I ♥ Aluminum

seriously fun to make

When I was a freshman in college my roommate was a beautiful and funny girl from Kentucky. Her father worked for an oil company and she had lots of little trinkets that were branded with the slogan for his division. I ♥ Asphalt. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world (I still do, kind of) but I didn't share the sentiment.

I ♥ aluminum, and lately I have been obsessed with it. I made the tags in the picture using aluminum foil tape, cardstock, a couple of different embossing folders (mine are Sizzix), a 1 1/2" circle punch, a letter punch set, Sharpies, my Crop-o-dile and a couple eyelets. I found the instructions in a brilliant tutorial at A Penny for your Thoughts.
