nice rerun, Kristine...I used the dome raised stickers and made one of my own with UTEE. Have a look and let me know what you think!
I created this card using other images from Artistic Outpost's adventure plate. This set is quite versatile, perhaps you might recall the Birthday card I made for DH. I used Crystal Effects to create a glass window in the phone booth...and curled a strip of paper ribbon for the phone cord. The image was stamped on GP white cs with SU real red craft. I used VersaFine majestic blue for the ball, embossing in clear. The Boston Terrier is inked with ColorBox black. The blue and red mats are unknown scraps. I raised the booth on foam mounting squares. My map paper is from Hot off the Press, they took an actual Rand McNally road map for their scrapbook paper. I couldn't resist adding a MICHIGAN license plate (Tim Holtz) and UTEE'ed a car from road trip paper also from Tim Holtz. My finishing touch was to highlight the word HOLLAND.
This card will be going to my DS who is as I type on a 2,500 mile road trip to HOLLAND, MI. George Fox University Women are playing in the Division III Basketball Finals tomorrow and if they win, will be in the final game on Saturday. Right now they are 30-0 with 10 freshman and no seniors...Sam has enjoyed the excitement of a winning team. I remember the day when a 2,500, 33 hour road trip was a piece of cake...glad I can watch it in high-def and instant replay in the comfort of my living room!
Any of you gals along the 10 state path of Sam from OR to MI, I would ask your prayers for their traveling mercies! I'm still a mama. Thanks so much for reading and your comments are gifts to me!

What a creative person you are. This is awesome and I am praying from WI. My grandson is in baseball, but he gets to ride the college bus. Sam is having the time of his life. Guaranteed!

Oh this is great! I am sure Sam will love this. All is clear weather wise here in Illinois, I am guessing he would need to pass through Chicago! I hope they win!

Sam will love this. I keep an old atlas for just this purpose! Makes a great bg. This is a wonderfully thoughtful card from mother to son. He's blessed. Prayers are following him as he travels. It is so exciting! Hope they win. I think God likes basketball too!!
