Happy Saturday! It's been a gorgeous day here - sunny but cool and dry. Atticus has really enjoyed it as we took him for a swim, played ball and went for a walk. Now he's totally crashed out on his bed paddling his paws and dreaming doggie dreams - probably about those chickens he didn't manage to catch on his walk! LOL! Anyway, on to my card which is for the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect challenge and also for the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp. I was inspired by the colors, the colour block bedding, the white bird on the wooden dresser and the studs on the headboard. It turned out as quite a masculine card and I like the graphicness of it.
Now I'm off to hit the shower. Tomorrow is Luis' birthday and also my mom's birthday so we're going to dinner tonight with some family. Next Sunday is my brother's birthday and my goddaughter's Christening and at the end of the month is my dear friend Louise's birthday. A very busy month!

ReplyDeleteThis so caught my eye, Jen, wonderful colour blocking, lots of texture and the white birdie on the orange is so crisp and perfect ... white ink/embossing on anything doesn't seem to work so well for me ... more practice needed I think! Anita :)
