Finding My Way Back with a Map

Hello there

I hope there are still some of you out there still reading my poor neglected blog.  I'm not gonna go into the details but a lot has been happening here but as everything has settled down and I've still been crafting so I'm back to  share some things with you.

My first post is a birthday card I made for my future FIL.  He loves to travel and loves old maps so this one was pretty straightforward.






I matted some old maps DP onto some black card, layered it and used some photo corners.  As usual I made a matching envelope. 

If you can see the detail on the circle map you'll see it mentions Australia - I thought this was appropriate as my future BIL lives there.

I promise you won't have as long to wait for my next post ... :)
