Cocoa's Train_Happy Birthday

Several weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Makiko from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps asking me if I would be one of their September guest designers.  Of course!  I was honored that they would ask me, I absolutely love Korin's images, they just make me smile!

So this week's challenge is Take me Away! -- Use any image(s)/element(s) that take you somewhere -ex. trains, airplanes, ballons, cars, trucks, bicyles and so on..  I chose to use Cocoa's Train.   He's really going places with this spinner card!

 I do hope your eyes don't get crossed with this card, LOL!  It turned out a bit busier than I intended!  This is the first spinner card I made and will totally be making some more, they are so much fun!  The paper is some I've had in my stash for a long time.  All the tutorials I saw said to use a 1/2" circle punch; I had no idea they would be so hard to find!  I finally found a 5/8" punch and then used 2 nickles instead of pennies. I designed the hearts and cloud and printed from the computer. 


                                                           Works beautifully! 


I hope you have a chance to play along with us.  You don't have to use Sweet 'n Sassy digis, but we'd love it if you did!  Be sure to use a digital image and follow the "Take me Away" theme.

    I didn't realize from the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge home page that this was a spinner card! How FUN is that!?!?! Your cheery card is sure to bring a smile to its recipient's face.
    Congrats on your guest spot with us at the SNSDC. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you create this month.
