Wish Big *SFYTT*

I really hate it when I go a whole week without posting! I have a fun ensemble to show you, but haven't had a chance to get it posted. I made it for my daughter's teacher; it goes along with the tea box that I made. Anyway....it is now Saturday and you know what that means; a new SFYTT! I needed to make my Step-Dad a birthday card and I thought this sketch worked well for a man. It is simple and straightforward and I didn't even add any ribbon or twill.

The other night as I was trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about eyelets. I know...go figure? Who thinks about eyelets when they are trying to go to sleep? Well..., I was. I realized that I have more than a lifetime worth of eyelets that never get used, so I decided to add a few to the corners of this design. They seem manish and worked nicely, I thought.

I decided to let the pattern paper do most of the work, with minimal stamping. I used Star Prints and Birthday Basics from Papertrey Ink. I have so few masculine stamps, but I thought I could make these work. The paper is from an ancient 8 by 8 slab by Marcela for K&Company. I found it while I was looking for something else; decided to pull it out into the light, so that it could get used. What do you know? It worked nicely for this design.

Just so you know...I have completely lost my mind. I think I must have left it at the hospital after I had Rowan. I left it there and brought a baby home in it's place. LOL! On Tuesday, I dropped my daughter off at her friend's house, took my son to Grandpa's and headed to Rowan's two month check up. I got to the Doctor's office a half an hour away to find out that his appointment is NEXT Tuesday! Are you serious? Am I really that far gone? OH well...I have a beautiful miracle that I wouldn't trade for my mind. It would have left me sooner or later anyway! Wish me luck!!!

You won't want to miss the other designers!
