Before showing my card I want to tell you a little story.
I've only had one bike all my life when I was 9.
Every year I asked my mom and Santa Claus
for a bike and got nothing...
For Mother's Day my dear amazing husband
bought me a bike.
The bike *of my dreams* =D
A Pink Schwinn Cruiser and I'm in love.
Bad News is I suck riding it!!
As I told you last time I rode a bike I was 9 or 10 years.
I'm 24 and I sucked!! :(
*Lesson: Please let your kids ride the damn bike!!
I'll tell you if I get better... Please wish me luck!!
I made 10 Father's Day cards for Operation Write Home.
These are my two favorite.
I got this bike stamp and I loved it!!
I did simple cards with some embossing and inking.
The embossing folder is Tim Holtz.
The sentiment was printed on my computer and
I did like a wave effect when I glued it down.
That red paper is Martha Stewart.
Even thought they are bikes they kind of remind the Harley Davidson Style.
I am entering this card on these challenges:
Whimsical Wednesday: Back To Basics (No Cricut)
Getting Cricky with K Andrews: Retro Dad
I hope you liked the as much as I love my new bike!
Take Care!!

Nice cards. And I am right there with you on the bike story. I tried to teach my son last year how to ride a bike and thought it would be easy to jump on a bike after not riding one for who knows how many years. Well boy was I wrong. I totally forgot adn sucked. Anyways I LOVE your bike super cute.
Those cards are fabulous!!! And what a great hubby to buy you the bike of your dreams!!! I did ride when I was growing up but never owned my own bike until I was an adult -- I always rode my brother's bike.
Anyway, after a couple of times you'll probably be fine. I didn't ride from age 26 to 43, and when I bought my bike, it was like I'd never stopped riding; just don't give up!
I love your pink bike......its soooooo cool!
Your card is great, love the embossing.
Those cards are soo cool!Great job,I love the paper and all the super details.Thank you for joining us at Whimsical Wednesday!:)
Que brutal tu historia, todavia estoy riendome, no de ti!!!!sino contigo, jejeje. Que lindo detalle de tu esposo(awwww)Sabes que la ultima vez que corri bici era cuando tenis como 17 años. Mi esposo se compro una en Navidad(porque ahora los varones se vas en bonche a correr,( y yo que me chave aqui con los muchachos)Trate de montarme y ese sillin por poco me viola la vida. Me tuve que bajar de alli si poder correrla.
Estan bonitas tus tarjetas y el stamp esta super, un abrazo, Zulma

Wow, you really outdid yourself. I love these cards. That background is masculine but so cool. The bling for the wheels always a hit for us bling lovers! Your sentiments are just perfect. They are both outstanding.
