For my first card I used the two products we’re giving away today, All the Fixings with coordinating dies and the Pegboard die. Everybody needs a handy-man in their lives and for me that handy-man is my father-in-law. He has built countless things in our warehouse, refurbished an old wood entertainment center into a fabulous play kitchen for Madi, and in his most recent project he built a gallery wall like this one for me to put all our family pictures without having to hang frames on the walls. Thank heavens for Marv who can bring all my Pinterest dreams to life!
Speaking of Pinterest, during one of way too many hours spent pinning I came across this card which is where I drew my inspiration for the card I designed.
I started by cutting the pegboard from Kraft cardstock. Then I trimmed all of the tools from a combination of colored cardstock and metallic silver cardstock. I pieced together the tools and hung them from the pegboard with mini silver brads. Then I cut out my own makeshift work table from brown cardstock. All of the pieces and the card base are distressed around the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
The sentiment I chose will make this the perfect Father’s Day card for my father-in-law. And I’m looking forward to seeing what other uses I can find for this cool pegboard. Perhaps we need some crafty tools to hang next!
My next project is near and dear to my heart because it features our sweet Madelyn when she was 9 months old. She’s so grown up and independent at two and a half so I cherish these little baby memories. All of the new Pockets & Pages products this month gave me the perfect opportunity to complete another memory for our scrapbook:
