This is for the Tea potters Challenge to make a train card for Jack who is almost 3 and having surgery on the 22nd. He loves trains! I knew about little Jack a few weeks ago. When I was in a gift shop recently, I bought this train sticker activity book for him. I purposely made my card large with heavier paper so the sticker book could ride along. On eBay, I got a tremendous deal on this train set and tracks wheel two months ago. This is the first time I've used them. At first I made the tracks black, but that didn't look right, so did it again in brown and put the strip down over the black. I stamped the train separately. I didn't want to cut out each car separately; instead I cut around the train so it could sit on the tracks. I used this fabulous washi tape with grass at the bottom. Finished with a stamped sun, clouds and a get well verse at the top. Hope Jack heals up quickly and all the train cards help him to feel better along the way. Thanks for looking!

Love the staging of the wonderful book you got. And all the extra details you did for lil Jack on his card. It just shows how much heart is put into these cards for our ms Ann's precious grandbaby.The sun smile is sure to bring sunshine to overcast those adorable clouds. The tracks in something other then black is a nice change up. I love the sentiment!! I really need to get me some. Maybe in ms Sharon's out going box!! Lol *wink. Did you happen to shop @ ms. Sharon's out the door sale? Haha
Beautiful and adorable card with lots of love into it!! MFS!!

Such a neat idea the way you did your card---smart. The addition of the sticker book is sweet and Jack will love it and your card. Nice to find deals on Ebay.

I'm getting bits and pieces of Jack and I'm so sorry to hear of someone so young requiring surgery. What a wonderful and thoughtful card (heavier cardstock, etc.). Bless Jack, his family, friends, and all of the supporters here!

Diane, this is just fabulous! I absolutely love this darling little train and the super cute little tracks. The sentiment is wonderful and really works well with the bright smile on this wonderful sun! You are so very thoughtful to be including this wonderful train sticker book as a gift to go with the card! Jack is going to love this for sure! ~Karen.
