Guess Where We're going????

Hello out there...  Can you believe it?  I managed to get online, but still our internet is having issues.  I certainly hope that a service technician will be out to see us tomorrow.  Hurricane Irene had her fun, now I think it should be my turn, don't you think???  Having internet whenever I wish should be possible, don't you agree?  Oh well...  Another post from me, that I'm going to keep as short as possible....

I couldn't let this challenge get away.  After all, I did make a card for it, and then Boom... We lost internet for more than a day, I'm currently connected through my phone as  modem.  Oh boy, lets hope this works....

Alright,  I created a "Back To School" themed card using TWO of Mo's digital images.  Nope, these weren't meant to go together, but look at these girls, they seem to go PERFECTLY together, and great for a back to school themed card.  NOW can you guess where we're going???  BACK TO SCHOOL.

So I've made this card for the challenge over at Mo's Digital Pencil.  AND for this weeks Stamp Something Challenge, that just so happens to also be "Back to School" themed.

I've got a couple of pictures to show, so hopefully I am able to get them uploaded here without much trouble... If not... well.... I will end up being a GRUMPY BEAR!!  LOL

Well.... I left this post, and I went to bed....  Today is a new day, and STILL no internet....  I'm back on here using my cell phone as a modem, and have tried to decrese my file sizes...  not the greatest quality pictures, but..... we'll see if that helps.....




Heyyyyy..... it worked.... Now lets hope I can get the open view uploaded here.....

NOPE... no such luck... I tried and tried, and it's just not happening.... I guess I will have to post just the front view... This is actually a Z Fold style card, and it's very cool looking when opened up...

I will be back to update this post whenever my regular internet comes back. I'm so frustrated...
Sorry about all of this....

Finally.....  Gee whiz, I am completely worn out from all of my attempts to get this card posted....
We have regained internet service, but still it's a bit slower than it should be....  BUT... That's a good sign that it's at least back to working.  Shhh, Maybe I shouldn't say that just yet, I might end up jinxing myself.....

AND I was able to replace the smaller photo with the actual sized photos, HURRAY!!!!  =)

Alright, now, the reason I showed a close up o that little apple embellishment is because guess what?

I made it out of just ordinary red pieces of cardstock. Except it's layers and layers, and LAYERS of that same red cardstock....  This is about as thick as a piece of chipboard, but it's just ordinary cardstock...  LOL   Pretty cook huh?

Okay, that is all from me for today, I don't think I'm coming back into the editing or posting part of blogger for the rest of today....  *Phew - Wiping Brow*
