Here's my take on the OWH Stars and Stamps sketch challenge #250. I used a piece of an old road map, along with some circle dies and a red snippet from my stash. The sentiment is from SU!, the gold-embossed die-cut anchor was done with a Marianne die, and I added some random tiny negative stars left over from a previous project. The final touch was a piece of navy twine from Whisker Graphics that was a free sample.
I'm also entering this into the Snippets Playground #168 as well as the Cuttlebug Mania 2nd anniversary challenge to use a die cut machine and 2 of something. I used 2 Spellbinder die cut circles. (Thanks for letting me know about this challenge Di)
Wishing everyone a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by :)

Well done...the red banner adds the perfect pop!
Oh Carol - you did it again! What a stunning card - so clever and beautifully designed and made as always.
Why not enter it into the current Cuttlebug Challenge which is celebrating 2 years since the challenge started. You have to use a manual die cutting/embossing machine plus, in this case. the number 2. This qualifies hands down! Be quick though as the challenge closes in 14 hours!

Awesome card Carol. I love how you used the map. thanks for sharing ~ Pam
Carol, this is one of the coolest ideas I have seen in a long time! I love how your sentiment plays right along with the map. Simply Amazing!
clever card!!! Love it! The embellished diecut anchor is perfect!
Oh, this is stunning!!! What a supercreative work you made!! Love this project, and the ancor looks great with this twine!! Another fabulous card!!
I love the twine twined through the anchor--fabulous card. I love the idea of using road maps. I kept quite a stash of them until I realized that it was years later and I never touched them.
Another stunning example of your expertise! Love the way you wound the cord and mounted the anchor! Nice job, Carol!
This is a great take on the sketch Carol. I love when real map paper is used on a card because it looks so neat. I have always love this sentiment from SU, it just grabs my attention each and every time I see it. You have a winner in this card my friend. Hugs, Brenda

Great take on your sketch inspiration and I'm loving that you used the old map as a circle. What better image to fit your sweet sentiment. Love the bold red banner and like the watermark too. TFS & Hugs

OK this is just freaking brilliant! I love the twine through the anchor, and the map? Oh yeah. Awesomeness!
Hi Carol! Another cool card! Love the map and and anchor element - they go great with the SU! sentiment. Hope you are doing well.
Fantastic take on this sketch. Love that map and the anchor, wonderful ideas for this sentiment. Enjoy the evening.
Carol,
What a fabulous card! Love that recycled map. It really is perfect with your sentiment, and the circular elements bring extra attention to that Earth part of your sentiment.
Thanks so much for playing along with our OWH Sketch Challenge. :)
