Tool Time

 I have been working diligently at stocking up on some craft sale items for September

and I loved this little TOOL BOX I found by Valerie Moody.  

She made the Tool Box by using the TWO TAGS DIE and the BIG SHOT.  

I checked my stock and I had some brand new pencils on hand to use for the handles.  

I found some coffee flavored candies at the Office Supply Store of all places and thought 

it would be the perfect guy treat.  I know how much my husband enjoys his cup of 

coffee in the morning and I know there are others out there that REALLY 

enjoy their coffee.  I thought it was a perfect mix.

As I was putting these all together I thought this same design would make a cute cradle

I wonder if I could do that??

You Betcha!!

I put the wood grain on the Shimmer White card stock using Versa Mark and Clear EP. 

I think the back ground stamp still had a little color residue on it from stamping 

all the tool boxes and it gave a slight color to the wood grain 

which I love how it came out.

A half of a large Scalloped Circle Die made a lovely cradle topper.

I enlisted the aid of my sister who sews and literally saves every little scrap 

to help me out with some lace.  She had a whole drawer for me to choose from.  

I decided to go with this ecru colored double lace and hot 

glued it around the cradle.  The rockers are 3" Circles

 

I had some leftover baby blue ribbon from the local craft store that says "It's a Boy!!" 

and thought it would work perfectly for the cradle. 

Brads hold the cradle topper on so that it is movable (not stationary)

I'm thinking this will make a cute Baby Shower Favor or perhaps I will put a gift card

in it for the next baby shower I go to.

When Carla came to play she wanted to make a cradle too.  I love the lace she chose

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!
