Happy Teapot Tuesday. Here is my card for today's Teapot challenge. Our destination is Brampton, Ontario to Kim - the cousin of fellow SCSer/Teapotter Laurie (Virgo05). Kim was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. He is only 41 years old. For more details - go here
As I work at a Ford dealership (Steve Marshall Ford) as a service advisor and Kim is the Chairman of Local 584 at the Ford Company - I just had to bring Kim a vintage Ford truck. While driving along Route 66 my dh and I stopped at the Hackberry General Store and saw this old pickup truck parked in front of an old garage. I tried to recreate the scene - but omitted all the vintage signs on the garage. I hand drew the garage and sponged in the clouds.
Hugs -- gotta run - going over to see the grandbabies this morning.

Okay, so not only are you a talented stamper, but you can also draw.....I'm jealous!! I love this pick up embossed as it really adds terrific texture; great coloring, too, PR! Hope you enjoyed your visit with the grandbabies!

Oh gosh, this has such a great old time feel, I can almost hear the way the truck would growl if you tried to start the engine. Beautiful scene you have created.
