This weeks Teaparty is down on the farm...bringing tractors and words of encouragement to Lloyd. To see the details visit the MMTPT; MMTPT337 ~January 13, 2015~ Tonight's Success Factor Depends on a Tractor by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
Lloyd is my Uncle. My mom's only sister died last fall from her third bout of cancer and Uncle Lloyd is lost without her. They were married for 65 years. Their first date was on a hayride and she asked him! Uncle Lloyd has over two dozen nieces and nephews and each of us felt loved and special when we were with him. Until his bout with chemotherapy he donated blood every 60 days - for decades. He volunteers as a transporter in the ER in our community hospital, outrunning the young men and women 1/4 of his age. He canes chairs and does woodworking, but his favorite activity is tending his garden. At 85 years young, he truly does inspire me.
Broke out the vintage tractor stamp and colored with Copics. Stamped and cut the sentiment with a Nestie that reminded me of a vintage canning label, then sponged both with Peanut Brittle. Mounted to a Night of Navy panel and that to a Neenah card and done. So sorry for the awful photo but am having significant camera issues.
Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Totally love this card!! I grew up on a farm so this really brought back some great memories!! We had a red International or "FarMall" tractor, we had pumpkins in our garden, and we were the only farm with a working windmill which was kind of cool!! tfs
