~Going Places~
May 29th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Good morning to ya!
Today’s Ways To Use It Challenge (WT168-get packing), got me. I have packing tape, duct tape, all kinds of tapes, but do you think I could think of ONE thing to do this morning with my limited time? Noooooooo. So I went with safe and chose the travel theme instead. Besides, my auntie and uncle are leaving on a trip to Amsterdam in a few weeks. I thought a Bon Voyage card would be in order :).
The dress is paper pieced, then the entire image is cut and popped on dimensionals. I use to have tons of travel themed papers.. we had a travel theme month when I was on the dirty dozen team. Do you think I can find those puppies, now? LOL.. nope.
Well, it’s our anniversary today. Twenty six (26) years. And they said it wouldn’t last.. heehee. We are not celebrating too much…. possibly a dinner out, but we’ve decided that a cruise for our 30th is what we really want, so we are in the planning stages! I’m bucking for western caribbean, while DH would like to see Alaska. Hopefully, we come to some agreement or we’ll be taking separate cruises! 🙂 Just kidding.
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: Going Places by My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com)
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, DCWV DPs.
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics, white gel pen for accents.
Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, circle punch, scallop punch, scissors.
TFL!~ and have a blessed day.
I really like this, it has that look I just cannot seem to accomplish…
Amsterdam is a wonderful place – lived there for a year when I worked with Billy Graham. Lots of wonderful things to see, GREAT food, lots of English spoken around and the people are friendly. Sure they will love the card too 🙂
I vote for the cruise to Alaska if you are departing from Vancouver because then I can come down tot he pier and meet you :). I hear it is a gorgeous scenery there, but definitely not sit-by-the-pool-deck type of weather. I think I’d actually go for the Western Caribbean myself.
Sorry for rambling! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and I do hope you get to enjoy a lovely dinner out. Blessings.
Love it Holly! Happy Anniversary and as for the cruise, go check out Tim Holtz’s blog for his video of his cruise to Alaska. Simply stunning. I have been on a Caribbean cruise but now that I have seen his journey I think I would like to cruise Alaska……….
Love the card, and Happy Anniversary!!
I vote for western Caribbean too! 🙂
