Matthew - New Arrival via Airplane card

Today I bring to you a very special card for the arrival of Matthew to a very special couple.  In just a couple more weeks the arrival of Matthew is planned via a scheduled C-section.  Matthew's parents have been friends with my mom for many many years and I have become close friends with Matthew's mom over the last couple of years. 

I chose to use the airplane from the New Arrival Cricut cartridge because I know that Matthew's room is decorated in planes, trains, and automobiles.  I also tried to best match the color scheme as well.

I used these items to create this card:

• Design Studio
• New Arrival Cricut cartridge - plane, banner and clouds
• Plantin Schoolbook - Matthew on banner
• foam squares - on plane, banner and clouds
• Glossy Accents - on the windows of the plane
• Brad - on the propeller
• floss - between the plane and banner
• brown ink - on the edge of the banner
• My Craft Spot - clear stamps - Inside and Out Set #2 - sentiment inside card, "A baby is a gift from Heaven above...bringing joy down to earth filling hearts full of love."

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Fantabulous Cricut - Challenge Me Monday #128 -Trains, Planes, & Automobiles  - open til 9/15
• Use it Tuesday - Challenge #39 - Anything Goes - all of the products I used are part of my stash (nothing new) especially the cloud paper I've had for years - open til 9/21
• Hooked on Craft Challenges - Challenge #24 - create a card for a male or a males birthday - open til 9/29
• DL ART - Thankful Thursday - 1000 Post Linky Party - open til 9/30

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my Matthew - New Arrival via Airplane card.
