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 .
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.
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. =)
ReplyDeleteThat tool set is a favorite with my boys, but I never thought of paper piecing with them. Great idea!!
Both are great. Love that little ATC with the tools...perfect for a guy!
ReplyDeleteThe card is so nice too. Wonderful use of those brads!
