(This is my second post today! See my Growing In Unity Post here and if you're looking for my Gallery Idol post, it is here.)
Amber Ink is turning one today and celebrating by having a party train blog hop with TONS of fabulous "torchbearers" from the past year. If you're following along the hop, you should have just seen Lindsey's fabulous Bashful Blogging creation. If you're just joining us, make sure to visit the Amber Ink blog to start at the beginning, since there will a PRIZE drawn from the comments on each blog!
The entire time I was making this card I was giggling to myself. Can you guess why?
YES! CHEAP SEATS!!!!!! Do not even get me started on DirecTv cutting out ESPN Classic. That was the only sports channel I watched! Can't I trade The Fishing Network out for some Randy and Jason? If you need to go watch all the spelling bee episodes right now, I completely understand.
But back to my card, I used Amber Ink's new "It's a Trainset" set. I imported the jpgs into the Silhouette software, then used the trace feature to make the separate parts to cut out, then of course good ol' Elmer's came to the rescue again. The presents were a Silhouette cut file, but I did make the train tracks all by myself! I had to break out the math and everything. Here's a close-up, don't you love how train-y that metallic paper looks?
And now it's on to the next stop on this party train: the wonderful Orange Torchbearer Cheryl Gorka at She Stamps. (Oh, but before you leave, don't forget to vote for the Paper Craft Gallery Idol here!)

Those train tracks are A-MAZING! Fabulous job - the train is absolutely perfect.
Yes, I linked and watched the whole thing and now I think you've introduced me to something badddd...and snarky ;)...and I'll be searching a little later for some more badness. In the meantime, I was wondering how you did those tracks cuz I thought, she couldn't have. But you did! No wonder you are top 15!

Sure, is this fair? I have you wanting one little stamp set (with a really quite intelligent dog) and you have me jonesing after a Silhouette! Not that I could ever approach your awesomeness with it, so I guess I won't even try. :D Really, Meg, this card is perfect. I LOVE the train tracks!!! But the train looks so fab die cut, too. Yep, totally awesome. Yay, orange alumnae!
What a great idea. I just love how this turned out.

LOVE! The train track frame is FABULOUS! I soooooo need a Silhouette. You should design for them. You do the coolest stuff and have me sold on one. :)

Oh my~!!! You are the Silhouette Goddess! Love the tracks around it. This is so cool!
This is an awesome train creation...that train track is such a fun and detailed addition!
I think this would have taken a fair bit of maths to work out. So fun! Your holidays sure have been productive and creative.
Whoa, orange girl, you just blew my mind. Using your magic machine to cut digital stamps -- genius! The tracks are probably more genius since they require math, though -- good thing you have math skillz! I love this sweet card!
I have to be really careful and not let either of my kids see this over my shoulder or they will be ready to trade me in for you. Seriously though, love the card, had to read all of how you did it...really stumped me with the tracks at first. Love that you threw a little engineering at it. Sorry that was so much cheesier than I meant for it to be. I am a cricut girl, but after reading that you can cut out your stampity goodness with the Silhouette machine, may have to do some thinking about that.
