I've made several cards over the past few days, but my organization in taking photos and getting them posted is abysmal! Net result: I'll be inundating you with a series of posts, or maybe inundating a post with a series of cards! Whatever unfolds, a huge THANK YOU should you pop by for a visit (or several) to catch up on what I've been doing. One of these days I'll get my act together-ish!
Today, I'm racing into The Male Room~Shades of Blue challenge with my extremely simple, yet *you-won't-believe-how-long-this-actually-took-me-to-make* card for my brother. It's a 'just because' card...because I know he, like the rest of us, is missing my dad. Lots. I want him to know I love him. Lots.
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
Hugs...
NOTE: Honoured and thrilled to be selected as a Shades of Blue winner at The Male Room Challenge. THANK YOU!!

Marvelous thinking and way to go with the sisterly love!! I hope you are doing all right!! I know it is hard when you miss your dad!

ReplyDeleteI think it's so wonderful that you and your brother are close. I'm like that with my two also. Your card is really pretty/handsome? heheh! I love using blue for the heart rather than red! A nice change! I'm the same way about making way more cards than I actually post. I'd say more of mine go unposted than posted! (hugs my friend)

ReplyDeleteWhen you find the secret of getting it together, please let me know Carol, because I don't have it together anymore either. lol I wish I did, but I don't and I don't know how I got this way either! Your such a sweet sister making this card for your brother. I can only image how hard it is for you all with missing your dad. This card should help your brother know just how much you love him. It is a gorgeous card and I love how you used the blue to make it more masculine. I love it my friend. Hugs, Brenda
