This is the card I made to send to Lost in the 60's (Diane) who is today's featured stamper! OMG~What a gallery! Diane, you are very deserving of today! This is the card I cased:
1. Working with this road map paper made me think about all of the times we have gotten lost! Most of the time it's going to a race track somewhere that is out in the boonies and sign up closes in 15 minutes. We are lost and probably 30 minutes away.
2. You know what it's like doing this with a kid in the car whose whole life depends on getting to the track on time?
3. This card was pretty easy to make but probably one of the most stressful since it brought back some very, very stressful situations! We always drive by a road and I say turn here! The photographer says right or left? By the time I look down and figure out which hand I write with its too late, we have passed the turn off , the next exit is 42 miles away and Brad is hyperventilating! See what I mean? Stressful! Hey I am a cardmaker, not a navigator!
4. Speaking of races, the photographer took the camera to a race so I had to use the scanner. I wonder if he and my son are lost somewhere????
I kept the layout pretty true to Diane's but I added the corners. I didn't have an arrow stamp so I had to use a birdhouse stamp! Congrats Diane!

He He.... Love your card, I'm sure Diane will love it to... I had to chuckle at your story.... I know that feeling about trying to read maps, I have to turn the map everytime we change directions and almost always get my right and lefts mixed up.... I like the designer road map paper, arrows.... tfs

I think this is delightful!! I love traveling and really need to case this, as my DH takes EVERY road there is -- we always have to go on one we have never been on! Wonderful job, as always!

Great case! It's amazing how you can personalize each card for the featured stamper- what a creaative mind you have! Love the birdhouses used as arrows!
