Dynamic Duos and my Turtle card

 Hello!
We survived Monday!  My husband is on vacation this week and is just staying home and getting some odd jobs done.  I was able to take my oldest son Caleb out on a date today!  It was super fun to be out with him.  He and I don't get much alone time together since we usually have his little brother with us!  He sure is a sweetheart!

I tackled the Dynamic Duos challenge this week!  I must say I do enjoy challenges!   I may need a calendar just to keep track of them all though!!!  I don't think there are enough days in the week to do them all!

The challenge this week was to create a card using the Bold and Sassy colours the Design Team chose - Real Red and Island Indigo!  I would never have put those two colours together but they did and I think they look just fine together!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Real Red
DSP: Summer Smooches
Stamps: Betsy's Blossoms, My Friend
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Island Indigo
Other: Basic Rhinestones

Okay...so yesterday was one of my best friend's birthday...her and I have known each other since Grade 6.  She works with endangered species and LOVES turtles so I decided I would try and tackle the CAS-ual Fridays challenge (using glitter and bling) to make a card for her.  I attempted to use the Pond Life stamp set to create a cute turtle and dragonfly but in the end I swear it looks like my son made it!  Now, he loves his Auntie and probably would be proud to say he made it...BUT I may need to start over!
Anyhow, I thought I'd post it to say that all card makers have cards that don't turn out exactly as they had planned...but I'm sure my dear friend will know I love her and tried hard to make her a turtle card!!!
