I was working on this when the Free for All challenge of honouring our fathers was posted. What a lovely coincidence! I followed a great tutorial by Irene Rhodes posted in the Fan Club threads. A great reason to be a member!
Both my father and father-in-law are no longer with me so this is for my husband. Before we were married we made furniture as a hobby (more properly HE made furniture and I played a support role, i.e. mostly sanding and finishing). One of the first things he built was a proper workbench which is still with us and fully stocked with every tool known to mankind. He is an extremely handy guy and I am very appreciative of all he does. BTW the card bench is MUCH tidier than the real one. :-)

The same concept applies to our stamp space. A card designed to look like or work station would present much more lovely than the real life chaos)!! The process is so much fun, but after it's all done and we look at the aftermath, we're left wondering how a tiny little paper creation can create a room full of havoc;)!

FABULOUS card, Ann....and your husband us sure to LOVE it. It is obvious a lot of time and love went into this card. You made me smile with your comment about the "real" workbench's condition as to neatness! : ) (I'm not talking about my DH's workbench) : )
