AHSC616 Tools & Plaids Birthday

 Happy Monday, peeps! Living in the Philadelphia area, it was quite exciting yesterday to see our Eagles win the Super Bowl.  I mainly use watching football to knit or cross stitch, so it's not really a big deal to me, but Wayne is a BIG Philadelphia sports team fan, so he was quite happy!

Our sketch from Atlantic Hearts today is a great one if you like to layer:


I needed a birthday card for my nephew, and so I pulled out some plaid papers from Timeless Plaid and a few tool charms and went to work:


I used both sides of one plaid paper, and added a panel of Crumb Cake, embossed with the retired Subtle embossing folder.  I stamped a sentiment from Simply Said in Pecan Pie ink before embossing it!  A few tool charms were diecut and glued together for embellishments, and I added some Natural trim; it's not ribbon, so it's a wee bit more masculine!!


The inside sentiment is from a retired set called Best Year:


Our sketch is open, so feel free to play along with us and share your creation over at the Atlantic Hearts blog! We can't wait to see what creativity you show us!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

That natural trim was just the ticket for keeping this darling card masculine, LeAnne! You know without me saying it, right? I'm MAD for your plaids!

That rope-like trim is a fun accent for those little tools. Cute card for your nephew! I remembered Wayne was a huge Eagles fan and thought of him yesterday!
