{the maps challenge…}

If you have popped by the Moxie Fab World recently, you know that Cath has SO many new chal­lenges up. I have SO many ideas for each one of these, and SO lit­tle time to exe­cute the said ideas…  I seem to have more card ideas and plans than I can shake a stick at. (And more paper/tools, too!) Too much inspi­ra­tion is not nec­es­sar­ily a bad prob­lem to have, but it can be painful at times. (I didn’t write these lines I got them from here. They ring so true in my case, and were so well writ­ten that I just had to use them!)

I did man­age to squeeze a lit­tle “me” time and get these projects done for the Map to Your Heart Chal­lenge in the Moxie Fab World 

I punched the birdie from a map, but the inno­v­a­tive­ness here is using the map to cre­ate the match­ing enve­lope. You could use a road map, and actu­ally cut out the map to have the actual road inter­sec­tions of your des­ti­na­tion address!

I also made this wall art for our kitchen. I used tiny sticker alphas to mark where home is…

(it reads “the world may be filled with adven­ture, but home is where I will always want to be…)

That’s it for today! Have a great Monday!
