Over on the
Penny Black Saturday Challenge they're looking for cards with 5 circles. It took me a minute, but I am pretty sure the reason for this particular challenge is the upcoming Olympics. I made this card using a Penny Black image of a mouse on a spool of thread, cut away the spool and gave him an Olympic torch (I used an oval punch and a leaf punch to make the flame). I think I will send this to my dad before the Olympics get started - I got my love of sports from him and have many wonderful memories of watching football, basketball, and baseball games with him. I even got to watch some of the 2008 Olympics with him. Great memories.
Will you be watching the Olympics this year?

I'm squealing with delight - I LOVE THAT LITTLE MOUSE! This card is toooo cute! Thanks for bring a huge smile to my face and the rest of me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Amy. Your dad will love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I plan on watching the Olympics. I wish I had attended back in the '60's when it was in Montreal which is the closest destination it's ever been for me.
