The paper button on the crochet flower was made from many layers of paper bag, with the top layer stamped on a recycled envelope, all punched with a 7/8" scallop circle punch.
The teapot with the slingshot chosen this week is perfect, since our dad was an expert shot with one. Many of our cookie cutters were cut from tin cans and bent into different shapes by our dad, as well.

Love all the details for your sister's card....you do know her style. The embellishments from the paper bag are amazing. Like the use of the lace background stamp used to bring in all together. TFS

Wow, Carol is going to flip over this card!!! It is just perfect for her, right up her alley!!! I love reading about your Dad making cookie cutters out of tin! How creative that is - and you get what you want, as so many stores do not carry everything you want.
Love your flower and love the music, the butterfly the whole card is so pretty Melody!!!
