Meet Lance SnailStrong! He is tooling through the hills of France on his new PTI Racer! See his yellow jersey? People think "he's won before", "he's retired before"...but if you've seen the commercials...he's not racing for all of those people, he's racing for those who LIVESTRONG everyday...so you GO Lance SnailStrong....cause I STILL believe!
Disclaimer 1: Krischir was very concerned about me because I have not busted out the gingham bg in a few days...see Kris, I am feeling fiiiiine up here, hee!
Disclaimer 2: People have been commenting on my creativity with buttons...but I confess, it is NOT me...this new set is by Papertrey Ink, and all of the images are built around buttons! Cherries, birds, an apple, a bicycle, hot air balloons, trees, flowers! It's called Everyday Button Bits, and you can get one for yourself at Papertrey Ink!

Lance SnailStrong has never looked shiner! I love his new bike too. Gingham just goes with everything don't ya think. Awesome bushes Miss Kelly. Isn't France fun?! Did you happen to bring anything to eat, other than snails? I'm getting hungry. Awesome card my dear. TFS :0)

Kelly, I am glad you made it. This card is adorable. I love the button wheels. The sparkle on Mr. SnailStrong is blinding the other bikers. That was his strategy all along. Get out front and wait until the sun is just right... and wowzers. I love your gingham and ribbon road.

Oh this is just adorable. The scallop hills are prefect for France and the buttons for the wheels are so clever. But the best part of all is Lance Snailstrong sitting pretty on his bike. Darling card !!!

Snort! Lance SnailStrong! Hey, those tires are like the ones the run in time trial! This must be the time trial...Kelly, ask that dude over there with the flag wrapped around his pot belly if this is the time trial! Oh you big chicken! Marilynn, you ask him! Oh you guys, I'll just have to do it myself! Too late, all the bikes went by! No matter what it is, its over!
I think your gingham is a nice addition to the yellow jersey. Before long they will be giving gingham yellow stuffed animal lions on the podium!
Glad you could come Kelly and thanks for the info on the Lancester Snailstrongster! And the thing about the buttons? Give yourself some credit girl! Me thinks you been diong fun thing with buttons prior to the button set coming out......

Great choice of colors and patterns. You have made Lance SnailStrong proud! Lance SnailStrong we women of the tea group salute you.
Side note: Those who hesitate are lost. I tried to order this button set from PTI on Sunday and it is already on backorder. Your card has made me want it even more.

Nicole really needs to hire you as her PR person.. Lance SnailStrong could use one too. This is perfect for the race. I love the fact that the snail is glitterfied and shiny. Much prettier than Lance. Hugs to you.
