Since the Fort McMurray fires have made the news even over here, I think that Faith's challenge this week is a great one! You can find it here: MMTPT410 ~ Fire!! Fire!!. Since the Fort McMurray fires have made the news even over here, I think that Faith's challenge this week is a great one! But I knew I didn't have anything that easily fit the theme...
In the end, I went for punch art, and found a fireman on Ellen Kemper's blog :Firefighter guy. The engine is adapted from a template for a party invitation, also found online (creativepartyblog.com). I scaled it down and adapted a couple of things, adding some scored card for hose on a real, and using a picket fence with every other picket cut out to make the ladder.
This is quite big, 8" by 6", and since it's very much for a child, whoever I get to send a card to will also get another card from me .
I had to substitute a few punches, and while I didn't fit CANADA on the card, I gave the firman a maple leaf crest on his helmet, so maybe I get half an extra cookie??

Sabrina this is such a cute card. I love the fireman and how you used so many different punches and pictures. You definitely get extra cookies for the maple leaf. Thanks for joining in on the party.
