This is for little Levi, a two year old with leukemia. He loves things with wheels. When my oldest granddaughter Clare was about that age, she was fascinated with any kind of trucks...front end loaders, garbage, diggers. If she was playing outside and saw one, she'd stop and watch. If she could hear one but not see it, she would recognize what it was and call the name out. So it's not just boys that like trucks.
I have barely used this stamp set, wood mounted, had to use the Stampamajig. I don't like to take the stamps off the mounts and I have a hard time getting rid of anything because, like this set, one never knows. I stamped the scooter four times with the black and heat embossed in clear. The wagons are stamped in green, purple and orange. I did throw in a few primaries too. I masked the edges and brushed on twisted citron. On the inside, it says 'keep on rolling!!!' and this is mounted on some colorful dp that they will see, circles white on red. I'm very sad for this family and with them all good luck and wishes.

Okay, now I'm singing the "Rawhide" theme, LOL! This is really perfect for a little boy. I love the colorful scooters and wagons and the shiny stars you've added.

Ha Claudia and I are both singing "Rawhide"...LOL. And, as you say, that's exactly why I don't get rid of any of my stamps. You just never know when they will be the perfect thing for card...likes these. Love the scooters and wagons together. Fun card.

Yes, one never knows. More than once I have pulled a stamp from my donation bag. I like the layout, it gives a great sense of movement. I like the extra little pops of colour from the stars. I wouldn't have thought Rawhide myself, but now I'm signing it too.

I agree about getting rid of stamps .... I hang on to them because the occasion comes sooner or later when it's fun to have just the right image or images. You did a great job creating this specialty paper just for Levi! Love those stars you added, too!
