Morning all, hope you've had a good week. It's been busy here as Hubby has been away for a few days- a little jolly with his besties! So apart from the day my friend stayed over I've been home alone...with Marvin! He was such a good boy, he did sulk a bit and lurked around by the front door for most of the first day, but after that he decided that I needed to be protected and didn't leave my side, he even slept in my bedroom, which he never does normally. We were up and out early as that's his normal routine (not as early as my husband takes him...but he's an alien and gets up at the crack of dawn- I am definitely not a morning person but it didn't seem fair to make Marvin wait for too long! I've lost count of the number of times I've walked around the woods with him but it was a pleasure, everything is so beautiful just now, lovely fresh new leaves and plenty of bluebells. As a bonus we didn't get wet once- so lucky!
Now onto my card- it's my DT make for this fortnight's challenge over at Crafty Catz, no sponsor and no prizes this time, but you could be one of Top 3 and win a fabulous badge for your blog!
Rhoda is hosting and has picked the optional twist of 'For A Boy'
I made this card for my teenage nephew, it was so quick and easy to make as there's no image or colouring...or even any stamping,. I used a brick wall EF on the white panel and flicked a little ink on it, apart from that it's all die cuts.
Thanks for visiting today, have a great weekend
Chris

It sounds like you had quite the adventure with Marvin while your husband was away! It's heartwarming to hear how protective and attentive he was during your time alone. Your card for Crafty Catz's challenge is fantastic; the textured brick wall and subtle ink flicks add a wonderful dimension, making it perfect for a teenage boy.
Great design and perfect masculine card Chris.
