Shop class...

this card is from SSC's Back 2 School Crop that we hosted a couple of weekends ago. It was an awesome time! I hope 2 "periods" to "teach". They were Shop class and Chemistry Class. Today is the Shop class sample. I will share the Chem sample tomorrow.

The "assignment" (challenge):

You must make a card, layout or project that includes some type of metal AND an item found in your home.

Some ideas for you to spin off of:
nuts, bolts, washers, screen, safey pins, hat pins, clock hands, staples, paper clips, metal sheets, bottlecaps, etc.

The sample..."Happy Birthday":

My metal is the craft sheet metal that I embossed and my item from the home is the Lugnut for the butterfly's body.

Supplies Used:

Card: Michael's

Cardstock: Unknown (using up scraps)

Patterned Paper: Rogue de Garance (Sandylion)

Craft Metal: Walnut Hollow

Bottlecap: Darice

Stamp: Heidi Swapp

Hope you are all having a fabulous Monday! It is rainy with no sun here, but it is perfect napping weather...which is exactly what I plan to do when I get home :)
