Don't wait...let's CELEBRATE!

So clever, huh?  I just love Amber and her mom, Pam!  They definitely know how to throw a party, and I'm super excited to be able to help them celebrate Amber Ink's First Birthday!!!  Hopefully you arrived here from Shannon Erskine's amazing blog, but if not, then start at the beginning which is Taylor Usry's fabulous blog! 

For my project today I had to use this adorable new set called It's A Trainset!

So FUN!  This set comes with TEN different cars to give you lots of options for customizing your train!  I chose the Conductor's Car, the WorkHorse Car, and the Dining Car for my card today.  I also printed out a cake from the Amber Ink set Hostess with the Mostess which turned this into a perfect birthday card:)  The sentiment was computer generated. 

After I printed out my trainset, I colored it with Copics, and cut out each piece.  I cut some hills out of My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Out of the Blue dp (thanks to a svg file that my friend Leigh Ann gave me~Thanks Girl!!!) and the cloudy sky is My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly A Kite dp. 

Now it's time to hop on over to Alyssa Scritchfield's gorgeous blog~Love Her! but if you get lost along the way you can check out the master list HERE!  You have today and tomorrow to hop and leave comments, and several prizes will be announced on the Amber Inklings Blog on Friday!

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy hopping!
