Hidy Ho Stampers,
How is everyone on this glorious day!? Today is opening day at the Saratoga Springs, New York, Race Course. It's one of the 10 most beautiful places in the world and it's the oldest track in the country (click here for a great article on the history of the track)! It's gorgeous. I love to go to the track to watch all the beautiful people and to see the glorious horses. It's always fun to go. Since I didn't go to convention this year (gasp – first time ever since I became a demonstrator – 15 years), I get to go to opening day! YIPPPEEEEE Saratoga is filled with history, just beautiful.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to share it with me! Please come back often.
Hidy ho Deb, loved your card and video. Really would like measurements if you wouldn’t mind. This sketch would be so perfect for many stamps. I also wanted you to know that I am still receiving 2 emails every time you post. Thanks again for your ideas, so enjoy reading your blog .
This is just such a wonderful card! I’ll be making these for sure! TFS
a well done tutorial; thanks for sharing; I get so excited when I see your blog heading in my emails, as I know something good is going to be viewed!
Two days in a year for very innovative videos—–thanks!
I meant to say two days in a row not in a year—LOL
Really cool technique! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
What a gorgeous day to go to the track. Hope you were a winner!
Beautiful card, Deb! Thanks for sharing the video!
Since moving to FL 11 years ago, visiting the track is one of the things I miss! It’s so beautiful there. We loved to go for breakfast, too. Hope you had a great opening day!
I am sooo excited to see your video as I purchased this May/June (??!! LOL!) set from you….love this and will be making it for our anniversary in November – but most probably won’t wait that long!!! TFS all that you do!
Love your card. You were missed at convention!
Hi Carol, the measurements for the train pieces are determined by the framelits that you use. I happened to use the square framelits here. It is also dictated by the stamp set you use. If you have any questions. Let me know. If you are still receiving two emails, check the bottom of the emails, one should say it’s powered by FeedBURNER and one is powered by FeedBLITZ, DELETE the BURNER not the BLITZ. Then you will stop receiving the second one. I stopped using Feedburner. Please stop by often. deb http://www.stampladee.stampinup.net for all your shopping needs.
