Two random winners will be selected from the comments left on the designers' blogs.  The winners will be announced on the NCC Blog on December 18, 2014, so be sure to check back there to see if you have won! 
 
Now that you know exactly how you can play along, let's look at some projects!  The first card I have for you today features the new set Dump Truck Birthday.  I created this one for our youngest grandson.  He just turned 5 last week!
 
 I started out with a 5.5 x 4.25 black card stock base and added a white mat.  I chose a simple black and white polka dotted DP for the base and added stamped images (caution tape and warning sign).  Both of those were stamped on goldenrod colored CS.  I stamped my focal image on Copic compatible paper and colored it to resemble one of his favorite toys.  I didn't want everything to look perfectly plumb.  Little boys like things to be a bit more haphazard!  lol
 
Here's the stamp set I used...
 
 
And if tractors are his thing... 
 
 I couldn't give this card to my little guy.  He favors a certain green and gold colored tractor!  I on the other hand, grew up with a certain blue tractor on our family farm...  makes for entertaining dinner conversations...  lol...
 
and here's the set you see here, I Dig You.
 
 
Now don't forget to visit all of my fellow "Coasters" and comment along the way!  And please stop back by this week to see several more projects I have to share!  Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
