Challenge Me Monday - #128 Trains, Planes, & Automobiles

Where did the weekend go?!?  I don't know about you, but I had a very productive weekend!  Spent some time with family, catching up with some friends, did 'too much shopping' according to my husband :), got in some good runs, and found some time to work on a couple projects!!  :)  It is Monday....so you know what that means....it is a Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut.....



 #128 - Trains, Planes, & Automobiles - Make a project using some sort of transportation (Bus, Plane, Train, Car, Bike, Ect).  The project that I created for the challenge is a card for one of my co-workers & his wife as they just found out & announced they are expecting their first baby.  It was so sweet to see a young gentleman be so excited that he couldn't contain himself and was emotional telling us the exciting news.  I thought I would make a card to congratulate them on their upcoming new addition to their family.  Thanks for stopping by & taking a peek!!

Recipe for this project:
- Baby Stroller from New Arrival Cricut Cartridge cut at 6
- White Gelly Roll Pen Medium, to do the faux stitching

- American Crafts Premium Ribbon - Twine

- Button from stash
- iRock pearl jewel

- Pebbles Inc. Rub-ons - 'Congratulations' inside card

Bundle of Joy

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a birthday on Leap Day?  Do you only get to have a birthday every 4 years?  Or do you get to choice which day to celebrate your birthday, February 28th or March 1st? If my soon-to-be niece arrives on my sister-in-law's due date....we will get to find out.  My husband's brother, wife and 2 year son Fionn, are getting ready to welcome their newest addition to their family in a couple weeks. 

When I was working on the card for my sister-in-law to send & tell her "Comhghairdeas!!", which means Congratulations in Irish, I couldn't help but giggle at the face stamp on the baby.  It was the same face that Fionn used when he would say his now famous phrase of: "Ooooh Noooo!!" when they were in the states visiting this past fall.  When I showed my husband the card, & asked if he thought it looked like a certain someone, he also said it reminded him of Fionn.  We are keeping our fingers crossed for our niece to have a unique birthday but more importantly an easy & safe arrival for baby & momma! Thanks for stopping by & taking a peek!!
