MFW - Get Inspired the Pot Pourrie Challenge



OK, I lied this is my last post of the weekend :o)

Here is where you will find Cath's post ~ I'm on my way over to check out the always-fabulous entries:http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/11/card-creations-get-inspired-week-pot.html

I instantly thought of the word "Reflect" when I saw this image on this MFW~Get Inspired Challenge...the "R" monogram, the old fashioned furnishings, the doilies my Grandma used to crochet, the sepia coloring ~ all reminders to "Reflect on the Past".

So, this is what I came up with for a Birthday card ~ and, yes, I do have someone in mind for this one, but won't reveal his name, cause his birthday is a few months away :)

My card ~
I tried to capture the last bit of daylight outside and I think it's staying light a tad longer ~ YAY!
No stamps used here. The words were printed in dark grey (although it looks blue in the photo) from my computer in different fonts and the binoculars and eyeglasses are Rub-Ons from Michael's $1.00 Spot
Card stock: Smokey Blue base card, white and black are from DCWV

Thank you for visiting me ~ I can't tell you enough how I appreciate your comments. This is such a great way to meet new bloggers, donchya think? :o)
