CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #76

I hope that a good and safe Christmas and New Year was had by everyone.  My Christmas plans were changed at the last minute. I was due to host a family Christmas at my place but due to daughter, son in law and nephew all testing positive I had to go down to Bristol to spend Christmas with my sister.  Not a hardship but she was supposed to be coming to me.

My first CD Sunday Plus card for 2022 is a birthday card for one of my Great Nephews - Arlo.  I remember that I started off last year with a card for the same nephew.  Last time it was a spaceship and this time it is a puffer train.

 

The image - which I have decoupaged -  comes from the La Pashe Big One CD  - Volume 1 - Remember When?

This has made a 6" x 8" (almost) card and I love these big and bold images.  They make such great cards for little ones.

Now that Arlo has a new younger brother (there are now three little terrors) I will have to find some  more and different images for future cards. I am sure that I will find something on La Pashe.

So a latish Happy New Year from me and I look forward to your visits chez-moi.

Carol

    We did a steam train ride along the Devon coast when we were courting and a few years ago and other one on the East somerset railway with lunch as a celebration of birthdays. It seems very little boy dreams of being on a steam train, I am sure he will love this card, you have caught the atmosphere of the train ride in the picture.

    I love steam trains although I remember being a bit intimidated by the noise as a small child. I got over it and always enjoy a ride on them now. Your card creates a great atmospheric scene and I'm sure Arlo will love it.

    That is a wonderful card for a 5 y.o. boy, Carol, but for the life of me, asking rhetorically, what was wrong with choo-choo train? xoxo

      Hi Aimeslee.
      We have a few names for steam trains. Puff puff, choo-choo, puffer, etc. I have just always called them puffers,

    I've not met a little boy yet who dosen't like trains. Both of my Grandsons love them. A fantastic card Carol.

    What a great card. I'm sure Arlo will love it. La Pashe create such great images for us to work with.
