It's Sunday night and is anyone else proscrating?  I am doing just that.  Putting off this blog post by going on Pinterest and anything else I can think of.  

My honey-do-myself list went pretty good.  There was one thing I didn't start, but that's ok.  I went overboard on other things that was on the list.  For example, instead of just vaccuuming my stamp room, I decided to re-do parts and re-organize.  This wasn't planned but totally necessary.  Now I need my husband's help in putting things on the walls.  Since he is travelling again this week, I'm hoping for next weekend.  By then, hopefully it will be vaccuumed.  It really needs it.  

I made this card especially for Megan.  Before she left for England, I tucked it inside her suitcase.  Megan found it the next day when she was unpacking.  It brought a smile to her face, knowing she was so far away from her family.  I received a Snapchat right away for a thank you.  The picture is not from my usual place in my stamp room.  That's because I forgot to take a picture!  Duh!  So, this picture comes all the way from England.

The stamp set is in the Annual Catalog and is called En Route.  When I saw this set, I knew it was a must.  With the travel we do, someday I will get back to scrapbooking and this set will definately come in handy.

Did you get the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits?  They are sooo awesome.  I'm having trouble NOT using them on all my cards.  I contained myself and only used them around the three travel symbols.  Very tempting to use them around the sentiment too.

The neutral cardstock is from othe All is Bright DSP pack.  It's now retired, but don't throw it away!  This particular pattern is not Christmas related and works perfectly.  I wanted a very subtle pattern, but not enough to take away from the rest of the card.  The Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist really pop out against it.

The "map" had to be fussy cut out with the paper snips.  I was so glad it was pretty much straight lines.  Made it much easier and tolerable to cut out.  At least the globe could be cut out with the 3/4 Circle Punch.  

I have her address, so now I can send her another card.  We Skyped today and Megan is doing fine. The highlight for her was being able to see her cat and dog.   She adjusting to the English way of living and trying to make some travel plans. We can't wait until we can start making our travel plans to go and visit her.
