As hubs was hunkering down waiting for the ice storm, I had my toes in the sand at Newport Beach.
My Dad and I attended the BNP Paribas Tennis Tournament in Indian Wells while I visited. It is a spectacular tennis venue with two stadiums and several side courts. That temp shot was at night, during the day it was 90+ degrees; so glad it wasn't me on those courts.
And no trip to California is complete without a stop at In-n-Out Burgers, its a classic.
Now that I am home and unpacked; I took a look at my April birthday list...7 cards need making and I haven't started the Easter cards either. Time to get busy.
First up, for my BIL. I love this embossing folder from Anna Griffin...it is perfect to give an little extra punch and drama to a masculine card. No bling, but some vellum under the sentiment strip, and a few white Nuvo drops for added texture. I was inspired by Michele's last posting.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

What a pretty card, Cat, love the textured background, and those leaves are classic -love them in dp! Glad you're back home and thanks for the share of CA pics!
I've never seen that EF before Cat . . . love it too (now I've seen it). Great idea putting the vellum behind the sentiment strip to add just a little something extra! Have a lovely Sunday! Luv n’ Hugs. Hazel xx
