Jim's Birthday card



Ok so I had the challenge of creating a Birthday card for my father in law, I am sure that you all know that it seems like more of a challenge to make cards for guys, and you want to make something that they will like and you just never know.... So I asked his girlfriend what she thought, and she suggested a motor home card since they are going to be taking a trip to New york at the end of the month. But since the Going places cart is still on the wish list rather than in inventory ;) I had to find something else. When I saw the covered wagon on the paper dolls cart I knew what I had to do. You see we live in Oregon and since my father in law came out west form New York many years ago it just seemed prefect! I used the "rub on" idea from the Cricut MB http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=2034223 I also used my wonderful Design Studio

this is what I came up with
