Congratulations Connie Jones (stamp300) on being our 52nd Queen for the Day. So sorry I am late getting here. I hope you are enjoying your reign and that the crown isn't getting to heavy to wear.
I cased this fun Snoopy card Live to Ride
My DH and I mountain bike with Ritchie - he is turning 60 years old this week. He is a crazy, fun and fast rider - he out rides all of us. I thought this fun Bugaboo Gus image would be perfect for his Birthday card. I kept a similar theme - Snoopy's on his motorcycle and Gus is on this bicycle. I had to make it that Gus was riding through the forest on his bike - as we do ride in the forest, down rocks over trees etc.
I used a metal sentiment and brads as well.
P.S. the number on the bike had said "7" - I changed it up to "60" as Ritchie turns 60 years young.
Inside says - growing old is manditory, growing up is optional.
Hugs... Pat

Patricia, this is great. Love all the stitching & that image is a crack up. This would make the CAS challenge this week too. Thanks so much for playing in my honor...yes, my crown is getting heavy but I could handle it for a few more days. I just love it.

Holy Mackeral, Pat, this is hilarious!! Your whole idea of making it look like riding through the woods is cool, not so sure about the riding over the rocks and trees - now that sounds downright DANGEROUS!!
You are definitely a stitching guru, and this card really shows it! and all those delightful layers! this is going to be treasured!!
The sentiment is perfect!! Hugs!!
