Explanation of title... I didn't have a lot of time today and I wasn't going to play but I thought I would just play in the stamp room any way with the colors (my hardest challenge). I looked a while for an image, Nothing....then I found the little snowman. Easy right?, blues for the scarf and orange for the nose.. A no brainer .. I started coloring the hat orange, oops then decided on stripes for it all. I got to the scarf and goofed and had to make it all blue... Then.... where did the big black smudge come from on the bottom of the snowman...eek. Ok by now it started looking a little like Broncos colors , ok.. I'll die cut a football and stick it over the smudge... I started gluing it all together and... where did the football go I just made..... not on the table.... oh! there it is... on the floor and already embossed... Embossed you ask? I ran over it a few times with my chair.. who knew huh...
SO.... I decided to leave well enough alone and upload it anyway.... here it is.....and I'm a Bill's fan by marriage....
But my background turned out just how I planned, using yesterday's challenge TLC377 Debossing
Thanks for looking

Oh, Irene, I'm sorry, I had to laugh....it was with complete empathy, however...been there, done that, though I have to admit I've never tried the chair roller embossing method. Your card is so darn cute, if you hadn't confessed, I'd have thought you creatively hatched it all before you started!! Fabulous!

I was just ready to log out because I have a million things to get done, and I saw your card. It is soooo cute, and the story behind is so amusing. Thanks for the good laugh. Boy I sure could relate to you and this card. Some cards have a mind of their own. Anyway thanks for brighting my day.

AAAUGH! This is SO fun! I kept seeing Bronco colors, too, but restrained that inclination. Love the snowman. Love the card and the story... Been there. Done that.

Oh, way too funny, Irene! Your creativity kinda "snowballed" outta control! But it helps to know we are not alone when those crazy things happen, and we have no clue just HOW. I actually thought you were a Broncos fan and the card was named for this year in hopes they play a better game in the play-offs, if they make it that far. My Patriots beat them. Anyhow, I love your card and all that you came up with to create a cool dude of a snowman!

You are too funny, sharing all the things that happened to you while making this card. Some days are just plain difficult. Your football looks perfect, and your snowman is cute.

Your card title caught my attention - funny story. I was actually singing "Lets Go Mets" as I made my card, though I stayed away from the baseball theme! Your snowman is adorable and colored really well.
