I created today's card with the uber fun "Teen Routine" set
Supplies:
Cardstock: (white) Georgia-Pacific, Patterned Paper: (Dots & Stripes) Echo Park, Stamps: (Controller, "hey" from "Teen Routine"), ("let's play" from Chubby Chums) Paper Smooches, Ink: (black) Memento, Markers" Copic, Paper glaze: Glossy Accents, Tools: (corner rounder) We R Memory Keepers, Fibers: cotton twine
Size: 5.5" x4.25"Funny story. My middle son, who is 7, happened upon this card sitting on my desk. He says "Cool card mom, but what are those black things?" "Black things?" I ask. "Yeah" he says "what are those things coming out of the controllers?" !!! Feeling rather old and out dated I explained to him that back in MY day controllers had cords. Man, did we have it rough or WHAT?! lololol
I used the controllers from "Teen Routine" and added glossy accents to the buttons and then (they may not be current, but I still like the way they look on the card) cords made from cotton twine. The "hey" sentiment is also from this set and I paired it with "let's play" from "Chubby Chums".
That's it from me today, next up is our brand new team member, the amazing Kalyn Kepner!
Have fun and good luck!
♥ Heidi

Your Son's comment way too funny;)

Such a cute card...totally brings me back! :) Who would have thought that wires & cords would ever be out-dated! Ha! :)
Cute looking card. Something my grandsons would love receiving.

Oh, SO funny! You sound like you come from my age group. I remember the cords, too. I mean how in the world could we make anything move on the screen if it is not connected to a cord? It would not work. :) I love your card - cord and all.
Very cute!! I love these!!
