I used a Hero Arts stamp on both cards. LOVIN' THAT BUG!!!! I always wanted one of these but never got one. No, I wasn't a hippie, but did love the car. When I was a senior in high school my dad surprised me with a vehicle - and I was really keeping my fingers crossed the he'd gotten the "bug", but got a GTO instead. I really don't think he would have ever bought me something like that if he'd had any earthly idea how fast those babies could fly. So I didn't get the "bug" but DID get a lot of guys that wanted me for a girlfriend! LOL!!
I did a lot of paper piecing on this first card to kinda jazz it up a bit. Um......actually did pretty much the same paper piecing on the second one too.....of well... The sentiment I used on this is from Hero Art.
I'll enter this in the challenges at Simon Says Stamps Challenge (paper piecing) and at Totally Stampalicious (paper piecing).
I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches and will enter it in their challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by..........and have a great weekend.

How crisp and fresh looking these cards are, Lynn. I like the first one, it is more your style - CAS, which I LOVE.
Anyway, the second one is lovely too with the heart embossing. The font of the sentiment is so neat.
I read the compliments you gave to Aleeza - thanks a heap. Atleast one of my girls is doing art and craft.
Love,
Monica
I love, love both cards! I think I like the second one the best since I'm so nuts about red!
Love the paper piecing on these fab cards.xxx
Oh Lynn, I LOVE these cards! Great paper piecing, and I actually prefer the 2nd one! The polka dot ribbon breaks everything up and perfectly balances all the red! LOVE that little bug!
Both of these love bugs are adorable. Love the paper piecing.
Oh I love both these cards, the striking colours are fab. Lovely to see you at The Sweet Stop this week. xx
Two fun cards!!!
Didn't we all want a bug!? I still think of it today.....a little convertible.....toolin' around in it.
There's still time for both of us to get one!!
Love the embossed hearts on the 2nd card!
Great job!
How fun is the image Paper Pieced. Love how different both of your cards are using the same image. I cannot imaging you in a fast car- Born to Be Wild- the tune- is in my head for some reason.....! Hehehehe
These are fabulous Lynn, loving the colour combination and the sentiment on the first card.

I love bugs too! it's totally adorable paper-pieced - and I'm loving that heart embossing too! I had to laugh at getting a GTO instead...that seems like a CRAZY car to get a kid!
I love how these are the same but different! Great layouts and fantastic job of paper piecing!
I absolutely love them both, Lynn! I don't generally use red except at Christmas and for Valentines but I don't think the second card has too much red. Nope, it has exactly the right amount. :-D Love your take on the sketch for that one.
Hi Lynn, it is me again. The love stamp on my latest card was sent by you!!! I LOVE it. Thanks so much. Sorry that I am not putting this in an email.
Love,

How adorable is that buggy!! Both cards are so cute, I love the red. Red is my fav color.
These are great fun Lynn! I love the top one especially with all that white space and those fabulous red lines.
Love your "bug" Lynn. The details with the paper piecing really make it a "love bug" for Valentine's Day. I did see a bit of Texas as we flew into the Huston airport on our way home.
Fabulous Lynn - love you paper piecing on the bugs.
Blessings

I never had one of these cars either, but always wished I did. I still ask DH to get me one!
I LIKE red...not too much for me. The white tones it down too. We used to own a bug (long years ago) and I loved the paper piecing. Like the way you used the diecuts to frame Little Lovebug. So cute. Good luck in the challenge. TFS
Both of these are great, but you know me and my love for CAS! I think the first is my favorite.
I had to laugh at your Bug story. I'm sure just about anyone would call the GTO an 'upgrade' from the Bug!! I always wanted one too and ended up with an old Rabbit for a while. Not at all the same thing...
