My niece will be having a baby boy on Monday! We are all excited and the Design Staple challenge WT151 turned out a perfect opportunity for using staples on the newest addition's card. My base card is a bright yellow Bazzill woven texture cardstock. The sky area is Soft Sky and the grassy area is Gable Green. I stamped retired :( Circus Train in bright colors. I used design staples to make the railroad ties. All the wheels are brads and the track rails are the edge leftover pieces (should have been throw away, but...) from a package of Magenta silver stickers. I added a flag to the train with the sentiment *Welcome Baby* on it in Taken with Teal. The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils. I added shading to the 2 main layers, as well as, a few clouds, flower bunches and hills. I love how this turned out! Hope you like it, too! Please feel free to share all comments, if you like. TFL!!! -Chrysi-

I actually just borrowed this set from a friend last night and started playing around. It took me forever just to color in one section of the train, I can't imagine how long this took you. Anyway, it looks amazingly beautiful!!!! I would suggest framing it and putting it in the new baby's room.
