Chugga chugga! LOL Everytime I see this image, "The Engineer", it makes me think of the Christmas Store in Pidgeon Forge, TN. It has a little miniature train ride out front complete with an adult conductor. :-)
This week at Mo's Digital Pencil our challenge is "Buttons". I managed to find a little space to squeeze a couple in after completing my transcardanintal railroad. LOL I TOTALLY cased the doodling off my team mate Anja's card from last week. What do ya think about that sentiment? hee hee I can relate! It's another amazing freebie from Paulette at Create with TLC.
Twang (aka Lisa Minckler) this card is dedicated to you. Not the age related part, but the popsicle sticks. LOL You never fail to make me laugh OR amaze me with the types of materials you manage to incorporate into your projects. Now mind you popsicles sticks are pretty mild compared to some of the stuff she uses, but they're not normal card construction props so she's rubbing off on me at least a little. If you don't know her or haven't visited her blog (You Made me Ink!), go check out her wicked sense of humor and crazy awesome crafty imagination.
So speaking of the popsicles sticks, here's a close up of my handmade railroad track.
So, "Buttons" leaves a lot of room to work with a variety of Mo images. pick one and come join in this weeks challenge for your chance at a $5.00 store voucher. All aboard! LOL
