It’s always hard getting back into reality for me when I am away for more than the standard 2 days. Even more so when I have actually gone somewhere! Today was not a bad Monday but things are about to ramp up at work so I’d better enjoy it while I can. I still can’t believe the amazing weekend that I had. I told my friend Daniele today that I would prefer it if I could Zip-Line to work every day! It’s nice to be home but I really did have a great time away!
Time sure moves at a rapid pace because it’s time once again for SUO Challenges. For this challenge we have a theme for you, welcome baby. I figured it has been a few days since I have used my favorite new products, the Thinlits Card Dies! LOL! The base of the card is Strawberry Slush Card Stock cut to 5 1/8″ x 8 3/8″ and run through my Big Shot with the Label Card Thinlits Dies leaving the right edge over the top. The main image is from the Zoo Babies Stamp Set and is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and cut out with the label die that comes with set. The greeting is from the One in a Million Stamp Set, the front one is cut out with the banner die and the inside with the label again, both stamped in Wisteria Wonder. All of the elements are cut out from Wisteria Wonder using the various elements included with the Card Thinlits. A fun but simple card with plenty of room on the inside to write. I really do love the Card Thinlits but I like them even better with the extra flap! Thank you, as always, for stopping by to see my SUO Challenges Design Team card for the welcome baby challenge.

Love this, Justin. But then you know I’m a sucker for those thinlits.
Thank you Carolyn! Those Thinlits are great!

You are going to have to make plans for another trip to Georgia . I am sure Brian would enjoy that . Happy Tuesday Mr. Zipliner !
Thank you Sonny! Sometimes you just need bright! Yes, I am definitely going to have to make plans for another trip to GA! 🙂
Strange you should do a baby card today Justin! My great niece just had a baby boy and her sister is due in a few weeks so I need to get busy and get some baby cards made. Great job on the card and yes, I too love the little elephant!
Congratulations to your niece and her sister! Thank you! Yes, the elephant is cute! 🙂
Cute elephant and I too love the deeper colors. Great card. Zip-lining today might have been on the “coolish” side, here anyway.
Thanks Louise! It was actually pretty nice here today, perfect for Zip-Lining! 🙂
I haven’t bought my Thinlit dies yet, but every time I see a project like yours made with them, I keep telling myself to get that order in!
Yes Crystal! Put in that order! They are so much fun! 🙂
This is sooooo cute!!! Just when I needed the inspiration for a baby card. You’re awesome.
Yeah! Thanks Nelda! 🙂
Cute Card! Love the Thinlit Dies! Makes things look hard, but their easy as Pies….With a Big Bang after!
Glad you’re back!!
Thank you Vicki! Yup, the Thinlits are great! Good to be back! 🙂
Zip-line to work–oh how I would love that!
Wouldn’t that be great Annie?!?!
Great card, Justin! I *love* the flap, too. Very fun and soooo cute!
Glad you had a great visit with fellow Pal, Brian.
Thanks El! Yes, Brian is great! 🙂
