Vroom, Vroom!

There are a handful of digi stamp companies I love for the fun, fun images they provide. Bugaboo is one of these companies. I always have such fun with these images! Today's challenge at My Time to Craft is Challenge #271 - Make a Scene. GF! If I ran into Ray Posada right about now... I could probably make a pretty good one but I don't think that's what was meant! Ha! So instead, I'll share this with you:

I think this would make a great teaser card for my FB friend I'm always flirting with. Although... he's got his heart set on some tacos! Ha! Long story, another post! ;)

Ha! I had me some fun with this card! I always want to reach for my fishing stamps and create a background of a lake. I. Kid. You. Not! I've done it... maybe about three times, I think. One. Two. Three. And that's because these are the only ones I could remember. But when I got this paper, I thought it would make a great journey kinda card... but then I picked up this fun sentiment... and when I won me some Bugaboo stamps, I found this image and it all just came together for me! :D lol Don't you just love it when things fall into place so easily!

So come on over to MTTC and make a scene... but not the kind that involves screaming or hitting anyone... make it with paper and stamps! ;) lol Be sure to pop on over there and check out what my teammates have created as well!
