This week at
it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying (singing), "Here I Go Again" which means that she wants to see those projects that have to do with travel. Off we go!
This is what I did.....
I'll admit, I struggled with this theme. Maybe it's because I'm not much of a traveller...even when we can travel. I just couldn't seem to come up with anything for the longest time and thought I was going to end up with something I wasn't happy with. But then, as I looked in my digi Sentiments folder in desperation, I saw this stamp from Create With Tlc, and it all just fell together. Like, instantly. I remembered that bit of looks-like-a-road ribbon and the felt car embellishment, and bam, done.
Actually, another amazing thing happening during the making of this card. I. Completely. Used. Up. A. Pack. Of. Embellishments. First time that has happened in over ten years of papercrafting. In fact, I think this pack of felts cars was one of the first embellishments I had ever bought. So, one down *glances over at embellishment tower o' drawers*.....a f%^kload to go.
Why not give our challenge at go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

What an awesome card!! That little felt card is fabulous - and the road ribbon is just perfect!! I think we were inspired by the same craft gods as we've both got a similar design and idea!! Perhaps that's why I'm so taken with your card!!

This is a super male card, the little red felt card is so sweet and like you, I have lots of embellishments just waiting for that 'one' card that just fits.
