FS241 Simple Things

Photo Details

Poster: gabalot

Congrats Linda on being selected the FS ... nice gallery that is filled with great cards! When I was a kid, weekends and through the summer, I rode my bicycle (named 'Purple Thunder!') from dawn til dusk! By myself or with friends we went on a zillion bicycle "adventures!" This card made me smile as I recollected those memories.

I decided that I would use my bicycle stamp that I've had for years but never used. So w/o further ado here is my humble, simple card.

THANKS for looking and I hope you will find joy in the simple things this coming week!

Such a sweet card, and the sentiment says it all.

Gabby, simply fantastic! I really like how you sponged around the image and your twine is just the right touch. Nicely done, my friend.

I like your simple bike. I had one too and it was my only transportation as a kid. Sometimes I wish I had it back. What a nice simple card.
