Dress tie

Hi everyone . Welcome to my room .Awesome that you have popped in to browse. Hope that you like what you see. Hi there to new followers too , thank you for joining , I'll see you at your place soon .
The family has gone back home so our little unit is very quiet  now. Both Doug and I were so happy to see Michelle  [ our Daughter] and her family . The Grandsons were so good , happy to do lots of colouring in and play games on the computers when we were not doing touristy things . Our last day together was spent at a park nearby . The weather was almost perfect while they were here but has rained since they left ..
I have still quite a few comments to catch up on but will plough through them eventually .
Tonight I would like to share a card and an ATC .
25th Sept - 11th Challenge What Little Boys are made of or Anything Goes
over at     http://atcchallenges.blogspot.com/

Please pop over to see the other  DT members  fantastic ATCs . and leave some blog love for them and then check out the entries .I'm sure they will all inspire  you and maybe you might create an ATC of your own .

For this male themed ATC I have chosen to use the SU set Totally Tool .
On top of a covering of DSP I paper pieced the tools with only the sentiment that came with the screwdriver added at bottom of tools .Markers and coloured pencils used .
And the card ..


This is one of the cards I used for my Tuesday morning card making ladies .And as I uploaded I see a smudge aahhhh !! I've had these tie brads for YEARS and I'm happy they are now on cards .The card stock used is SU , the  dsp is from new , Frightful Sight ,pkt.SU. The sentiment from new  SU , Happiest Birthday Wishes.
I am so looking forward to the Spring weather coming back ! Cold and wet here today . Hope that you all enjoy the rest of the week .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

  1. What cute tie brads, Shirley-anne! For a minute or two I thought you used the tie stamp and was admiring how well you dressed up the images. =)
    That tool set is a favorite with my boys, but I never thought of paper piecing with them. Great idea!!
