Thanks are in order to Wendybell for getting us to think about brad(S) in a whole new way! I used mine for hubcabs today.
And yes, I'm still thinking about road trips now that DS has been gone for all of 18 hours...'are you there, yet? safe and sound, yet!!! I used Artistic Outpost adorable vintage truck for my vehicle of choice, VersaMark and red embossing powder onto GP white cs. I used big silver brads for the wheels. My road trip paper is by WUBE and the vintage map is Paper Love Designs. I stapled the map to my road with red staples, popped the truck on foam squares and mounted it all onto a white cs. The sentiment is Stampers Anonymous.
I am getting fun text messages and updates along the way...I'm certain my son knows this eases my mind...I'm just gonna keep thinking, "Are ya BACK yet?" Just kidding!!!

This is incredible. I love the truck. I know exactly that feeling of dread you are having. He is so brave for doing this on his own. What would we mothers do without text messaging. My girls laugh at me.
I love the winding road behind your truck. This is an awesome card. Love all of it. Hugs to you. It's hard to let go but even greater at this age when they return to you....

What a wonderful thought filled card! You always come up with the best sentiments to go with your awesome images... and this is no exception! Love the hubcaps on this truck... love the map and the winding road beyond. I'll never forget when my daughter first started taking off on her own... I'd be a nervous wreck until she was back home. It is so hard for us to let go... but we thrive on the text messages and phone calls... and the direct line we have to the greatest protector of all!
