Yay! We are finally almost to Friday! This has been a super slow week. It isn't that I really have anything planned this weekend but I do get my Thirty One Gifts order tomorrow which will be fun!Today I am sharing a card that I made for my brother's birthday. He happens to be a big fly fisherman so when I saw the pattern for this super cute card I knew I had to make one for him. The outside is pretty self explanatory. The cardstock is chocolate chip and kraft. I added a little "stitching" on the pockets and lots of chocolate chip sponged on the card to make it look worn. I also just us
ed my finger nail to rough up the edges a bit too. The ties are from a local shop (and may I just add that they are quite ugly!) here in town. Inside I printed the reel from the Doodle Pantry set Reel 'em In on kraft paper leaving room to write my birthday sentiment.This card went off in the mail yesterday. His birthday is Tuesday so I hope that it makes it to him in time with the holiday on Monday so we'll see!
Thursday's are my busy day with Care Net and then Kids in Christ this evening so I'm off to get started! Have a wonderful day and I'll "see" ya tomorrow!

This is great, Lorie. Really a personalized card! Hope your electricity has been restored. Our's was out 24 hours earlier in the week. Last night's storms took it down again but not for as long this time. Have a great weekend. I'm really glad this week is almost over.
