back of cards

My first try at the back of the card with my card studio,  2" MM scalloped circle. 

Jeff's thank you, story behind this one!

since this is for a man I did not want to alter it with glitter, so I did with ink....snow on the trees, a little on the deer and on antler is missing, to make it look like he might have just a nub!


Oh My, I normally don't have a story to tell about a card, but this one I do!
My Daughter Britt, locked my keys inside the trunk of the car Thurs. after school, I was at her volleyball game and her BD was on Sat.  (today). I told her there was a treat in the trunk for her team and she could go get it. when she returned I asked for my keys and she had a surprised look on her face when they where not in her hand. "Oh, they must be in the trunk!"  Thinking the spare key was at home, I called my dad who lives a few blocks from school if he could take me home for the spare key. Get Home and the key is not there....remember  Carol!   I put it in my purse! and my purse is in the trunk! and no more keys.(it was in my purse, because we went to CO to visit our daughter and son-in-law and brought it just in case it was needed)
So I called non-emergency police and asked if they could unlock it?  Since  it is an electric unlock system, they could not. They told me my best bet was to call a lock smith or a tow truck.  Herb told me no lock smith they would cost too much and that he would think about it and get to it after chores. So my dad took me back to school  to pick Britt up, (by the way they won all 3 games) and took us back home. Good thing we are only 3 miles from school. So I started thinking, Why would the officer tell me about a tow truck?  who do I know that owns a service station, a tow truck!!! My daughters father in law, a good friend of our also!
Jeff to the rescue..... he has this tool that can gently pry the door so he can get this fishing pole looking thing to get to the door opener.  THEN the alarm goes off and since we have the button  trunk opener  in the door. push that and get the keys out of the trunk and shut the alarm off....What a night!
We were talking about his hunting (the front of the card) and how the week before he was hit by a woman who ran a red stop light ( the inside of the card)  I also put a $25 gift card to Fleet Farm in it for a thank you!

punch challenge- going to England! & Consider a CHALLENGE

this card is going to England to a 7 year old little girl who is sick Annelous...

so I desided to make a challenge also.  use a punch  that is it  so I use Martha Stewart lacy punch... my favorite.      I was told she likes pink and the disney princesses... but I don't have that cart. this is from

JOTS, 11 ladies dancing, and   SB

I tried to keep it light since I have never mailed anything to England before, Will add what I paid in postage later.
update: I mailed it out and thought it would be more than   $1.82    to mail it out   1.90oz. and it was double enveloped.     so not so bad!  told her also that I wanted it to go the cheapest way!

MoJoMonday # 102 M&D 59th ann.

Hard to believe it is September already! where did the summer go? I made this with MoJoMondays design.  thougtht I would try something new.   I think it turned out alright, might be a bit dark. I will leave it blank so Mom & Dad can reuse it (they would keep it a few days and send it back for me to recycle anyway) this way they can keep it for someone else.
