Today the CAS challenge is - World Travel. I've had this gorgeous vellum for years and today I chose to make a simple 'postcard' card. I added a jumbo brad and ribbon and secured the vellum under a spare stamp, which I popped up with foam pads.
I looked at the name on the postcard and found myself putting the name in a search engine. Was this a copy of an actual postcard addressed to
''Mrs Anna Sophia Schoppenhorst'' I wonder ? Here's the link I found and the lady DID live in Higginsville. My heart is still racing!

What a fun story, Sandie, and how cool to actually decided to google it and trace your papers to an actual person! This makes such a nice CAS card with just that bit of gold ribbon for embellishment!
