Really enjoyed doing the challenge today: "No Place like Home."
I don't have my own home! I was thinking, "Should I do the challenge?"
Right now, my family and I are living with my In-Laws and they do have a beautiful home! My daughter and I were crafting together and I started to think, "What is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of HOME?" I pictured being out ALL day. Whether out running errands, at a local fair, or on our way home from a long trip and the first thing that came to mind was my In-Laws couch! Just being so anxious to get home so I can sit and relax on my In-Laws couch! It's SO comfortable! The minute I walk in the door, I just want to sit down on that couch and RELAX. Also, its in the living room which is where we spend most of our time together! I chose one of the pillows on their couch that I absolutely love for my inspiration. That's what I think about when I think of HOME! Comfy, cozy and relaxing!
Hope you like my card!

Beautiful card!!! And I agree, that couch is pretty inviting!! And I 'm glad that for this time we are calling the same place "home" cuz it's great getting to know you better and better and better. Love you Jenna!!~

Lovely rich warm feeling from this. Looks as if you've picked up the couch perfectly from what I can see of it. And if home isn't relaxing - I don't think it's home then .

What a beautiful card!! All your details are so beautiful...but even more beautiful, is the loving thoughts you have towards your in-laws. That is something special indeed!

Great story to go with your card...maybe someday when you get your own home your inlaws will let you take that pillow!
Nice card, nice shades of color in the flowers and I also like the gold embossing.
