Gears, gears, and more gears

Gears, gears and more gears. I love all things steam punk and find beauty in the mechanical. And I have been called upon occasionally to help the hubster with the building of the garage mistress which is great fun. Because it involves gears and the mechanical, I am always fascinated to see how it works.

Yes, gears are certainly a weakness of mine and I love the card I was able to create using the Classic Garage Designer Series Paper and the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies.

I used the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set as well for the inside sentiment.

One of my favorite authors Barbara Johnson said; Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. I identify with this in so many ways. Probably because I need to work on patience all the time and because I know what stripped gears look like.
