Toot,Toot For JD

I have been trying to make a challenge card more regularly for the SCS challenges. This card is my effort for the LSC254 posted on Friday. to make a card with a Palindrome. I chose "Toot" and instantly thought of my 1 month old grandson. so I made him this card on the inside I wrote "look who's 1 mo. old!" and recorded some of the wonderful changes that have occurred in his short life..Like the fact that his parents have probably become experts at changing diapers!

I used my Gypsy to layout the parts for my card. The train from the Disney:Mickey & friends Cart. I cut the base in Black and Blue and the layer in Yellow....and used Tear Drop to cut out Toot in Real Red. after assembling the Train I fiugred I should have probably cut the layer in Red also to add a bit more detail but shoose to just add some stiching wiht my SU Real Red marker. Sponged the black layer and the Orange back ground with Moon Drop PlatniumPlanet..after embossing it with Metal plate...I adhered the Toot's using my "X" Xyron...I alwasy trace the image with a pointer tool to remove excess glue form the edges before transfering it to the card.

***For those of you waiting for me to "fail" (see New Years Blog Candy Post)..I am still succeeding, andI am using a lot of my stash...no spending yet!, but thinking about it everyday....I discovered something I might be needing before too long...new 12x12 mats for my Cricut.. I forgot how much I used them making the favor boxes in Nov & Dec. I had wanted to buy some Aleens' Tack and Tack again Adhesive to try refreshing my mats, but haven't bought any yet. I did have some spray adhesive on hand so I used that instead...in some places I got too much adhesive on the mat.. what a mess, but it worked....so I am wondering how long it will last.

Until Later...Happy Stamping!
