Oh Happy Day!!
What a great morning!! I was allowed to sleep in a bit (6:30am) and when I awoke I was given the awesome news that my ‘adopted’ son, Brigam, will be arriving home from his Mexico mission trip on Friday!! What a great way to wake up 🙂
So… I checked out the sketch challenge today… pretty cool one! I have been waiting in anticipation to use my new “Congrats All Around” set (to be released tonight at the big party!) from My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com). If you have scalloped circles punches, you are going to want this set! It’s a big set with lots of images. Wait til you see the other samples the girls have come up with… soooooo cute!
For my card, I went with male(ish) colors for Brig. I did use scallops, but Brig is a MAN and can take it…lol. I even cut the door on the house so that it is open.. and inviting. The sentiment is handwritten.
Here are the deets:
Stamps: My Favorite Things’ Congrats all Around
Colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, GP White, Memory Box DPs
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics, black fine tip marker
Accessories: brads, black velvet ribbon, HPH ribbon slide, slit punch, oval punches, dimensionals.
TFL!~ and have a HAPPY blessed day!
Another wonderfully put to together and balanced card, Holly. Always love the sentiment done that way. Matching scallops along the two lines are wonderful and the open door is the perfect finishing touch! Blessings to Brig for his trip to serve in Mexico.
This is a great card and loving the color combo…great way to welcome Brigam home!!
Hey Holly!! Does he live with you?? ANOTHER boy in the house?? LOL!! Great card, he’ll love it!!
Love your colors for Brig and the scallops along the two strips are perfect. I’m sure he loved it!
