This is for two challenges - the Sketch 325 for today and SPRINGSC11. I had fun with this because it's so typical of Spring around here.
The little red truck is out picking up garbage to sell or recyle before the garbage men get there. Being a dumpster diver from way back I can feel the thrill, but DH says his wife is probably a stamper and he needs the extra money. LOL
All my papers are Basic Grey Paper Pad. I stamped the image and colored it with ink and a blender pen as I didn't have a color that looked like a rusty red truck. The bed is filled with good stuff from my vintage sewing notions jar and I added eyelets and a piece of rope. This is in case he finds something big enough to tow. tfl

Cute card, clever description. I just had to read your comment to my DH. I put in a big SU order today, and he thinks he might have to go out and find some stuff to sell, too!

Love your "junk" in the back and the distressed street map; looks like it could have been rolling around in the pick-up (that's what an atlas looks like that gets tossed around in a 15 passenger van with 6 kids! Ask me how I know!)
