Oh man...ever since Shirley and Mr. Wannabcre8tive were here, I have been dieing to make a card based on the joke he told!
'A blonde wakes up and her house is on fire. She runs to the phone and calls the fire dept, saying 'MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE'. The Fire Chief says, m'am calm down, and tell me where you live. She screams again 'MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE. The Fire Chief says, M'am, how do you think we are going to get there? And the blonde relpies, 'Duh...Big red truck!'
We laughed all week about that joke, and I wanted to send them a proper thank you for all they did for us while they were here. It is so special to have your SCS family visit. I apologize right now (Flowergal) for the blonde reference, but dang..this just tickled me!
StampingQueenJar, thanks so much for the inspiration. Your gallery is a delight! I kept the basic layout, and switched the placement of the brads, and used different stamps and colors.
The bear is covered in Fun Flock, and the truck is watercolored and has a coat of CE here and there, and I used amber colored Christmas bling for the tail lights.
Thanks for looking!

Like your card and great job on the tail lights. They really look like they are turned on. Very scary bear...well, maybe not. Fun card!

Loooooooooooove this truck, you do such a great job with it. Think I have to have one. That bear goes so well with it and the fun flock is a perfect touch. Big red truck is here now. DH wanted to know why you were calling him Mr. WannaB. LOL Big fire, they just sent another truck, he didn't know I was WannaB. Thought this would make you laugh. It is so fun to aggravate him. He said I am having way to good of a time making people laught at his expense. Tee Hee, better his than mine, don't ya think?

GREAT JOKE! GREAT CARD!!! I have to say I would not have purchased this image if I saw it just as a stamp. But what you do with it makes me want to go out and get it!!! Love all the extra touches you do to gussy it up! And of course, the bear is priceless! He's kind of like my DH. Looks mean but is a real softy!
