This card was one of the most fun ones I've ever made. It's for our grandson, about to have his first birthday. And it's one of those illustrations that show that there's no such thing as a mistake in stamping, only a challenge. I accidentally had my Xyron sticker maker upside down when I fed in the little trucks and the flagman, and so the stickum was on the front instead of on the back. What to do? I ended up sticking those fronts onto window sheets and cutting around them; now the little figures will wipe clean after sticky toddler fingers get on them!
