My big brother and only sibling, Mark, turns 70 next week! I've had this card in my head for awhile and finally put it to paper this week. This is an old Karen Burniston die from her Sizzix days and is a favorite of mine. Mark has been a train buff all his life. When we were kids I had to be careful walking into his room so as not to step on and mess up his enormous collection of "Trains Magazine" which he started collecting at the age of 3 according to our mom. Anyway here is my card to him...an easy chair, a pile of his favorite magazines, the family dog Max and of course I had to put a bird on it. Mark and I laugh about how my birds are his trains. WE. ARE. GEEKS.

amazing card

That's a super card!! Love all the details. He will certainly enjoy it!!

He's going to love it!
You're a great sister and very talented!

W O W...simply excellent! Happy Birthday to Mark, one lucky guy.

Super card! Love all the details and the mini magazines.

It looks like you have a hobby in miniatures as well as cardmaking! That is wonderful!

Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments! Once I get involved making this type of card I really have fun with it.

Debbi the mini mags were a moment of brilliance and I think made the card. By going to Trains Magazines' site I was able to copy all the individual back issues and print them out through Photo on Mac using the proof sheet option. I was lucky the scale was fairly close.

Wow! That's not just a card or a work of 3-D art, it's personalized sculpture!
Excellent work!

OMG! Farley, you have out done yourself! Amazing card.

really cool!

Farley what a fantastic card. You really did a wonderful job and he is sure to love it.
