Right Where I Need To Be


Right Where I Need To Be by Gary Allan is "our" song, I guess, because the hubby and I had a long-distance dating relationship of two years before getting married. This led me to think of a target, being right where you need to be, being on target, etc. so this card came to be. I like listening to Gary sing the song, but I do like my husband's better... he's got a rather good voice and for some reason can remember all the words to any song.


The theme at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge is Love Song: Create a clean and simple project inspired by a love song. The sponsor this week is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Please stop by the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog for inspiration from the Girl Fridays, read about the challenge rules and details, and find out more about the prize!


To give the card a bit of interest, I did trim around the feathers of the arrow and mounted a piece of yellow card stock under the blue panel.

What a wonderful card Karen, and a great story too! I can only remember 'my' own words to any song, and for some reason they don't seem to make any sense lol!
