For some reason this stamp always reminds me of the Buzz Lightyear Movie and his classy saying! While blog surfing I found some wonderful cards made using the SU rocket ship and since I didn't have that stamp I used what I had. I love the AMuse rocket stamps and matching verse. I saw a layout similar to this and I must say I'm in love with this cute card! I used the Jersey Shore paper and punched out some circles to complete the picture. The stars are punched and layered just to give it an extra punch! You can't tell, but I added some liquid applicate to the "window" for a bubble look.
Yesterday was so different then the day before. The sun came out and the snow melted off. It became down right nice in the afternoon. We went to vote last night and I was wowed over with the amount of people that turned out. We waited in line for over an hour to vote and there was plenty of folks still there when we left. We have voted in TX for 25 years and I've never seen a turn out like this one! We met a man who we knew from 4 years ago and we were all shocked at the turn out. We all wondered where these folks were last time around. The Democratic Party might have changed things in the White House four years ago if they had showed up! I'm proud to say my children did their duty last night as well. They voted differently then their parents, but they voted and I'm very proud of that!
Well, I guess I better move along or else I'll have people writing me to say they don't like what I have to say even though this is MY blog and I don't remember holding anybody down and forcing them to read my own thoughts. Lately it does seem as if you don't like what someone writes, people feel free to be mean to the writer! What sense does that make? Just don't read the blog. After all, I pay each month from my own pocket to do this and I try and stay nice, upbeat, and share my work with friends and family. So the moral of this story folks is---play nice!!
Have a grand day and I hope you are blessed with life's joys and you share them freely!
Amen Sister!!!
Hugs,
Amy

Hi Paula, It sure is nice to see the sun again, Isn't it! We voted as well, but, living as we do out in the middle of nowhere, we didn't have the long lines. There were 2 people ahead of us & no waiting!

We voted absentee, so nice, a few months ago, as there is no polling place for us here. Only a few in line, Lobie (dear German Shepherd), a couple of red tailed hawks, a bobcat or two and a couple of coyotes! Needless to say, Lobie sacred them all away, and there was no waiting! He he! Love this colorful explosion of a card Paula! Hugs, Deb

I can't even stand how cute this card is. How totally perfect for a little boy - the colors, the layout, the images - everything!
I read all of your posts and love everything you have to say! My dad used to tell me to always vote. I vote in every single election, from schoolboard to president. I love how he put it when I was 18 - even if you think your vote doesn't matter, you vote. If you don't vote, you forfeit the right to complain about the decisions of the elected officials in any way. :)
I am in total agreement on the subject of flaming. It just irks me - if you are going to be offended, don't look. And if you do make the choice to look, don't get offended. Remember when there used to be (at least an intsy bit of) tolerence and not everyone had that sense of righeous entitlement that is so common these days. aahhhh....
