you know, in the course of february's massive LOVEFEST activities, with a cool new challenge every friday, it was easy to forget that the "normal" caardvarks challenges take place on the 5th and 20th of the month. and i think you'll find that today's the 5th. uh-huh. yep, i'm pretty sure. soooooooo...that makes it challenge time, then...doesn't it?!
this time we embark upon the exciting world of transportation: cars, boats, planes, trains, bikes, rocketships, motorcycles, cablecars, hot air balloons, horse-n-buggies, james-bond-style personal jetpacks...your choice...your theme...your ideas...just make it transportational, and submit your link by midnight, march 18th, to have your creation added to the CAARD TRIP gallery.
and now...without further ado...here is MY card:
(picture cut from a children's book; patterned paper: basic grey, making memories, ctmh; cupcake: paper bliss; rub-on letters: scrapworks, american crafts; decorative pins: joann essentials; ribbon: michaels; other: colorbox ink, foam tape)
this is for one of our nephews on LHJ's side of the family. andrew will be twelve in april and he has loved cars, trucks, and all other motorized vehicles his entire life. so when i saw this cool illustration in a children's book from my "garage sale cut up" pile...i knew immediately that it would be perfect for this challenge...AND for our young racing fan!
LOOOOVE this card! You have a serious knack for finding things in books, magazines and other sources that make the COOLEST cards! Way to go! xo
