This is my Valentine card for my Grandson. I was inspired by his sippy cup! The side says, " All aboard for some Valentine fun! Happy Valentine's Day! The other side has a picture of my grandson in his overalls- He looks like a conductor!

Great card!! I'm sure your granson will love it (and hopefully, his parents will put in in his "treasure" book so that later he can really appreciate what his grandma made for him!)

I don't have a template. I used a circle nestie for the face. I cut a black oval and then a blue oval. I cut the ends of the blue oval off and then cut the very edge of the black oval to glue to the blue oval to form the roof. The rest are either cut free hand or used SU punches. The ties of the railroad I stamped with SU background stamp that looks like wood. Of course, the Pyramid instructions you can find on www.stampowl.blogspot.com Look under her blog archive on Feb 17, 2008. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your comment!

I love this card! Anyway, how big is this card and is there anyway you can tell me where did you get most of the stuff because I'm new at this. I wanted to make this card for our son's birthday next month. Thanks!

This is perfectly Thomas!! We had Thomas The Tank Engine in our lives for years, every day first thing when my son awoke he would ask me "play tracks?" Love this idea.

OMGosh...I absolutely LUV LUV LUV this card...I have a grandson who is a train lover at 3 yrs old. I made this for him and he loved it. Thank you so much for your inspiration!!! I didn't know the dimensions of your card, so it got abit big...which is good for a 3 yr old. Started with the hearts (SU heart punch) and went from there.
