Vicki Dutcher, as hostess this week of the Stampin' B's Design Team, asked that we do some distressing on our cards this week. I did a little tearing on the cardstock and some sanding on my dp.
This card will go to one of my sons for his birthday. When he was little, he was such a train lover. While visiting my parents, if he and my Dad heard a train whistling in the distance, my Dad would get my boys in the car and carry them to the train station so my train-loving son could get a good look at the trains. So, this should bring back good memories for my son. While making the card, it brought back some good memories of my Dad for me, too.

Benz, this is so PERFECT for you son's b-day. Your image is showcased so well and I love your slightly distressed look, layout and colors. The sentiment tag is awesome. I haven't been able to get any newer tags lately among a lot of other things, but I sure am enjoying seeing yours!! Way 2 go my very, very, very senior citizen friend!!

Love that image and you paired it well with that cool orange dp and the distressing. This is a wonderful card. It is great you have wonderful train memories with your son. I always wanted to live by a train track so I could really hear the train and got my wish about 4 years ago. Now I have become so use to it that I don't even hear it unless someone mentions it - how sad is that (I shakes our house and I don't even notice that anymore)!
