Today's Lesson From The Craft Room: Go For A Bike Ride!!!!
Did you watch the Tour de France???? Had you asked me that question about 6 years ago I would likely have responded, "The what?!?!" That all changed about 6 years ago when I happened upon the channel that was broadcasting the bike race and I got hooked! I'm not sure what it was that drew me in - maybe how the group of bikers (the peloton) moved together like a swarm of bees. Or maybe it was just all that lycra? Either way, it captivated me and I have watched every year since! It is almost impossible to watch the stages of the Tour de France without getting totally motivated to get on a bike and ride! No, you don't have to go out and buy all the fancy gear or the $12,000 Trek Madone bike (can you imagine?!). Just dust off whatever bike is leaning up against the wall in your garage and take it for a spin! It made me feel like a kid again, minus the banana seat and the tassels hanging from the handlebars :) I am looking forward to taking more journeys on my bike and feeling the wind in my face! How 'bout you?Today's card was inspired by the need to make a quick birthday card. I looked through my stamps and the tree stamp from Season of Friendship called out to me...as did a pencil eraser :) Pencil erasers are a great addition to your stamp collection! Here is a video to show you how I made this card - Enjoy!!!

Cute card. That would be a great project to do with kids. I love that you added the glitter.
My husband and I recently treated ourselves to new bikes. I had to laugh when I read your comments on the Tour de France and the swarm of bees. We went for a ride on Sat. and were attacked not by bees, but by greenhead flies - the biting kind. I've never pedaled so fast in my life though I would not have come close to the Tour de France speed! We learned a valuable lesson or two (bug spray as well as sunscreen in the future!).
