Presenting my challenge card du jour.
FACT: This card fufills the requirements for the Color Challenge 127 posted Tues 8/14 – Blue Bayou, Sahara Sand and Chocolate Chip. Emily is kickin’ butt again with color combos I would never think of.
FACT: This card also fulfills the requirements for the Sketch Challenge 137 posted Weds 8/15. Roxi was going easy on us after a few weeks of curvy lines.
FACT: I am not sure about this card- not one of my favorites. However- I am partial to the shadow of the horse/cowboy in the top left corner behind the main image.
DEETS: All Stampin’ Up! products… Stamp set: Bronc Buster, Paper: Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, Outlaw DSP. Ink: Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou, Sahara Sand, Really Rust, So Saffron. Accessories: Hodgepodge Hardware, Aquapainter, Edge Distressor, Dimensionals.
CREATIVE LICENSE: Yessir… that ol’ cowboy on the horse image.. kinda takes me back… reminds me of the brand, you know- burned into the wood on the barn doors, back home on the ranch, setting all pretty like by the crick, somewheres west of here, down by ol’ man Smokey’s place… (but that would be the Pacific actually, so maybe east instead).
FACT: I’m working now – it’s 0245 hrs Thurs am. I’m a tad delirious. After a quiet 5 hrs, it suddenly became domestic dispute central. In the midst of people with real problems, one crazy lady called. This crazy lady was pretty funny actually…. she called 911 from the payphone from in front of a 24 hr grocery store. She’s actually becoming a regular lately. {FACT: It is widely known among law enforcement, in any city, state or country, that when one crazy moves out of town, another moves in. Sometimes they bring more crazies. It’s the law of the crazies.}
Tonight, she needed a ride home to another city. She didn’t have money to make a phone call, and then said she didn’t want to call either her husband or her boyfriend and wake either of them up for a ride. She also mentioned, for some reason this will make a difference, that she was “having an extremely bad menstrual cycle” and went on to describe how. {sparing you the details!} Now, how the heck would you phrase that on the air!?!! There is no radio code for that, other than 5150. But since 5150 is used so often for so many different things, that it just doesn’t adequately describe the more unusual (or gross) cases. Since that info would never make it on the air, unless for some reason it could hurt an officer of course, we had to just giggle among ourselves in the room. The officers spoke with her and it was decided that she would walk back to her mom’s place down the street for the night. Some people.
