Hello Crafters! I hope you are having a good week! Here is a card for This week's Ways to Use It challenge WT672, - (use old tools) - Im happy to say that I finally dug out my IKEA Pot-Lid dish dry organizing rack (that prior to moving I had always used for making my bows). Does anyone else use a dish-rack for bows or is this just an America thing? LOL. I have posted info and photos on my blog on how I use this tool to make my bows! Stop by and check it out HERE: www.cardsbyamerica.blogspot.com/
Anyways, this tool had been boxed up since we last moved from North Carolina to Colorado Summer 2016. We didnt get our household goods until fall 2017 - over a year later - Still, Im thrilled. Had totally forgotten about it and how amazing this expandable dish tool really is! Can make mini to giant bows! Also used this Nellie Snellen heart die set that had not seen daylight in years!
My card fits This week's Color Challenge CC671, This week's Sketch challenge SC681, and This month's Dirty Dozen Central Theme CT0118 (use punches or dies). My background was multi-stamped and stamp layered to create the look.

I had my DH make me a a wood board with pin holes that I can move dowel rods in it for bows. It is always fun to see how others tie bows. Super HM card.
