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)

Hi Cathy, challenged by tyres! What a day you had but I hope it makes you laugh now because it made me howl! Only you could come up with a fabulous card like this one. I knew you'd do something stunning with this card fold. Your bird house is fantastic, I think it should be a stamp LOL!!!! Wonderful sponging of the sky and background and the tree is beautiful. I love it.
