Wild Thing!

Happy SONday!! I hope your day is filled with wonderment! 

 I spent a few hours in the craft Cabana last night and it was an absolute 

joy to get inky just because :) 

This stamp set from TAWS is so cute, 

I decided to make a card for my sweet hubby ♥

  He's such a good man and is rarely the recipient of one of my

 homemade cards, so I thought it was about time :)  

We have a private joke about Wild Thing and call each other that 

as a jest now and again ~ having everything to do with our disastrous first camping trip when we were first married.  He thought it would be great fun to take me out into the vast wilderness of the Everglades to go camping, tempting me with visions of canoeing (my fave!), lazy days of fishing and campfire fun.  Well .... let's just say the second it got dark, and all these eyes peered out at us from the forest from , I ran for the car and refused to come out.  We watched a family of raccoons rip a hole in our brand new tent,

steal all our food one item at a time, including opening up the cooler and carting off cans and bottles!  It wasn't until I spotted a panther

sleeking around in the bushes that I screamed at my husband to take me home, except were were 300 miles from home and 50 miles from the nearest hotel!  

So .... we left!

He was not impressed with my camping skills, needless to say 0~0

Hi, my name is Kelly and I don't like rustic camping!

Give me a cabin, or an RV, and we're good :)

In my defense, I had no idea at the time I was 5 weeks pregnant 

with our first baby, our oldest daughter ♥

See, it was my maternal instinct kicking in!!

Yeah.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it :)

And here's my Wild Thing card!

Here's the inspiration photo:

 I went absolutely bananas when I first saw this stamp set because I had looked for it for a long time!  The second I saw it, I had to buy it!  You'll soon be seeing why - a card/post later on this month will explain :)  In the meantime, I inked up another part of the set to create this little cutie.

I used a sketch that I found on Pinterest - I can't remember

for the life of me who posted the sketch so I can't give credit.

If it's yours, thank you!  I adore it!

Using Halloween colors to follow the challenge going on at TAWS,

I kept it with the orange and black colors and wow,

I had a blast making a CAS card!

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Hubby and I are about to head 'into the wild' - our backyard!

We have some overdue gardening, a true adventure into the wilds ..

stay tuned!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

I'll enter this card into the TAWS Challenge, the Pile it On Challenge for "Animals with Character"
