Well Annie Jo is at it again. She insists that I have a challenge...... She sent a ribbon and school bus to mut and me and said do a card!!!! Annie will be missing in action on this one for a little while.....me thinks she wants to see her competition. Word has it I give away good prizes. That is why we love Annie Jo so much. Each day is a new adventure...
I found this great hop scotch background paper a long time ago. I just didn't know what to do with it until I received the bus in the mail. I love this graphic 45 paper too. I found one with three beautifully dressed women (due to the fancy ribbon from Anne) and the middle one looks like she is blond. So that one is Annie and the other two are sput and mut. We are reminiscing about our days in grade school..... Do I win my own challenge, Annie Jo?
By the way, I have new respect for Anne's ribbons on her cards. This ribbon was a bear to work with. I ended up with just a knot.
Thanks for looking.

OMGosh, this is beautiful! That Anne knows her ribbons, doesn't she. They are just the perfect accent to any card. I love that trio of slender ladies here. Looks just like how I picture us three if we were to have a vintage photo taken together. lol Your school bus is simply darling on that hop-scotch bg dp. Love your vintage brad. The layer of blue just pops it all. Gorgeous card Sis, LOVE IT!....especially with your famous tree in the bg! You wouldn't happen to have your slipper boots on right now, would you? hehe Awesome card. TFS :0)

I'd recognize that tree anywhere! And that bus too! And I'm not even a super-sleuth like Debzi! Fun card - love the vintage ladies - looks like they're all just waiting to talk to a bounty hunter. As for the pretty Annie Jo ribbon, I'm afraid I'd have to be a knot person too - bows just cause me more grief than they're worth! But your knot is perfect! Have a great day...

YOU WON YOU WON YOU WON! Congrats Sput you won your own challenge! Now great is that. Yes, you can take all your prizes and ponder how all that happened to come to be. you have a challenge and you win it yourself. Something's not right here, but I'll just chalk this up to another 'senior' moment you must have had. This is the sweetest paper, is it not? For a moment there, I thought, "oh my, this girl really embraced this challenge and came up with something fabulous". Of course, once I discerned it was dp, I quickly dismissed that idea post haste. I love this card. You've gone over the top with using the ribbon/bus. Can you tell I jsut love this whippersnapper bus? Thanks for playing in your own challenge!

Wow, Connie Jo, at first I thought this was a RAK from Anne because of the bus image. But not! This is a beautiful Sputnik card with some Anne of Ryan ingredients. How fun! You done good, girl! Love it!
