Happy Friday, y'all! We just had a parent-teacher conference with Ryan's teacher and she said he's very smart (no surprise there) and wiggly (also not a surprise). She had good things to say about him and said that she's going to give him opportunities to do more challenging stuff, which is good because he gets bored easily.
Anyway, I made a card yesterday and here it is:
Okay, I was silly on Sunday and made a Halloween card for the Paper Players challenge, so I had to give it another go with a more traditional card. The hubs and I have our 21st wedding anniversary coming up next week, and that sentiment from Silhouette Scenes felt particularly appropriate since he was deployed over our last anniversary. So here's the Paper Players challenge:
And I love the mood board from Inkspirational:
This was actually the challenge I started with when I made my haunted house card, which is where the Azure Afternoon came in, but it ended up being pretty far away from this mood board which is why I had to have another go at it. Once again the Thoughtful Journey DSP stack came to my rescue with the Lost Lagoon wash and the background with warm colors, plus just a bit of purple peeking out on one side which I liked because our wedding colors were royal blue and royal purple. I decided to go with some florals and greenery thanks to the Atlantic Hearts sketch:
This is my first time playing along over there. I didn't put a bow on my card because, y'know, it's going to a dude, but otherwise I tried to stick close to the sketch. I did, however, cover the Cajun Craze flowers with Wink of Stella because I just have to glitterfy everything ; )
That's it for me today, peeps. The hubs has an MRI this afternoon to check how he's healing after his surgery, and then we're taking Ryan to see The Wild Robot. Cheers!

Christy... loving your fall love card! Wishing you a wonderful anniversary. Thanks for sharing your joy at The Paper Players this week!
That's a lovely rich cluster of flowers! It really highlights that great sentiment. I like the stitched detailing around the die cuts as it gives a nice finish. Thanks for joining in with my theme challenge at The Paper Players.
The card is beautiful. I love the background you created and I could feel that it was created with love. Happy Anniversary! Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
