It's a Boy!!!

Last week welcomed a new little man to our family, Carson Gary. 

He is the new son of my husbands cousin. Little Carson was born on March 3 at 9:36 pm. 

I knew I wanted to use my new cart, CM Stork's Delivery, to make a card to congratulate them. 

I was really stuck and could not come up with a design. I have been working on this for almost a week.

Then last night, I came across a few challenges that became my springboard of inspiration. I guess that is why there are challenges, to help inspire us to create something something special.

Once I finally had an idea, the card just flew together and I popped it in the mail. 

By the time this post is up, they should already have it. 

 

The yellow in this photo looks brighter than it is, it's really more pastel yellow.

The clock is set to display the time that Carson was born.

So my inspiration came from the following challenges where I will be linking this card to...

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #47

Cooking with Cricut #20 Spring Forward
