Hello Monday!! My hubby and step daughter came home yesterday evening!!! She has grow into a young lady in a year since I saw her last. She is only 2 inches shorter than me!!! I'm glad my hubby is back....I sure missed him!! He feels like he will get the job,the interview went really well!! We should know something within two weeks,so keep those prayers coming!!!

Holley! That's a great masculine card! The shading on the card stock along with the eyelets and twine compliment the image so well. Just terrific!

This is a GREAT masculine card. I have that stamp set too - one of the few that is perfect for masculine cards. Thanks for participating in the sketch challenge.
