It’s a Map!

I’m just thinking about how fascinated most people are with maps. I always like to be the one with the map when we’re traveling to unknown parts. My youngest son in particular has made a map his personal friend! LOL Ever watched Dora?! I can’t tell you how many pieces of paper I’ve rolled up and tied so he can play with “Map”. Today’s design has a vintage feel with lots of distressing to go with the new Vintage City Scrapblock. Believe it or not, I started out by stamping on white cardstock. A little ink and sponging and crumpling and it looks super old. I love this sentiment and I thought it worked perfectly with this map image.

Quick Tip: I love the Maya Road Sheer Journaling boxes. For this design, I used it as a mat instead of the main layer. I love how you can see a glimpse of the design underneath.

Have a fabulous weekend!
