Tool Time

It is indeed a marvelous Memorial Day Monday! It is also time for a new challenge at My Grafico. Our new challenge involves honoring dad for Father's DayThis week our theme centers around tools. If you know of someone who is handy, this is a perfect set that you will use time and time again. Here are the images we were given to use.


Luckily I had a design in mind:
This could be a tag for a gift but I am using it as a card. I just glued the edges of the tag together to insert the sentiment:
Just flip the wrench and pull down!
Here is a close up of the sentiment: Happy Father's Day...Dad
Here is another close up of the top of the tag card.
I could have used more of the tool but decided not to distract from the To Do list.
I love the screw brads on the corners and the cork DP. What do you think?
Our Design Team has created some awesome projects. Just click HERE to view them:)
Materials used:
Card: Recollections from Michael's
Ribbon& DP: Michael's
Brads: From a craft show I attended
Sentiment: Computer Generated

This too was a simple card due to the awesome digi stamps from My Grafico. I could have added so much more to this card but I wanted to show you just how simple a thoughtful card can be. The most difficult part is thinking about the design!
I hope that I have inspired you to create a project for Father's Day. When you are ready to enter your paper craft just click HERE.

  2. Hi Barbara, thanks for your MIM visit, it is so appreciated. Also thanks for the idea to turn my son's graduation shirt into a pillow. I love that idea and probably would not have thought of it. Thank heavens for our crafty friends!
    I love this Father's Day card! So creative! That is so cool how you used the wrench to "unlock" the sentiment! Very nice. Until next time. :)
