Thank you all so much for sharing a little piece of you with me. I really enjoyed reading every one! Many of you made me bust out laughing, too! LOL! It’s fun to be a girly girl sometimes, isn’t it?

I made this sketch for Roxie’s sketch challenge on SCS this week. I rarely use my wheels, so I thought it would be fun to wheel this image and use it for the focal point.

I wheeled it on PaperTrey white cardstock, and colored with Prismacolored pencils and Gamsol. The hubcaps and bumpers are colored with a silver sharpie. I matted it with black, then added Fun Flock (white and caramel latte tan) to the little doggies with a Sakura quickie glue pen. That seriously made me squeal!

Next, I stamped the real red panel with the flannel plaid bg stamp. I dunno why, but photographing red ink on red paper is pretty stinkin’ difficult. You can just *barely* see it in the photo! Then, I pierced all around the edge and faux-blanket stitched using the fine tip end of the black marker.

I tied the black gingham ribbon using Val’s method seen on her blog HERE . (Val, I can’t tell you how much time you have saved me by teaching us that trick!! Seriously *perfect* every time!! Thank you!) Then, I stamped the “friend” sentiment in Memories black ink, and adhered the little Jesse James paw print button with a glue dot.

I adhered this entire panel to my white card base (PaperTrey–have you bought it yet? no? what are you waiting on, missy? *wink*), and then attached the focal image on dimensionals.
