suits you to a "T"...

...is the wonderful and whimsical brief at shopping our stash this week: make a card which features two (or MORE!) ingredients beginning with the letter T! for instance: tag, tape, twine, trees, tinsel, tattered angels products, tin foil, tin cans, trim, tea bag, tea cup, tomahawk, tangerine, tigers, turtle, etc; be sure to list what they are in your post, because you know we LOVE to see how creatively you can interpret these challenges! :)

now i'll show you my card, and then i'll tell you what i've chosen!
(patterned paper: crate + scraps of basic grey and some doodlebug glitter paper for the stars; tag: making memories... masked with additional star diecuts and sprayed with glimmer mist; tape: love my tapes, recollections, smash; cardstock: core'dinations; ink: colorbox; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine; other: typewriter)

have you found all the "T" elements? i'm proud that i worked in quite a few! there's teal (or turquoise?) tattered angels glimmer mist on my tag; some typing for my text; three different kinds of tape; and totally terrific amy tangerine thickers! woohoo!

i'm also pretty pleased with this just generally, as a "guy card"... which is good because around here we have more guy birthdays in january than any other month! so i need to get moving and make a few more o'these, i think!

and now ♥YOU♥ need to get moving over to SOS and see what the rest of the gang have come up with, it will be worth the trip, i PROMISE!!! ♥
