Mornin y'all! The snow is starting to melt here but it's going to take a while. We have a drift in our backyard that's about waist-high, so it's a LOT of snow! We just took Daphne out and she very much enjoys zoomies in the snow. Better enjoy it while she can, our high today is in the 50s :) Looks like Ryan will be back at school tomorrow!
For today's card, I have something unusual:
An all-gray card, on MY blog??? I know, right. I bought Greatest Adventure when it first hit the Online Exclusives and this is the first time I've made a card with it. I like the train image, but the real draw for me is the sentiment stamps; there are several really nice ones in the set. Anyway, Inspire. Create. has the all-gray challenge that was the genesis of my card:
And I paired that with the Festive Friday challenge:
I got twine, neutral colors (nothing but grays here), and texture. That embossed piece has been sitting in my Smoky Slate scraps for probably years; I started getting rid of my embossing folders because I just don't use them ever but I thought I could use that piece for this card.
That's it for me today, peeps. Daphne chewed up the remote control for the TV yesterday and this morning our computer is acting pretty weird, so I think today I will be doing things that do not involve looking at screens : ) And maybe the hubs will be looking for a new remote control for the TV because I want to watch The Sword in the Stone sometime soon. Good thing Daph is so cute. Cheers!

I think it looks fantastic.
I would never have made a gray-only card without that challenge either, and I LIKE gray, haha. I also love that train and it's sentiments!
I love your layout and the sentiment for your card. It looks great in the grays. Thanks for playing along with Festive Friday!
Great card, Christy!! It's a hard challenge, but you nailed it!!
I was drawn to this challenge too, despite the lack of colour! I love your train card though; lovely texture behind and the stamp set is worth it for that sentiment alone I think - lovely.
This is so striking. I love it. Thank you for linking to the Festive Friday Challenge
I just love your masculine cards and how you used the Inspo list. Thanks for joining us in the Festive Friday Challenge.
