Freshly Made Sketches 21

Hello to all my blogging friends. I hope this post finds you all well and happy!

I had some time yesterday to create a few cards. Today's card inspiration is from Freshly Made Sketches #21. http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com
My DH said he needed a few masculine cards to give to his co-workers/friends who were going through some issues. So I made this card from their sketch.

This is what I came up with;

The stamp set is A Sense of Time -SU and for fun and texture I used two real strips of Bamboo. Men like texture and real natural things he told me. I tried to position the clock so as to appear it was sitting on a mantle. Not quite sure if I achieved that or not?

Thanks for stopping by I have a busy day planned but wanted to play along with Freshly Made. I hope you like the card and find some inspiration from it! I too hope you find some time to play today. Creating is Good for the Soul!

Lab Rescue L.R.C.P Inc.

We love Labs and when Bear passed away last year I knew in time that I would get another Lab. I ran across an amazing Lab Rescue/Adoption site and spoke with a really nice lady named Robyn. She lead us through a very thorough application process and we finally adopted Cole. He is a 2 yr old Black Lab. Now he and Marley are best buds. Cole's transition from foster care to adopted was very smooth. Bob the cat even tolerates him as well! If you are interested in adopting a Lab please visit their site. www.lab-rescue.org They are a non profit organization Tell them Patrice and Cole said to say hello.
