THANK YOU SO MUCH

Good morning, first I want to make an announcement. I reached 160 followers... WOO HOO.... (as I show excitement) As I said yesterday, if I got to 160 followers, I would add another prize to the candy. Now there will be 2 winners instead of 1. The second prize will be kept a surprise just because I don't have a lot of time today for taking the picture. But, know that it will be great. Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments and making my anniversary so nice. There is still time to get in on the drawing, it does not end until November 19, 2010.

Now, I do have a card to post. About a month ago my friends and I went on our annual scrapbooking  retreat. This is the retreat where last year, I made my first card and became aquainted with Copic markers.  And don't forget, I was not impressed with either. (Now look at me). Isn't it amazing how much can change in a years time? Anyway, last year we bought the owner a rocking chair to thank him for giving us his cabin for the weekend, free of charge. (This cabin is not your usual cabin).  This year, we cooked him and his wife dinner and took it to them and served them. But, my friends asked me to make him a thank you card. Not my usual style of card with lots of bling and flowers and ribbons. This card had to manly. Well, I decided to use one of the photos that I took of the weekend from their outside deck. The area is gorgeous. The cabin sits right on the river and the view from every side is awesome. So here is my thank you card.

The card base is bazzill, the DP is from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment stamp is one that I bought on clearnce some where. The fall colors of the paper were a great choice. We all signed the card on the inside and I stamped a wonderful thank you sentiment. We mailed him the card so I don't know if he liked it or not. The ink used to stamp the senitment was Momento. Yes, there are challenges, though not very many.
