For my Brother in Law, JD, the Jammer Town electrician. Oh, you did not know we had an electrician? Well, he is one powerful dude! You see, he is connected to “The Power” and therefore shines the Light wherever he goes. This case was inspired by the work of Laurie Willison, and I was completely wrong when I thought this would be a snap! Lol! Mercy, lining up those punches has me worn out. I may need jumper cables before it's over.
I giggled making this, knowing I had the ultimate MAN gift already wrapped up. Yes. An electronic bug zapper, complete with batteries. And that may not sound exciting to the ladies, but guys think this lil item is pretty trick. And, JD does live on a farm, so it will come in handy.
I used Spellbinder labels for the outlets, and trimmed the edges, adding a screwdriver brad. Please see Laurie's original design on her blog: Soapbox Creations. Thanks for a fun JT challenge Stac!
Thanks for looking! I am out the door to deliver that swatter! Lol!

She's BACK! Where have ya been? I've been wondering if you got lost in cowboy land or something. Did I miss something as to where you have been? It's so good to see you are putting out your "original" cards. What a great card to go with the sentiment and the story. LOVE those outlets. It's so good to see a new card on your gallery! Your Cowgirl!

What a great idea. But wait, wait...where's the flowers?! This is such a great idea. Such a cute card and the scripture works so well with your card. I have not been commenting on your cards because for some reason I cannot pull up your gallery. I typed in the search box and came up with a gallery where this card was the first on the page. I need to send Lydia an email. I don't know what the deal is. Been missing you.
