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!

ok, well maybe you get lost because you are following the bird houses rather than the road signs/arrows??? (very Cle-vah to use them for arrows here!) love the map DP - great case and fun story (I'm with you about telling right or left!)

How creative and fun! Love the roadmap paper and your colors. Great story...we never get lost...we just "circle in" on our destination. Great card, Cindy!!

I always wonder what you will come up with and then when I see it I think "how perfect is this!!!" You are a true visionary!! We must be kindred sprirts, too, cause I navigate like you do...it's nice to know I'm not the only one!!! The only difference is that my DH won't even let me look at the map..how rude!!! Oh, BTW, I love everything about this fabulous card...how perfect is this!!!
