Joy Wilson Ink: The Pajama Crafter

Buggy Christmas Memories

Hi there!  I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and are making new memories while remembering  traditions.  This card that I am sharing has a pretty funny memory or the story of a memory for me.  I remember always having a green VW bug ornament hanging on the tree with my birth year written on it.  My mom had a green bug that she loved dearly and drove it every year.  One year she decided to take a trip up North to visit my grandparents, leaving my dad behind to work.  As she was traveling through the mountains in the middle of a winter night the engine (in the rear back then), caught fire.  In the meantime as this beloved bug was smoking, I was in a car seat in the back!  We are all okay, and poor ole dad had to come rescue us, but that story has been told every Christmas since.  When I got this stamp, I knew right away she would be colored green.  I hope you could envision this story and cracked a smile.

As for the card, I water colored the image with Arteza real brush markers.  Without further ado…

Products Used:  Recollections Holiday Bash designer paper, hot pink cs, canson xl water color paper, Versafine onyx black ink, Ranger black embossing powder, Arteza real brush water color pens, pink stickles, icicle stickles and Stamping Bella Christmas Bug
