Map to Your Heart Challenge

I found a way cool challenge over at "Oh My Moxie Fab" -
A Map to Your Heart Challenge

The challenge is to use a map in your creation....
so I put my thinking cap on.

I couldn't find any maps in the house, or in the garage, or anywhere!
We tend to pull things up online to check things out, and
at some point - I must have disposed of all the maps in the house.

Anyways - I pulled up a map of Bedford County, PA -
which is where I am from....printed it out onto cardstock,
and this is what I came up with ~


I can't wait to find a reason to send it to someone!

This sketch is from the
Love My Tapes Sketch Challenge


The sentiment is from the Basketful of Flowers over at 
Paper and Such and it says "just strolling by to say hi"

Thanks so much for stopping by!
