Arty Girlz - Pockets

This week's theme over on Arty Girlz is pockets. I am pushed for time this week & might not get my usual challenges done. I go away on Friday for a Scrap Retreat & still have to go to work until Thursday evening. I began making this card some time ago & then it got put to one side. It was my full intention for this to be an Autumn birthday but it got "lost" in my piles of paper & inks & I only discovered it last week after a good clear up!!! As it fits the theme of pockets I decided to complete it instead of trying to come up with something else when 3/4's of all my craft materials are packed & ready to go!!!!
The only thing left to pack is my bear, Spencer. He is very excited about out little trip, but it won't be quite as big & grand as the Castle in October 2006. It is however a very large farmhouse with landscaped grounds & a stream running through. So he will hear nothing but birds & gentle running water. Oh, & 9 women laughing & having a great time......
hmmm! I must check if he's sure he still wants to come???
