Awesome Day

 Hello-

I am back from my break.  We visited Vic's folks for his Dad's birthday, and I took a few extra days to both get ready for the trip and recuperate afterwards.  For likely the first time, we came home to a clean house in the sense that it didn't look like we had packed frantically at the last minute leaving a tornado like debris field in our wake.  

It was lovely returning to an orderly home, and I think I will keep that in mind for the future.

I haven't crafted in quite awhile, and the easiest way for me to get back to it is to play in challenges.

Three challenges inspired this card. AAA Card Game, Time Out Challenges, and Watercooler Wednesday.


Thank you so much for visiting, and I will be back to commenting on your creations tomorrow.  Its overwhelming to comment on all those I missed while I took my break, so I am starting tomorrow anew.

 

 

Stamps: Technique Tuesday Carnation Friend w/die, SSS Tilted Banner Sayings w/Die.

Welcome home, and to the saddle again, Cat! Seems you haven't missed a trick - beautifully colored!
I take coming home to a clean house pretty seriously - even the linens get changed! Seems like forever since we've been very far - so glad you had a little get-away!

I love coming home to a clean, tidy house, but I do know what a rush it can be getting ready to go. It's good to see you back and hear that you had a nice beak. A beautiful carnation today and so much impact from the card overall when you consider the creamy red card base. Lovely, Cat!

Glad you could see family & that you're back safe & sound! Lovely card! I do like colored card bases, but don't use them that often.

Very pretty card - I love how you used the red card base to highlight that pretty bloom. Thanks so much for playing along with us at TIME OUT!
