This is my card for Teapot Tuesday & a gentleman named Charles who could use some well wishes. Charles is a ham radio operator. I know absolutely nothing about ham radios so did a bit of research. I watched a video on how to repair these things & found out that you need to get at the guts (circuit board) & use copper wire, a screwdriver (I thought that was a drink), wire cutters & some other things. So I found myself an image of a circuit board & went to work. I've got wire & some tools. I decided to include a hammer 'cuz at our place, hubby is the fixer upper of all things broken & if he leaves something for too long, I'm likely to fix it in my own way. I find that a good hit with a hammer will fix all kinds of things & if not, well, I feel better. I've tapped out my message to Charles along the bottom of the card in Morse code. Hope he can read it.

Love your circuit board bg and the morse code at the bottom is genius! Charles is going to love opening all these brilliant cards, made by tea potters who most of whom know nothing about all this sort of stuff! I know I don't!

Whew! Someone who knows how to fix a radio....we have parts and pieces everywhere....its seems there are many teapotters who feel the same way you do and loving taking a hammer to their *project*! Ha! This is so funny, so masculin, so cool, so customized to the challenge just for Charles! Tee hee! I think alotta teapotters are thinking a screw driver is a drink.....maybe that is why their ham radios have been leveled, too many screw drivers and not enough patience! Snort! Aweosme Vicki!

Vicky, this is such a wonderful card for Charles.. Love the "Get Well Soon" morse code sentiment
And I really like the grid design background and how you framed the hammer with the eyelets and wire... Don't you think all us teapotters should have our own HAMMER --- I have at least two in my craft room... Never know when you feel the urge to use one
