The Baby Guessing Game

I am so very excited!!!  My little brother and his beautiful wife are having a baby!!!  I've known for a little while, but I've been waiting to post this until they made the official announcement.  :)   And ... of course...I had to make a card for the occasion.  I didn't want just a 'congrats' card, I wanted something fun, and to reflect their fun personalities.  So I came up with a baby guessing game.  Since it is too early to find out the sex of the baby, I thought this would be a silly game, they could spin it each day and see what turns up the most!! :)
I used one of the Tim Holtz Game Spinners, to make it actually spin!!  The thing that took the longest when making this card was drawing all the baby faces on.  Since I can't see exactly what I am drawing, it ended up throwing away about 27 babies with faces that didn't run out so great.  Haha. 

Here is a close up of the spinner and game:

I ended up playing with it for about a day before I sent it.  Lol!  I kept getting girls and twin girls... I think I only got boys two times out of about 1,000 spins!  So we'll have to see how accurate it is. Haha!

Here's a quick video of the spinning action (before the game was attached to the card):

And another pic:

Leave me a comment, let me know what you think!! :)
