Kraft & Twine Time!

The fortnightly challenge continues this week at Frilly & Funkie with the Funkies. Our host, Linda Coughlin, of the Funkie Junkie, wants to see Kraft & Twine. Frilly or Funkie, from kraft cardstock to recycled corrugated cardboard, let's see how creative you can be. You still have a week left to upload your projects to be eligible to win a gift certificate to the Funkie Junkie Boutique. If you need a little inspiration, please visit the other Designer's blogs.

For my card/tag, I decided to do another project for Father's Day. This one is loaded with texture...embossing, repurposed packaging, wood, metal, and twine. It's the ultimate 'tool man' card. I can just hear "o ah hah hah" every time I look at it. It even has a little envelope to tuck a gift card in.
 
I am also submitting this to some manly sized challenges. My Mojo Monthly's challenge is "Man Up", The Stamp Man's Challenge is "Make It For A Man", Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge is "Show Texture", and the Compendium Of Curiosities II Challenge is "Repurposed Packaging". I have also been introduced to two new challenges by Chris, Art With No Boundaries, where the challenge is "Anything Goes", and Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent, for "Heavy Metal".

Supplies:


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

May Tags Received From ATT

I received gorgeous ATC's from the All Things Tim Yahoo Group in the mail while I was away with my family on vacation...love my happy mail!!! May's theme was "yellow".
Sandy Alsfasser (Texture galore, and check out those hub caps....love this Sandy!)
Stephen Jew (This looks and feels like real wood. Love the whole design, and those drops look like real honey or amber.)
Susan Salyer (Gorgeous butterflies and love the pin...really adds texture.)
Claudine Criner (Love Tim's new die with the background. Great design, and those fibers and key are fantastic!)
And...here is mine again.
If you are on the fence about joining in a swap, give it a go! You will more than likely be pleasantly surprised with what you get back, and probably learn some technique from your participants!
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
