This is for Lisa's Fun & Games challenge today. Here's another stamp set that I bought on Ebay and managed to hide from myself for a year. I love it. All the images are so cute--maybe it's because I have two boys. I pulled out most of the stamps in the set to make my own DP. I had planned to color the images, but then changed my mind and decided to just color the background--it was still a lot of coloring! Then I chose this cute vellum with stars all over to go under the "It's a boy" sentiment.
This card is going to go to my husband's cousin. She's having a baby in February and she just had a big reveal party. Made a big deal out of it (who can blame her?) and invited like 70 people. They went to the party store and handed the envelope from the doctor to them and got a giant box full of balloons. After the countdown, they opened the box and big pink balloons came out that said "It's a Girl!". Then a couple of minutes later someone found the envelope in the bottom of the box. Paige opened it and said "is this some kind of joke? It says it's a boy!". Wow, party store. You had one job. Ha! But it made for a pretty funny video and story to tell!

That was a big mistake by the party shop!! What fun stamps; I especially like the robot and UFO, but the little boat reminds me of ones we had. There's certainly no mistake about this card...all boy.

OMG! I would have died laughing at seeing the balloons and then getting the note. Oh I can only imagine. Great card. I love the stamps, can't believe you hid them from yourself for a year. I could totally have used that baseball glove stamp for a card that I just made my aunt but thankfully I found an image on line that worked perfect. Thank you so much for playing along in the challenge and bringing this fun card.
