Good morning all! I hope everyone had a great 4th yesterday and enjoyed some fireworks. I got to see the ones down the street when I took the puppy out. As I am writing this, the rains have finally started. It’s been expected all day and it’s finally getting here. Of course, I am writing this at midnight, so I guess that constitutes morning. Oh how I love a good thunderstorm – the thunder, the lightening – love to watch it all! Wow this is one heck of a storm. The streets are already flooded, the house is shaking with the thunder, the sky is glowing with lightening, and I think I hear a car alarm off in the distance. Oh my it just makes my heart race!!!!

I finally finished up the last of my ATC swaps yesterday using more new rubbah! I told you. I acquired enough stuff recently to stamp something new every day for quite some time. So for this little card I decided to use a new image from The Cat’s Pajamas, Animal Train. I stamped the image in Brilliance Graphite Black on Neenah Solar White Cover and colored the image with Copic markers. The background piece I ran through the Cuttlebug using the Spots and Dots Embossing Folder.
