Picking Something Fun........


Happy Wednesday everyone or hump-day as we call it in my neck of the woods.  I am writing this before I get ready for work so I have to keep it short!  By the way so far I am loving my job!!!

My brother in law's birthday is in about a week and he is a farmer so I wanted to find an image that kinda reflected that for his card. I came up with this one from Mo's Digital Pencil.


I didn't want to go to overboard with the design since it is for a guy so I colored him in and then glossed the tomatoes, his shoes and the hankie hanging out of his pocket for dimension. Some twine and a trio of buttons basically finished off the front.  My sentiment was stamped with an old Stampin' Up stamp.  I have so many of those that I have had for ages and thought maybe I should start using them a bit.
Inside the card I put this verse:
"I hope you pick something
fun to do today!
You deserve it!!"

Kinda corny but I thought it fit with the image. Well I hope he likes it anyway cuz it comes from my heart!!

  12. Love that sentiment with this image! Not corny at all. Perfect! Your card makes me miss tomatoes. We had such a rainy summer that our garden didn't do well at all and we didn't have nearly as many tomatoes as usual. Next summer! :) He will love your card!
