It's Monday again...I am mourning the end of my glorious vacation...anybody else feel my pain??? I am thankful I had time for the TLC and WT before I leave for outside my home job. My design is busy, busy, busy today...just like the life of our &D!
Thanks to both Joan for the pop-up part of the sentiment (TLC433) and to Sabrina for 'If music be the food of love...play on' (WT430) challenges this week.
I had begun the music challenge last Thursday, but just couldn't 'make' it come together. I used the Stampers Anonymous signpost image, stamping it onto vintage sheet music that is so frail, it tears if you touch it...the booklet was a gift from a dear OLE friend so each time I use it I think of her. I knew I wanted to make a signpost card for our high school graduate using maps, musical notes...
The TLC challenge today provided the rest of my story...with great adventuring words POPPed atop the signpost. May the road always lead where you need to be hopefully a reminder that there will be twists and turns on the way to "THERE".
Thanks so much for your comments...they will brighten my first day back at work...and I will remember *2* this work is getting me where I ultimately want to *B*!

Great card. Love all the signs. Especially #3 on your list. I can easily "wonder," even if it's to my own little dream world. lol I like your map too. Looks like it might be from my part of the country. tfs

Oh my, Susan - I just LOVE that musical signpost. And what an inspirational sentiment too - you must have the best collection of those! I know that back-to-work feeling , I hope today was an easy start back.
