Framed Hello...MUSE #11

We're on the road...again...so I have but minutes to upload my "travel-made" entry for MUSE before we return to the car to embark on the last leg of our journey home.  Our trip was fantastic, but, as many trips to BEND are, too short!  We left the charming city on Wednesday, and following a 12 hour drive, arrived at my husband's parents' home in Kelowna, where we've been since.

I started my card for MUSE #11 in Bend, then finished it off during a bit of 'sneak away' time while my mother-in-law was busy making a chocolate-chocolate chip-banana loaf.  Spoiling and pampering: love it!   Laurie's inspiration card was perfect, because I'd just received my first sets of The Alley Way stamps from the wonderful Alison, who shipped them to me at our vacation rental.  What better way to try out "Doodle Frames" then with a MUSE debut!
Laurie's gorgeous card:

and my version:

I was aiming for more 'vibrant' colours, which is why I added the butterfly and  pearl (oddly enough, I found it stuck to a piece of scrap paper I'd tossed into my little container...serendipity, perhaps?), but the paper pad I brought along is predominately 'pastel.'  Note to self:  'travel kit' needs more variety!

Off to gather my things, then settle in for a six+ hour drive through the mountains, and the drizzle...

Thanks for stopping by, and please know that your comments are both welcomed and appreciated, deeply!
