The challenge that got me jazzed about this particular item from the ToC pile is over at Just Us Girls. With a woodwork challenge I immediately thought of a roll of actual wood strip that is used for...who knows what?! It was a goodie from my mother's treasure trove of mishmash/sundries/miscellany/STUFF! It is so old - that the instruction slip doesn't have a website and the container does not sport a UPC bar code - it DOES however tell us that this "flexible wood-trim is real wood veneer in a handy roll"! The company claims to be "Wizards with Wood". It must be pretty old...the fading price sticker requires a mere 59 cents for a generous 8 feet strip.
I've been itching to use A Day for Daisies' re-purposed boot image and thought these rugged 'planters' would be complimented with REAL wood!

Here's to transferring crap, abiding by rules, and re-purposing!

I get all the "transfer of crap" from a sister in law so I feel your pain on that one. The only problem I have with it is that none of the crap I get is crafty stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe little strip of wood is wonderful and just perfect to use with the cute image! The whole thing made into a fabulous card!

Glad you were able to use up some of your "crap"! That just cracked me up! This is very pretty and the wood goes nicely with that image! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls!
ReplyDelete59 cents? Really? That IS an old TofC item! And you used it so gorgeously on your fabulous card! Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, all the ToC in my world is out-going. :) Now I NEED a roll of that wood, and for 59 cents, too! Who knew it would come back into vogue. Oh, wait, things ALWAYS come back, which is why we hoard it, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
