When I read the challenge this morning I had something far more cutesy in mind. Plan A was to use Circus Train, but hey, two cards with that and they might help fill the street but they'd never arrive in time. Plan B was a caravan, that would surely help fill the street and reach the mall. But somehow I ended up with the smallest car in my collection.
Background is an old map of France. I sponged the edges with black and then added black EP just to make sure the ink was set and wouldn't smudge.
Rubber Romance Boulangerie and Chocolaterie stamped in Versafine Sepia. I tore the edges and sponged them, painted in some black for the road and added Flower Soft to the tree/window boxes.
Snoopy stamped on Bristol Board with Versafine Black and coloured with distress inks. The street scenes are up on very thin foam tape, Snoopy's popped up on thick foam dots.

Ha ha! I think that little Snoopy had something to do with why you ended up with your littlest car! Snort! Such a cute, cute little image Sabrina...and what lovely background you put with him...love the pretty little flowers on the vines! You did good...won't it be fun for the boys to get cards all the way from Ireland.....so cool!

Plan C is just perfect Sabrina! I love Snoopy in this car, and him tooling around France adds an exotic touch. The postmark and stamp on the envelope will be another special part of these cards. Beautiful, perfect cards for Will and Nate.

What a thrill for Nate and Will to get cards with SNoopy cruising France from a lady in IRELAND!! I am marveling at the creativeness going on here the way you put these cards together - what a super idea - you really ROCK!

Sabrina, these are just so creative! The little Snoopy's are looking for a parking place outside the chocolate shop and bakery, eh? No chance in Paris, right??? : ) Love your take on this and these are going to be really special cards for the little guys!

Hello My Irish Friend... It's so nice to see you still hanging around the tea party when I pop in from time to time! I still have your triangle(ish) card on my desk!
I love the snoopy cards! Joe cool!
