This is for Rebecca's Falliday Challenge to use metal with a symbolic meaning; for Carey's awesome sketch challenge and for Shirley's Free 4 All Challenge -Back to the Future for which I used a train. I made it a Christmas train bringing lots of goodies for the kids and it worked great with Carey's layout. I left the train mostly uncolored. The paper, embossed panel and ticket are all left-overs from various Christmas card kit swaps. (Sorry no details provided) The glisten you see on the heart (far right) is actually on the paper. I added the metal brads and clip. The star & light (brads on train) are symbolic to me of the wise men being led on their journey to see the Christ Child. Fun challenges. Thank you Hostesses! Thank you for looking.

Diane,
I love the little Christmas train image for your card! What beautiful paper to use behind it all, the little Christmas candies and the beautiful Holly embossing in the background make this a stunning holiday card!
