Just Sittin' Here.........Missin' You!!!

As you know, my honey-pie is in Calgary working. He has been gone for a week and a half now.....and we miss him!! sniff, sniff! Over the weekend, Emileigh and I were able to talk to him on MSN. My laptop, which he has with him in Calgary, has a built in camera and microphone and we have a camera on our end too. So we were able to see each other and we could hear him and of course we were typing back and forth. We had a couple of long sessions and it was so much fun!! Then while I was at work yesterday, he called to check in and let me know that he will be flying home on Friday night!!! Yaaaay!!

So I made this card with him in mind and emailed it to him yesterday!! My good friend Donna loaned me this Whipper Snapper stamp and I stamped it on watercolour paper and coloured him in with my SU markers. Now I orginally started out with some Basic Grey designer paper for this card, but after colouring it and playing with the layout, I decided to nix the dp. I think it looks much better without it!

I used Chocolate Chip for the square card base and layered on Almost Amethyst and also used So Saffron for matting. I used my cosmetic sponge and CC ink to 'dirty it up' and distress the edges......hmmm....I seem to like things dirty don't I??? *giggle* I used my wide CC grosgrain ribbon and some Prima Flowers and also some Making Memories flowers and silver brads. The sentiment is made using my Karen Foster Snap Stamps but I know there is a matching sentiment from Whipper Snapper that says the same thing. I miss my honey!!

Now don't forget to join in this week's challenge and get 'dirty' too!!!
