Back from Deadhorse

Well, my husband and I made it back from Deadhorse safe and sound. Actually, the trip went very well. We had great weather and the road was actually pretty good. The views were amazing and I can now say I have seen, and touched, the Arctic Ocean!

Now I can get back to creating and here is my first one for the week.

This one is for a few challenges:

Pile It On: "Farewell to Summer"-make a goodbye, farewell, or miss you card

Paper Cutz Challenge: make a project using some kind of metal (I use brads in the center of the vellum flowers)

Alphabet Challenge Blog: "R is for Roses" (I used a rose stamp I found in my stash)

Card Patterns: I used sketch #79 for the layout of my card

Picture Perfect Creations: black, red, pink and blue

365 Cards: "Digging Deep"-use an item, not paper, that is at least 6 months old (I have had those brads and the ribbon for a while); use 2 sheets of patterned paper you have not used before (the black background paper and the pink flower paper are ones I have not yet used until today); use an embellishment you have had for a year (the vellum flowers have been in my stash for over a year, I can't believe I haven't used them before today...I love them); and use a stamp that you have had for a year but have never used (I have had this rose stamp for a while, I can't even remember when I got it, but I have never used it before).
