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!

Sorry you stressed out when making this card, but I have to say it was worth it (for us anyway). This is just so perfect the way you incorporated Dianne's SCS name in your card. Great job.

Oh, you have revealed the real meaning of my "handle." The last 20 years of my work career I was on the road most of the time - near and far away. Well, I stayed lost at least half the time. One thing about being lost- you find new ways to arrive at the same place!!! Love your card- love the birdhouses....just toooooooo cute. Thanks so much for playing today Cindy.

Yup, I'm sure the majority of us identify with your story today, Mothermark. I like the map BG DP and the arrow embellishmens.
