Hello friends and possible future friends, thank you for visiting my blog today!
Oh how fun it is to be back but also challenging... I forgot how much effort there is to putting a post together, not only photo taking, remembering the products and how you made it but also how to word everything!!! lol
You have to remember I live in PEI but I am a pure bred Newfoundlander and we have quite an accent as I am sure you have noticed when I posted a video of Michael walking on Friday... I am from Marystown which is close to where Shaina Twain's family originated (Lawn), did you know that I am Shania Twain's distant cousin which I only found out last year and whatdaya know I sing and compose as well...runs in the family! Her real name is Eileen Edwards for those of you that don't know. Fun facts!
Now on with the show....
Some of you may have heard of Tim Holtz's Grunge Board Blocks but for those of you who didn't , they come complete with a random font grunge board alphabet and precut extra-thick grunge blocks, I have used the blocks in my project and inked them up with Distress Ink.
This set contains 199 pieces consisting of 115 letters and 84 blocks, they come as low as $11.99 depending on where you shop, great deal hey?

For my project I created a card which is quite sturdy ... I used Chipboard covered with White cardstock for the back, what I really love about this card is I can put it in a shadow box, hang it or create a stand for it, I have chosen to do the later.
I have created this project for very close friends of mine which I won't reveal their names for they occasionally drop in and I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

| I am totally in love with this Wooden Stamp I bought at Michael's Store, isn't it elegant? It is hard to see but if you enlarge the picture you will see I used a wood grain embossing folder for the label..love it! |
 |
| I stamped the image while the grunge blocks were still attached to each other then stamped the dove image using a medium. Next I covered in white embossing powder and heat embossed it. I broke the blocks apart then inked each grunge block with Green Hills Shadow Ink and Mowed Lawn around the edges. |
