My son had an electric train for a time when he was 3 years old, however, I think I had more fun with it than he did!!



My husband wanted to know why I didn't print the train station's name better.  I told him because in the Westerns I've seen - a lost of the signage was hand painted - and not always neat - hence the "not so perfect script".  I do like how it turned out, not too much on the card - but the train and sign say it all!

  15. I like the way it turned out, too. The bg paper looks a little like cork board and a perfect bg for the train. I love how you colored the train and the sign is fab.
