This is for Lloyd, uncle of our own Marie (momof5sons). We were to send some cheer to him featuring tractors, farms images, gardens, etc. Marie, it sounds like he is a real gem..hope he likes his "tea party"...or maybe we can call it a garden party!

Oh Polly I love the idea of a Garden Party...with a manly touch just like you brought! Uncle Lloyd has a small windmill, so I'm glad that your card included that with your tractor. The manly geometric details are perfect too. Uncle Lloyd will love this! Thank you so much for coming to his Teaparty. Grab some of those cookies that match your tractor. Big hugs from NJ my friend!

Your card reminds me of a local farm. They have a windmill and a tractor out in the middle of a small pond! Water flows from the top of the tractor. So cool!

Pol, that is an awesome tractor! Your farm scene is wonderful and now I am thinking I should have used a windmill too! Your diamond die cut with the button and twine makes for such a great embellishment! Manly, yes! But I like it too! (LOL do you remember that line from the old Irish Spring commercial?)

I was pretty sure this was yours, Polly, even before I scrolled down and saw your name under it. The tractor image is so your style; I also really like the diamond strip across the top. Those windmills seem so iconic to me - we have nothing like them at all here. Despite all the wind - but I guess they were never needed to draw the water up, that's not a problem!!

Love that manly border atop your card with the twine and button! That is a great stamp - with the windmill and all - for a card for Marie's uncle!! Terrific card with all familiar elements for him!
