We're Home Again!

Hello again everyone, and let's hope you are all having a wonderful weekend........in between the raindrops, or whatever else Mother Nature has in store for you.  We made it home Friday from a lovely 3 week vacation to England and France, and now we need to do a major catch up here at home.  Honestly, with all the rain while we were gone, in some areas of our property the grass is two feet high!  Can't complain though, we had 3 weeks of lovely weather while away (sigh), and this afternoon the sun did peak through for a couple of hours.

I will show some pictures in another post, and let you know some of the happenings, but for now here's a card I made a while ago but hadn't yet shown.  I think I'm suffering from withdrawl, not having posted a card for 3 weeks!  lol

Here I've used a clear mini stamp from Inkadinkado, called Sleepy Owl.  For the background paper, I've used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on a light beige cardstock, which I've then sponged with blue DI.  With the addition of some black cardstock elements for contrast, and a limited amount of bling and ribbon, I think this card will work perfectly when I need such a card for a guy!

Thanks for visiting me again, and maybe I've given you a few ideas.  Otherwise, maybe you would like to check out these challenges for some further inspiration.
