Oh what an exciting post today!! As if the rest of the weeks events were not exciting……
Today, my birthday daughter decided to treat herself to a trip for her birthday. A BIG trip! So, of course in mom fashion, I have to document it with a card.
I pulled out the retired stamp set, Sentimental Journey and the DSP, I Am Me. I just happened to find a world map on one of the sheets. So cool! It got the gears to turning…..
But, I was still stumped on a layout……so, I checked my emails and found this sketch over Create with Connie and Mary. Although I think they are looking for fall type entries – it went just perfect for what I had in mind. See the CCMC323 sketch –
Very, very appropriate for my focal point, I must say.
And here is what I came up with –
Squeal! I love it. I got quite excited with the way it turned out. Happy, happy dance!
So, I don’t care if it’s not a fall themed card – I was inspired and that is the point of card challenges. Thanks!
I am very excited to hear about this latest adventure my daughter is going on. Such a traveler. She can scratch this off her ‘Bucket List’!! SAFE and HAPPY travels my dear!! And, lots of LOVE to you!!!
Happy Stampin’
