The Challenge #66

Lesley had the most perfect inspiration photo over on The Challenge #66; masculine/nautical.  My son has [sately] returned from Bahrain, and I wanted to send him a WELCOME HOME card.  [Actually, a welcome home to his new digs in Washington State for the next year.] 

Since I didn't have a welcome home stamp [really?!], the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays' Exclamations worked awesome!  I am loving this card, and I hope my son will too.


Thanks Lesley for a fabulous [perfect] challenge! :)


Thanks for stopping by~

Oh my, I LOVE the boldness of this Vicki! This is a fabulous masculine card and good for all sorts of occasions. Your designs really have been jumping out at me from my reader (in a good way of course). So pleased to hear that your son is home safe and sound from Bahrain! Have a lovely day! Hazel xx

Wonderfully awesome card. And I'm so glad your son is safely home!!! I love that greeting, very unusual. And the black and white is perfect here. Why do those stripes go so perfectly with the anchor? I dunno, but it works!!

Fabulous card for your son, Vicki and I'm sure he's going to love it. (Not as much as he loves his mom, but almost!)
