TCP Tuesday - Stamp Challenge!

It's time for TCP Tuesday and I'm the Hostess with the Mostest!  Today I've got a stamp challenge for you and the stamp to use is Animal Train and here it is -

Pretty stinkin' cute, huh??

Jen was wanting to use this stamp and I'm in need of some baby cards so I thought it would be perfect!  Not sure what TCP Tuesday is? Read on for all the details - (lifted from Alma's blog that was lifted from Ana's blog)-

Here are the deets-
1. Each a week one of The Cat’s Pajamas DT members will host a challenge.
2. The challenges will vary {stamp, color, theme, sketch, etc.}
3. You will have until {this} Saturday night to complete the challenge.
4. Link your project on this week’s hostess’ challenge announcement. This week you will link your project to this post.
5. You must use the specific stamp for this challenge to be entered into the Swankiest Stamper contest.
6. There will be one winner each month. They will be deemed that month’s Swankiest Stamper and get $25 in Cat’s Cash {money to spend on the TCP site!}.
7. When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword TCPTUES22 for this challenge.
8. Alma will post the entries from the week the following Monday on her blog.
9. The newly crowned Swanky Stamper will be announced on the First of the Month and have his/her winning entry posted on The Cat’s Pajamas website where he/she will reign for the entire month.

For my card, I used Jen's SSFYTT (well, kind of, mine's a bit different.) She has the best sketches, you should definitely check them out!  I really need girl baby cards so I went with one of my fave color combos - brown and pink!  Enjoy! (As you've probably noticed, I've been on a paper-piercing kick lately!)

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Bummer that I don't have this stamp so I can't play along this week. Your adorable card makes me wish I had the stamp and knew people expecting babies.

ok, very excited to be participating, but a little worried that my card will not count! I have altered my image a bit to be a baby mobile instead of a train. Are we only allowed one entry because if not, I will do another card using the stamp the original way.
Thanks so much!

These cards that are being entered are great! Love the cute image! Wouldn't you know, I just placed an order with Alma and that was one stamp that I didn't add to the cart.. Writing it down in my wishlist!
