This is my card for today's limited supplie challenge. Make a card all about your summertime activity.
This is my story!
1. My son Brad started racing bicycles at age 6. The first race he ever raced on a bicycle at age 6 he took first place. That's all she wrote....
2. At age 13 he progressed to motorcycles and went from the novice class to the pro class in one season. Brad now races motocross, arenacross and supercross. He's 22.
3. We have spent many a summer day at a BMX track, a motocross track, a dual slalom mountain bike track and so forth.
4. He amazes me....95 degrees out, he has knee braces, flack jacket, jersey, padded motocross pants, protective chest gear and so on all worn while racing for 30 minutes straight under very tense racing conditions! Sunscreen is the last thing on his mind!
5. But believe me! I sure break out the sunscreen!
Thank you Shirley (wannabcre8tive) for this awesome stamp you found for me! I had to change the number on the guy in first place to 86. Its all about #86! Go Brad!
I posted some pictures of the real Brad on my glob including one when he was 2 1/2 years old on his rocking dirtbike, no not rocking horsie!! Yikes!

Terrific card, you must have spent most of his growing up bittting your nails to the quick. It would have terrified me.
Glad that he loves it so.
My two GS are into Hockey and Lacrosse. Both very hard sports and they are always sporting the battle scars
to prove it. LOL

Cindy- what a great testimony of Brad! I love that he excels at what he was 'wired' to do! Your scene is knock-out! Love the flying dirt trail! Only Shirt could find the perfect image! What a pal. (I think she scores a free Easy Button for that alone!) GO 86!
