Enjoy the Journey and WOYWW

This is what is on my workdesk today.  I love the blueprint stamps by Tim Holtz, and I made a quick card for my friend who has turned 50 and is taking a motorcycle trip from Mass. to Florida.  Perfect for him.

I have some fantastic news!  I am scheduled to take a class with Tim on Saturday in Connecticut, and I am so excited!  He is teaching at Beautiful Impressions in Westbrook,  and is using lots of  new products in this class.  Look for the finished project in a future post.

There are also a few other card fronts in the making on my desk.  If you want to see other interesting workspaces, check out Julia's Stamping Ground, where crafters from around the world show what they have been up to.

I'm entering this card in a few challenges-
Color Throwdown with these beautiful colors, and CASology- Word.  I used 3 words, they are heartfelt and to the point!

Thanks for stopping by,  I hope you have time to leave a comment.  I'll be sure to visit you back if you have a blog!

    Wow, Barb, that is such the perfect card for his exciting bike trip. I am bookmarking this as inspiration for a future card for my biking Mister!

    Thanks for coming by to visit me and for the wonderful visual of your son hypnotizing the froggies by rubbing their bellies. I'm so jealous and that experience has now been added to my Bucket List!!

    Have a wonderful week! Darnell #32

    Fun card, love the colors, and wishing lots of fun with TIM...Running late, but being gone the 2 days wore me out! Drove home in a snow storm, still very cold, strong winds, and snow on the ground here. Unreal.
    Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend
