Retro Sketches 96 Challenge Card and FUNNY crafts (?) photo

I’m in my “Happy Little Place” when I create, and when I get to create with my sister Nina and my Sister in Law Judy at the same time, well its all the sweeter.  What a nice way to start the year.  Here’s the Retro Sketches #96 challenge they invited me to:

I decided to make my card like this:

I had a set of TomBow markers on my Christmas Wish list and was so happy that my Mr “GOT IT” that these to me would be as cherished to me as a piece of new technology would be to him.  I’ve wanted these for a long long time.  So, now its getting used to them. 

I ♥ all the images at Graphics Fairy - I print them onto fine art paper and they are crisp and beautiful, then I color and “fussy cut” them with sharp scissors.  I must say the TomBow markers are beautiful - just takes some getting used to blending etc.  

Thanks a heap for visiting!

Ok… I consider myself an extreme crafter, but THIS?   Wow.  What can one say?  My mind begs the question - is the lovely crochet keeping the bike rack warm?  Is it to buffer a bike or pet leashed to it?  Is it just to prettify things up on our main street.  At any rate, I’m impressed haha!
