Happy Tuesday, peeps! Hope all are doing well...thinking of those affected by Hurricane Debby! The weather forecasters predict it will probably hit PA on Saturday...just when we were planning a boat ride on John's new boat! Anyway, I whipped up a little card yesterday using the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown sketch for the month:
I had about a bazillion ideas for this and my final product didn't use any of them! I found some unused papers in my stash from Kaisercraft and went to work:
The papers on the card base have leaping deer on it, amongst the trees, so that was my thought when adding the Memory Box deer. Unfortunately, the center panel covered them up, LOL! But I continued with my deer and snowflake theme anyway! The corner panels have a border of Lost Lagoon; the center panel is Crumb Cake and the deer is Evening Evergreen, accented with a little sequin! I stamped the panel with some snowflakes and Christmas words, then sponged some white ink around the edges:
Not exactly what I had envisioned, but the end result was okay! Thanks for popping in today!
SO now we have a boat:
We had a little sailboat for several years but sold it a few years back. John's been looking for this particular make and model of power boat ever since! This was the maiden voyage, after many, many hours of engine repair, other repairs and hours and hours of cleaning in the hot sun! He is one happy boater right now. I haven't been on it yet, but I look forward to some cool river air very soon! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands. Nor does he need anything that we can supply by working for him, since it is he himself who gives life and breath and everything else to everyone. Acts 17:24-25

LeAnne, I don't have any trouble imagining the prancing deer on that sweet paper - and I LOve your die cut one with his handsome scarf. Such a beautiful way to use that fun sketch.
ReplyDeleteNow, about that boat - I'm dying to know what her name is... and will there be fishing?? We're in! The captain looks mighty happy!

Even if you covered it up you know that this deer is perfect for the paper! Great mix of papers too!

I really miss our boating days on the lake in Michigan. I may have to drop by for a boat ride! Enjoy your summer on the water!
Super cute Christmas card! Love the papers and your leaping deer as the focal point! Awesome job with the challenge, too! A new boat...how fun!! John must be thrilled! Does he fish? Hope you soon get out to take a nice ride!
ReplyDeleteI echo all the comments above. The first thing I noticed about John was his smile. She's a beauty and can't wait to see pics of you and the family enjoying the river. Hope Debby leaves you alone!
