BBTB2: Cricut - Polar Express Train Layout

 My grandson loves trains, he has a few sets, including this one he got for Christmas last year.  I have had this layout saved in my mind for a few years, and had an example from Pat Johnson who designed the original years ago.  Her train, which I used, is made from Basic Shapes.  The original design is pictured at the bottom of this post.  I finally got around to making it, only 11 months after Christmas!  

The layout fits in nicely with our challenge for the next 4 weeks - Wrap It Up.  The stacked gifts are for journaling and I also added gifts on the train car.  Used print and cut to write Polar Express 2019 on the train engine.  This was a fun layout to make. We are partnering with the Double Trouble blog, so the rules are a little different.  Go on over to the Bitten by the Bug2 blog for all the information.  Have a great holiday everyone!

Here is the original inspiration:

It's Your Day Card

 

I work for a big communications company and there are always times when I need a work related card - retirements, birthdays, promotions, etc.  so I made a batch of these cards a while back,  I think they are great for male or female.  I really like the patterned paper, it seemed to really complete the card.   This card is going out to a friend who is retiring today.  The 'It's Your Day' phrase is from the Celebrations cart, and the telephone is from Heritage.  I Stickled the phone just to bling it up a bit.

Birthday cards for co-workers

I work for the phone company and send out a lot of cards. Made several of these for birthdays and congratulations for next year. They look masculine, cause I work with a lot of guys. But, I think for gals too. Also linking this to My Pink Stamper in an entry for a prize.

It's Your Day - Phone Card

I work for the phone company, so I created several copies of this card to use for promotions, retirements, birthdays, etc. I really like how this came out, it has a muted purple, yellow, beige background that tied in with the purple and pink phone. I put stickles on the keypad to make it pop. I will most likely make a similar card in more masculine colors. Carts used: From My Kitchen and Celebrations
