Keep in Touch!

Hello everyone...First I want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day...I'm not Irish but I always wear green on March 17th...I think that makes me an honorary Irishwoman at least one day a year!!!

I am hosting the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast again this week and I have chosen a fun challenge this week....Transform a Map...into something wonderful!!!! Maps are so trendy now...they have been used to make all kinds of things, for example:

1. You can make flowers from a map.
2. Create a background or use it on a layer or two.
3. Paper piece a dress for a girl image
4. Use it for die cut or punched trim
5. You can use a map to create a * I miss you across the miles * card or a safe travel card. 

What if you don't have a map....you can use the map in a telephone book or print one off the net.
See...you have no excuse not to play!!!

I used a map of New Orleans from a trip we made over 10 years ago....I used it for the background of my card along with the motor home image from Rupa Shevde's Are We There Yet ? set from Gina K. Designs. The image was colored with Copics and the die cut direction signs were cut from Pumpkin Pie and Hawaiian Shores card stock. I cut the message bubble by hand and the sentiment  is from the same set. The twine and button finish it off.

This is also for Cath's  Moxie Fab World's Speech Bubble Challenge....check it out over at the Moxie Fab World's blog!!

Thanks for stopping by....have a great day!!!!!
