I love Karren's Sketch #637 so much I made another card! Thanks, Karren, and Freshly Made Sketches! this time, I turned that Sketch around:
One might wonder why there isn't a frog sitting on one of these
[Altenew] lotus leaves!
Due to a disappointing location, we cut our trip short ... the hour spent on the Ambassador Bridge [each way no less] could not have helped... live and learn, we say. Besides, there's no place like home - especially for the holiday weekend!

Oh dear, sorry to hear that your trip went a bit wrong. I always say that the best thing about going away is coming home again! you are right, home is the best place. love the card, of course. Great colours and an interesting landscape design xx
ReplyDeleteThere you go again -- another clever use of the sketch and so very pretty! An hour on the bridge each way... must be the Memorial weekend traffic I'm guessing. I'm sorry your weekend didn't turn out quite as planned, but I agree that there's no place like home.
ReplyDeleteooh yes, I don't tend to travel anywhere on a 'long weekend' (we call them), I also avoid school holidays but now that is getting harder as they have spread them out over the year, maybe I'll just stay a hermit and be at home making cards lol. This is beautiful Michele... and another set I think I put into purge that I may have to rethink, it's those leaves, your colouring is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell shucks, sorry your trip was a bust. On the bright side, you got to make this pretty card! Happy Memorial Day to you and Tom!
ReplyDeleteThose florals are gorgeous, and yes, I feel like a little frog would look right at home on one of those leaves! Sorry your trip went awry! There's no place like home is right!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet - pretty greens and blues! And yes holiday travel is never fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Oh man, sorry about the vacation diappointment. That's a bummer!
ReplyDeleteI love that sketch in landscape, thanks for turning it around.
ReplyDeleteSorry your trip was disappointing. Home is the best place. Love your beautiful card and the colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and looks perfect in the horizontal position too! Sorry to hear about your weekend plans not panning out...hopefully the next road trip goes better!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThese colors are so pretty, Michele! I love this orientation and the off the edge design! Holiday traffic is the worst! Sorry your little getaway didn't work out. I'm sure you found something fun to do at home.
ReplyDeleteSuper creative take on the sketch! Feels like old times at CTS! Sorry to hear about your trip--maybe try again on a non holiday weekend?
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous take on our sketch ! So fresh and striking! Thanks again for joining in this week's FMS party!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Michele! I just felt this beauty was a winner and I was right! Chicken dinners all around!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your getaway was a disappointment, Michele. But I'm glad it gave you more time to make this fabulous card. And a winning one no less.
