TST #100 A Very Special Birthday

Wow can you believe that we are now at 100 for our sketches at Try Stampin On Tuesday..  Seems like just yesterday that we started this great challenge site. 

Today is not only our 100th challenge, so I am incorporating it with a very special Birthday card.  This one is for my Grandson Edwin who will be turning 1 on January 15.  We will be having his Birthday Party on Sunday and looking forward to all the mess with the cake, but then that is why we will also be having the bathtub ready!!

Using the I Dig You stamp set I stamped onto the cardstock and then cut out each piece.  I reversed the way the stamp set actually  stamps out and added little brads which make the arms of the shovel actually move. In keeping with the same set being reversed I decided to reverse the layout of the card and have the added embellishment on the left instead of the right.

Then using the SU Cog Punch I punched out one of the larger cogs and two of the smaller cogs to highlight the "happy 1st dirtday". 

Edwin loves his trucks and it was only fitting to use this stamp set, not to mention that he received a ride on tractor from his other Grandma and Grandpa.  Have a Great 1st Birthday Little Man!!!

Hope you like what I have come up with, now it's your turn.  Need a little more inspiration, hop on over to the Try Stampin website and see what the other Designers have in store for you.  Once you have completed your card don't forget to post it for all of us to see.

Thanks for stopping by.
