Row row row your boat

Afternoon all! Well the school holidays are over - but that means I get busy again! I suspect my posts won't be quite as frequent as the past fortnight - but I will try to keep up on news and challenges and leave comments as I go!

Today I've got a card I made last night - something is not quite right - but I thought I would post it anyway!!! I bought the stamp on the release - and I'm sure I can come up with something much better at some time in the future - but I was itching to play so here's the result!!!


I've used an embossing folder that features a world map and I was imagining that the girl bear had bought the card for the boy bear and was wishing him bon voyage! This was probably influenced by my lovely husband excitedly telling me all about this new post he's been asked to apply for that would mean him spending 4 months out of each of the next three years abroad! Whilst I want to support him - I would be very sad to see him go! Its a tricky one! Especially when you've got a four year old and a five year old to look after! Anyway, moving swiftly on,  I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Lili's little fairies: transport
Pan Pastel challenge: For the boys
: Crafty Anne's challenge Blog: its a man thing.

Hopefully I'll get chance to make a post tomorrow - It never fails to amaze me just how many different challenges there are out there! Its incredible!

Hugs
