Keep on Truckin’

I hope you are having a fantastic weekend – we are sunny and in the 90′s with humidity right around 80%, feels a bit muggy but I’ll take it  over snow anyday.

In the sport section of our newspaper they do a flashback to what happened 10 years ago and 25 years ago on that date.  To my surprise, I saw my son’s name detailing one of his high school baseball games where he hit a home run.  I’m not sure where those 10 years went any that got me reminiscing about his boyhood days.

Isn’t this a great stamp from LOTV to use when making a card for a boy?  Some of the kids’ favorite toys have been the large boxes their gifts have come in – not the toy itself!

I’m using the sketch for this week’s challenge at Sketch ‘N Stash.  I used several different papers from the Marjolaine line from BasicGrey.  For some reason, I thought it would be fun to try some stitching for this project.  I used to sew a lot years ago but I can see there is a technique to sewing with paper – I’m definitely going to need to practice a bit more to get this down.  I resorted to faux stitching on the photo mat.

I’m not entire happy with how this card turned out but the cute image makes up for lack of sewing skills.  I do think the screw brads give the card a bit more of a masculine feel.  I’m glad you stopped by – I hope you’ll stop back again soon!  Dee
