Weekend!

Well Sunday is almost done and I have only had time to make one card.  I even received new goodies this past week and had hoped it would be a great creative weekend.  Then the real world got in the way!  Yesterday I was up and out before 7am  came home at 2pm and was out the door again at 3:45.  Today I had to do everything that I usually do on Saturdays.  So laundry, yard work and house work were done.  I also woke up with a cold today and just do not feel great and after doing all have too's I had no steam for the fun stuff.  I did make one card yesterday for the party I went to last night.  However I am not showing that today instead I am sharing the card I made my Dad.
The card is using some Tim Holtz stuff.  I used his paper for the background and the stamps are one of my favorites of his sets.  I used Memento tuxedo back for the arrows and sentiment.  I used Distress Ink Vintage Photo for the clock, background on the card stock using a brush to make the effect, and around the cork I also sponged the ink too.  I added two brads using my I Rock for my embellishment.  He received the card yesterday in the mail and really liked it!  I love sharing my stuff with my family and friends.  Well I just realized as I was typing that we have a Birthday tomorrow at work so I am off to make a card before I head to bed!  Have a great evening!  Thanks for stopping by!

    Jessie this masculine card is great. I have never seen Tim Holtz items before but I am on the search for them now. I love the background paper, the clock, and the sentiment. Thanks for the inspiration.

    This is a fantastic card, Jessie. Tim Holtz has some thoughtful sentiments that can be perfect for just the right person or situation, as is the case for this card. The torn edge on the cork is a great touch to the distressed look. Hope you're over your cold.
