Happy Happy Monday. I am so pleased to tell you I am the hostess this week for Bitten By The Bug2 ... For many folks, summer months usually mean vacation travels so I picked just that for my theme this week. .. Folks are heading to destinations that call to them, or to visit loved ones .... they take trains, planes, buses....and if I were planning a vacay, I would climb in my car. No, I don't own a Chevrolet anymore but I had a few in my life starting with my very first car, a 1949 Chevrolet painted a horrid color of bronze. My next car was a 1953 turquoise Chevrolet Bel Air, followed by a 1954 Red and white Chevry Bel Air, then a 1957. My very first brand new car was a 1962 Chervolet Nova II and I was so proud of that little sweet car...
My card was fun to make, but a little frustrating because I ran into design issues, color themes, layout but in the long run this is what I came up with. A little street scene in some quaint city USA.
The sign is computer generated, and I even added a tiny little license plate that says "Chev". We used to watch Dinah Shore who sang this song so well..... The buildings are from Heritage, and the little cloud drifting overhead is from April Showers. Hope you like my little vacation scene.

Love this Carole! The sentiment is perfect! We had the Dream Cruise here this weekend, perfect timing!
LOL!!! My first car, when my 4 kiddies were all little, was a Chevy Malibu station wagon. Plenty of room to pack up and go in that thing. It was an older model, and they just don't make them as roomy as they used to!
Girl, these colors scream "HAVE SOME FUN". Your scene is just fabulous!
Carole, I love this. I can just see Dinah Shore singing this. Love this scene.
Cute, cute card! Are we dating ourselves with that old commerical?!! I love your building and that little car is sweet!! My first car I had to take over the payments on my mother's car and she got a new one. lol But later I got a new 79 Camero. Now just give me a pracatical car!!! lol Hugs!
Well darn, I have to admit how old I am now because I totally remember Dinah Shore singing that catchy little tune. I love your little scene you've created. Nice job with that little license plate. The only Chevy I've ever had was a 68 Camaro with a black racing stripe around the front end. Boy was it spiffy.
I so love your vacation scene!!! Makes me want to jump in my car and take off on a road trip! :)
I immediately thought of Dinah when I saw your sentiment. Really took me back. My Dad had Buicks until the 1962 Impala, from then on it was Chevy all the way. This card is absolutely brilliant! Fabulous design. Thanks for a great challenge. xxD
Oh Carole, this card made me smile! It is sooo fun and colorful, and I wanted to hummm along!
