celebrate than to spend a little time in my "Happy Place".  I wanted to make a Thank You card for someone who did a really nice thing for my Daughter and I. Savannah had a broken glass on one of her VW's side mirrors and I called an old business colleague to have it replaced. What a sweetie...he did it for free!!! I know it wasn't a fortune but it REALLY gives me a little faith in mankind when people do nice things for others. I couldn't let that go by without saying "thanks". So..."Thanks Tim"! 



I will be making another one with a slightly different theme when I get a chance. Don't you love it when you are working on one card and get an idea for another one?!?
I pulled out one of my OLD wood mounted stamps for this one. I know, I can hear the gasps! This poor thing has been collecting dust for so long and I actually think this is the very first time I have used it. The stamp is a "Just Married" stamp, but I did a little paper piecing and made a new license plate. 

Here's another Flip-Flop Creations sentiment freebie for you...ENJOY!

Girls Will Be Girls...




Get your motor running because this month's blog hop (or race in this case) at Just Inklined is all about Cars!! Not whimpy, slow, 4 cylinders...we have some souped up muscle cars to show you.



If you came here from Heidy's blog you are in the right place. If not, you might want to start at the beginning ( Jak's blog ) so you don't miss a thing. Make sure you leave a comment along the way to be eligible for this month's prize.



The order of the hop is:
Jak, Tammy, Toni, Karen, Cathy, Heidy, Jeni (me) & Joyce



You all know I struggle with masculine cards (I think I may have mentioned that before). So, when our lovely boss lady Jak e-mailed me my car I was sent spinning into panic mode. I said to myself, "Self, just do what you do best". That's when I knew this was a girls car!!!! (Lol) I work in a service department and know for a fact that girls do love their cars. I think we all even have our dream cars just like the guys do. Mine is a 1967 Ford Mustang, cherry red, tan leather seats, white wall tires, convertible top optional.


Now, speed on over to Joyce's blog and finish this race!!
