This is my card for WT582 which was to use school supplies. I have not been in a classroom for awhile, but...when I was in gradeschool, we had big maps that pulled down. They always seemed to be in front of the blackboard. I saw one of those at an estate sale once and always wish I would have gotten it. I love maps of any kind and around here IF we have any, they go in my drawer as soon as they are not used anymore.
I glued the piece of map onto cardstock and then die cut the Happy Birthday from an adhesive mat stack and stuck it on. I think it makes a nice masculine card.

Another map lover here! When we cleared out my dad's house after his last move, I liberated a few left- behind maps for my craft supplies. Great card, Carol.

I love maps too. We used to pour over them and figure out new and different ways to go - and I always loved the map parts on the standardized tests! This is super cute~!
