Sketch #237~Reason for the Season

This is the second card I made for: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I didn't know if it would qualify because the stripes on the left hand side are not very pronounced.  Instead of using DSP or washi tape, I  used my embossing folder.   Then I made the poinsettia's by 3 step stamping and cutting them each out. I had them all placed perfectly when I decided to add a dab of gold wink of stella.. and then it happened.. one little dab turned into a HUGE GLOB.. I was mortified.  So I quickly grabbed a kleenex to try and blot the mess that I was creating on my card.  Does anyone else struggle like this?  By the time I was done, I had glitter everywhere.  Oh the Joy of Card making.

Then my dear daughter messaged me and said she can't leave work because her tire is flat.   So I went to pick her up.  Apparently  the guys will be fixing that tonight after work. At least she was in town.   Our last experience with this was in April, with my Equinox.  We were in a different city, and my son had just been released from having surgery, we came out to a completely flat tire.  But we had an angel that day. Seriously this  tall man 6'6" at least, came  out of no where asked if we needed help.  He had so much trouble getting my tire off but wouldn't give up until the job was done, and then told us where to go so we could get it plugged.  Truly a blessing.   Even though they couldn't repair my tire we were able to make it home on a spare. So we just need to be thankful, even when we have bolts in our tires..  At least we are safe. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
