Woke up to a flat tire on my truck, pumped it back up and drove quickly to the tire store where it seems they couldn't fix the tire! Long story short, they gave me new tires.....I mean, I bought new tires, but one of the new ones wasn't quite right. To make matters worse, they didn't have another one until a delivery came. So I had to go back later in the day and have them change out my tire. Don't these people know I have a card to make?!!!
I knew I couldn't compete with all the beautiful challenge cards today. So I chose to go plain. Let me explain. I was inspired by a cartoon this morning that made me laugh out loud! So I knew I wanted to somehow share it with all of you. So I drew the birdhouse with the bottom falling out with the chubby chick on it by looking at the cartoon. I stamped and colored and cut out my tree to hang the birdhouse on. Sponged the sky and made a horizon, like the cartoon, with hills and trees. Not one of my better creations, but for a lack of time and energy and just wanting to play, here is my card!
Oh yeah, my sentiment came from my DH, who is always saying "better cut back on the tacos!" Hope he isn't referring to me!!! I know Rosco dog need to cut back! LOL......TFL :0)

LOL! How creative! The story AND the card! You are quite an artist!
This made me laugh (and sigh! I have gained weight since my dh has returned home from military service....he loves to cook!) At least laughing about it makes it a bit less painful!

I think this card is too cute. I am glad that you had time from all your tire issues to not be to tired to stamp. No pun intended. Hehehe. Great job on this card. Love the sentiment. Made me laugh. Have a great night.

Ha! How great is this? Is stamping not for fun? I need a laugh. There are fires all around me and I'm stuck at my office for another 2 or 3 hours hoping the freeway will open to get back into my community. I needed this laugh, so thanks. A smoky Californian.....

LOL Cathy! I am laughing because since we got back from vacation and both gained 5 lbs.... we need to cut back on something... not tacos... don't eat them hardly ever! But this struck my funny bone and I'm still chuckling! What a clever take on this step fold and I love your tree, birdhouse, and chubby little hen! Great job coloring as always! So sorry about the tire trouble! Just had to get 4 myself. Ouch in the pocketbook on that one!!!! Glad you got to make this one though... I would have missed out on my favorite laughs of the day!
