Samantha was inspired by the children’s book series by Mo Willems: Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and The Duckling Gets a Cookie?! She says, “both of these books are near and dear to my heart since when my little Menn were actually little (ha!). They LOOOOVED these books and always made us ALL crack up!”

She started by stamping the images from the Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Car Critters, All the Speech Bubbles and Milk and Cookies with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out. Then she transformed the larger duck image into the Pigeon.


Samantha used the Peekaboo Backdrop dies to create the sort of book/comic book grid that is used in the book. She used Distress Oxide Inks in Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose to add ink blending all around.


The sentiments were stamped from All the Speech Bubbles in all of the tiny speech bubbles!

This is so sweet, Samantha! Thank you for sharing this inspired card!

Mimi created the cutest city scene to inspire you today!


Mimi began this adorable city scene with a Large Stitched Rectangle inked with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, creating crosswalks using Sunray Stencil. Next she used the rectangle piece in the Magic Picture Changer Oven Add-On (you could substitute Small Stitched Rectangle or Small Mini Slimline) to make the four sidewalks, adding traffic signs and fire hydrants from Village Heroes.


She stamped all the images from Car Critters, Bubbles of Joy, Mice on Ice, Simply Celebrate Critters and Tiny Christmas with Jet Black Ink and colored them with Copic markers. She found the word “dream” in Fly High to stamp on the license plate. Finally, the white embossed the sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock to finish this super fun city scene!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing card design with us, Mimi! I love your creativity!

There is another week for this challenge which closes at 11:59PM Eastern Time on Sunday April 30. Will you be making a city scene or a country scene? We can’t wait to see!
