The twisted sister challenge today was to use something on our cards that was not purposefully for a card. I went to the barn and found some wooden wheels, we use to use for crafts and some bolts. My dh cut the screws off so they could be used for hub caps on my wagon with the wooden wagon wheels.
I suppose this card will be for my dh.

Awww, Shirt this is ADORABLE!! Where did you ever find such great DP to go with your watermelons??? Perfection, Sis!! Those cute wheels on your wagon will get you through any rough terrain with that precious cargo - I LOVE watermelons and your coloring is making them look mighty good right about now - but WHERE is the SQUIRREL TAIL??? You could hang it off the back or add an antenna and have it flying from the tip in the breeze - REALLY COOL CARD, SHIRT! LYMI!!

I'm with Greenie; aside from this adorable card, I marveled at the DP. It goes so perfectly. Ain't it wonderful when the spouse gets involved with your crafting. When I first looked at your card I wondered how in blue blazes you managed to use those screws. Brilliant idea to cut them down. I gotta remember that technique for a man card in the future. Using those little wheels was genius.

Well, Lovely Driver, I was hoping to see something with a squirrel tail, but this is awesome anyway!!! LOL! Those wooden wheels with the Phillips Head hub caps are so clever to add to that wagon! The dp is perfect with your watermelons! Love the punched border and the gingham ribbons, too, so country!!! You sure nailed THIS challenge!!! LYMI

Ha ha! It better be for Tig.....since he had a hand in it! What a precious and adorable card Shirt! I love the cute wheels...hope Tig gottem on there good, if those water melons dump out and break, he's cleaning up the mess!
This is so cute. I love that dp with the watermelon seeds, so cute. What a cool idea to use your wheels. I looked at your card and tried to guess what was not meant for a card and I came up with your hubs! Love your card.
