This is the card I made for today's WT challenge. This is my story!
1. Although I used mostly punches, you can't make a card like this without scissors! I always use my scissors....that is why they are coated with gunk! And why they won't cut ribbon, and why the paper I am cutting sticks to them, and why I keep buying new ones PRETENDING I am gonna keep one pair for *good!*
2. This card is for a mom (Suzy) and an new little baby (Jake!) that was born in Texas 8 weeks early and is struggling right now having come into the world a little early!
2. This paper is so cute....you probably can't see it but there are little words all over it that says....
Beep! Vroom!
3. This is another BIG card.....5.5 X 8.5 but hey trucks are big things!
If you would like to send Suzy and Jake a word of encouragement you can read about their story here:

This just makes me smile, the happy colors, the truck that looks just like the designer paper, definitely reminds me of the little engine that could!!! I think you've got your shapes down!!! Wonderful card for a tiny wonder! Will be saying a prayer for Jake!

Love how you used the distressed stripes on the truck, and your puffs of smoke are adorable. Great card...I love the bright and cheery colors for little Jake.
