Black & White & Red All Over ...

Happy Monday ... hope your weekend was long and wonderful!

Today's frightening card was created for Lisa Somerville's Blogger's Challenge. This week, it's a color challenge: black, white, and a splash of red.

I took the literal interpretation of 'a splash of red' by flicking red paint onto the card front using red acrylic paint on a toothbrush ... kinda looks like something that might be found at the scene of a crime, huh? However, no one was injured or kilt in the making of this card project ... it only looks that way! For all of the challenging deets, clicky HERE.

This card also qualifies for a number of fab challenges ... please refer to the bottom of this post for the complete list. And for the down-low on all of the product I used, check out the Card Recipe, below.

Sooooooooo, Sheila has the courage, if not always the skills, to tackle any home repair project. For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawnmower she once tried to fix.

This weekend, I got stuck offered to ferry Sheila's insane wacky sister, Jill, around town on her errands. (Now, that's a story for another day!) As I was returning her home, she suggested we swing by Sheila's for a quick visit.

I can't say we were surprised when we found Sheila attacking her vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver:

"I can't get this *%#$!* thing to cooperate," she explained when she saw us.

"Say, why don't you drag it out to the garage and show it what you did to the lawnmower?!?" Jill suggested.

Thanks so much for spending part of your busy day with me ... stay safe!

~Hugs,
