I’ve got a fun Christmas card for you today. I just love this little Elf Train! It reminds me of all the great kids’ movies that will be showing before you know it. I especially love Rudolph:
Fun facts about this movie:
Rudolph no longer airs just once annually, but several times during the Christmas season. It has been telecast every year since 1964, making it the longest running Christmas TV special, and one of only four 1960’s Christmas specials still being telecast (the others being A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Frosty the Snowman). [Facts taken from Wikipedia.org]
So, keeping Hermie-the-elf-who-would-be-a-dentist in mind, here’s my Elf Train:
Stamps: Elf Train - Rubbernecker Winter Holiday #2, Happy Holidays sentiment
Paper: white, ballet blue, riding hood red, black, Daisy D’s Mistletoe Memories pad
Ink: Versafine onyx black, Versamark
Accessories: Gumdrop brads - Imaginisce (Jacksonbelle Embellishments), sewing machine, black detail EP, ticket corner punch, ribbon, yellow metallic gelly roll pen, foam mounting tape, Copic markers:

That train is FABULOUSLY colored–It really has the vibe of the Rudolf movie!! WOW!
I also love the elegance of the Fall leaves card!!
I am not playing for candy–but my favorite Christmas movie is *Its a Wonderful Life*. I love Chrismas movies in general–but this one is my all time favorite. And it is my personal tradition to put it in after the kids are in bed (dh is still at work) on Christmas Eve and watch it while I wrap gifts. My favorite animated movie is *Santa Claus is Coming to Town*. I love to say Burgermister Misterburger!! And the song *Put One Foot in Front of the Other* !!!
I love your cards Broni, that little elf train is so cute! Any little one, or big one for that matter, would love this!
Love these cards Broni! I’ve looked at the elf train just yesterday . . . too cute!
Wow love the train and how you colored it……Fabulous Broni!!
The fall card is Beautiful!!
Love them…that’s a very cute train..
My jaw dropped when I saw your post today!! I just got this stamp in the mail last night from Rubbernecker and I bought it for the same reason - it looks EXACTLY like those only claymation movies!! Can’t wait to ink my image up now! Thanks for sharing! My altime favorite movie has to be the Polar Express - it’s absolutely magical! We even have the bell from the movie hanging on our tree every Christmas!
Miracle on 34th street is my favorite tear jerker. Love your creations. TFS

Oh wow!! The coloring of that train is awesome!! The fall card is gorgeous!
Awwwww GORGEOUS!!!!! I LOVE both of them! Your coloring is just gorgeous!! LOOOOVE the JBE one, LOVE the sewing, linen, layout, fantastic as always!!
I never get tired of watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” with Jimmy Stewart; it seems to express the true meaning the Christmas spirit. Your train card is precious and it’s easy to see why you would enjoy making it. The fall card is beautiful; like the way you made the leaves.
I love both your cards, Broni…that Christmas train is sooo cute and I love the beautiful fall card!!! Your coloring is absolutely gorgeous and I love all the awesone details!!!
OMG…that train is so cool! my fav xmas movie has to be ELF… I just burst laughing through out the movie… I know… I know…
Fun & creative artwork Broni! Love the train card….too cute!
You are SO creative! I love both of these. They are so different but equally as stunning!
Fabulous cards…Love that Mellow paper with the leaves
Your Elf card is adorable! Love the images so much! You made them like they are real with your coloring! Very neat idea with circles! Your second card is gorgeous! Love the warm feeling to it!
Very pretty cards. I love the colors you picked.
OMGoodness! Your card is so cute! And you picked my favorite Christmas movie!!! I also love others - specifically A Christmas Story - but these old classic ones, like Rudolph - are the best! We even have a big, blow-up snowman (narrated on the movie by Burl Ives) in our yard at Christmastime! :0) Thanks for the chance!
Your elf train is ADORABLE, Broni! LOVE your coloring and the stitching! And the fall card is gorgeous! The stitching and linen thread are perfect!
Cute card! My all-time favorite movie is “The Christmas Story”. I watch it countless times during the holidays.
My all time favorite Christmas movie HAS to be “A Christmas Story”…….that kid cracks me right the heck up! Ü
Gorgeous cards, I’ve admired your work a long while!
My favorite Christmas movie is “Its a Beautiful Life”. Your cards are gorgeous! I bought the mellow paper pad thinking along the same lines.
My all time favorite Christmas show is Miracle on 34th Street, but I also enjoy all the wonderful children’s Christmas stories. I have never really “grown up” myself but now can enjoy these wonderful movies all over again with my 2 year old grand daughter. Your cards are both wonderful! The elf train certainly reminds me of a children’s Christmas story and you did such a great job of coloring it! I also liked the fall card very much! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your train card. The coloring was great!
My favorite Christmas movie is “The Polar Express”.
Both these cards are wonderful! Love the detail on the elf train, and I love anything fall-y, so the thank you card really appeals to me! My favorite Christmas movie is a Christmas Story—-my family groans because I know all the lines!

As usual, BOTH cards are awesome! Those little RN elves are darling and the JBE card is fantastic! Love the Fall feel to your JBE card, great job Broni!
OMGosh, that Elf Train is too cute! And I love your fall leaves card! Your work constantly inspires me!
This is so warm and pretty!
I really love that elf train! It certainly does bring the movie to mind…one MY favorites! It’s just an adorable card!
