I made this card for our neighbor who helped with our gravel road, between the driveway and the county road. We live in the country the weather’s been wet. The guy across the street is building a house — yeah, who starts building in November — and the big trucks and equipments that have been passing by have caused a lot of damage to our little road. We usually re-gravel our road once a year and it’s been fine but the winter construction has made our road more unbearable to drive. With this big tractor our neighbor (not the guy who’s building) straightened out the road, made ditches on the side for water and helped made our few yards of driving more eventful. Hope he keeps the card for at least a few days.

This is also another try at Beate’s sketch. I did the Bella one but it’s not like her sketch… kind of. I used my Cuttlebug on the chocolate chip and also the off white… you probably can’t see it too well on the off white. The stamps are Garden Silhouette and Lots of Thoughts. The blue, I’m not so sure which it is. My papers got all mixed up. I think it’s from last year’s in-color. The designer paper is Apple Cider and ribbon is from Joann’s. I used chocolate chip and pumpkin pie ink.

Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Guenevere. She had her babe with her and I, taught the cutie pie how to blow raspberries. It was really cute and he could do it on queue too. Ha ha…

Well, that’s it. Hope you have a great day!!

What a kind and wonderful neighbor you have. The card is gorgeous, I can’t imagine he would not keep it. Maybe the new guy can pave the road while he has his driveway done, LOL!
