My sister texted me to remind me that her boyfriend's birthday was coming up and that he likes jeopardy, puzzles and sudoku. So I decided that I wanted to try to cut out puzzle pieces with my ScanNCut and make the puzzle on the card. I made that puzzle piece cut file in Canvas and saved it with all for pieces together. Then I went searching for just the right DP for KelliJo's "World Travel" challenge. This jet was just the right size. What's so awesome about my ScanNCut is that I was able to scan the jet paper to show as background on the screen and place the puzzle pieces in just the right spot on the paper. The paper is thin so I cut some puzzle pieces out of white cardstock to reinforce the puzzle and be able to pop it up on foam squares. Finished off with the "Let's Party" sentiment because when you turn 33 and your girlfriend describes you as someone who likes to make puzzles, you're going to get a sarcastic "Let's Party" sentiment on your puzzle card.

I love your sarcastic sense of humor, Jen and the puzzle pieces turned out fantastic - My first thought on opening this was "off into the WILD blue yonder" but upon reading your assessment of the boyfriend decided the "WILD" was tongue in cheek!
