The Challenge #16

It looks like another stunning day out my window. I spent a good number of hrs out in the yard again yesterday, mostly trying to take down a plum tree with a saw the size of my foot.. there is a lot to be said about having the right tools for the job. I mean the saw was in a kit I gave to my son when he was knee high to a grasshopper.. you know tools like big boys... not so much at least not for evil plum trees.

 I am pretty stubborn though and I will finish working away at the stump like a crazy beaver today. I have no idea what I am going to do with the pile of debris the size of my car though. To add to the excitement, this is my husband's favorite tree (I have no idea why) and I need to get rid of the evidence before he come back from his hunting trip.

I received a nice surprise yesterday with a call from one of the craft stores we stopped in up island. Crafty Capers was having an anniversary on World Cardmaking day and they were going to draw for few baskets of goodies. Both my sister and I won.. what are the odds of that happening :) So we plan to make a card with our new little treasures today.

This is a card for The Challenge over at Always Playing with Paper. I went with a masculine card, I will need a few of them in the coming months.

I used lots of layers, a little twine, toss in star or three and finish with enamel dots and foam tape :).

Supplies: White and black card stock, Designer Paper - Teresa Collins, Papertrey Ink - Birthday Bash, misc die cuts, twine, dots.

Thank you for visiting.
