Hi everyone, Boy what a day! Got up at 7:30 to do the CAS challenge and I had no internet. Called the tech at my phone company and talked to him for an hour~couldn't figure anything out so I took my tower to him. Then I had to pick up my MIL and take her to Iowa City to get her glassed fixed~she took a tumble in the garage on Sunday~all scaped up but no broken bones~thank goodness. The tech called and said the tower worked fine~so when I got home he came out and hooked everything up and it worked fine! He didn't know what happened~so very frustrating! But I finally got my CAS card done! Thank you Jen and Terri for a great sketch. And thanks to all the design team for their super samples.
I stamped and heated embossed the bike and sentiment, colored with SU watercolor pencils and a blender pen. Added the gingham. TFL
Hugs Linda

I know how frustrating not having working internet can be. It's happened enough times to us that my 2 teens can usually figure it out and get me going again quickly. Don't know what I'll do when they're gone!
I love the way you've stamped your bicycle off the card and the coloring on the basket is so nice! The gingham ribbon adds such a nice touch.

WEll, for all of your troubles today, this is a mighty fine card! This bike reminds me of my pink Schwinn that I had as a kid with the basket on the front. I was WAY COOL! LOL! I never rode it, but I could say that I had a bike!!! We lived on a huge hill and there was no flat place to ride!!!!
This is really cute! You did good! I'm glad that you MIL is ok after her tumble! That can be scary!

Yikes what a day you had! Computer problems can be frustrating, but it is so wonderful when everything is back up and running. Glad to see you were able to get some time to stamp, your card is awesome. I just love that image.

I go bonkers when my internet is wonky. I just about went bonkers not having internet for a week on vacation! AAAAACK! I want you to know that I LOVE this card. That bike image is amazing and it is perfect the way you stamped it off the side of the card. Right into my favorites!

Great card! I love that bike! I sympathize with you on your Internet woes. My laptop wireless doesn't work and it is old and very unstable. Most of the time I just upload and go back and edit because it has crashed twice in tje middle of an upload. My daughter is getting a new laptop for college next week, so I will get her old one, a very nice MacBook Pro. I cannot wait!
