How cute are teeny tiny traffic cones?

Pretty stinkin' cute!





Stacey has inspired us once again with her Jewelry Color Inspiration #41. Here are the colors:




And here's my card:



I have had this cute little construction stamp since before I was a consultant and never (gasp) used it. Hmmm, that seems to be a theme here lately. Anyway, the colors fit perfectly for the stamp set!



Here's a traffic cone story for free. When I was a cop we were issued traffic cones to keep in the trunk of the patrol cars for use at wrecks, holes in the street, etc. They used to threaten us that if we lost one, or left one somewhere and it was stolen, we would have to pay for the replacement cones ourselves. Know how much they were worth? Fifty bucks a piece. We were pretty careful about keeping track of our cones. {snicker snicker I said cones...} May I blame that tasteless joke on the Tylenol Sinus?



Details: all CTMH unless noted

Paper: crystal blue, star spangled blue, white daisy cs

Ink: orange, honey, star spangled blue

Stamps: Little Builder, Happy Birthday

Other: orange and blue brads from stash and foam squares

What an adorable card! I love those cones, and can't believe how much the real things cost...it seems there's always one lying around or being run over....

This is too cute! I love those 'cones' ha ha. Great use of the colors. Sounds like you have the little ones 'allergies' now?
