...MAPS

CSCC 65 is Sleepless in Seattle with red hearts required.  I love it.  I was born and raised in Seattle and I love when it's in the movies...It could be a star!

Call me what you will, but I love maps.  They bring back good memories and send me into a dream world of travel and wonderful things to see and do.  When Sam takes his son, Jonah, to the map hanging on the wall, my heart skipped a beat.  I always loved those maps at school, so I used the maps in the movie to inspire the Anniverary card I made for my husband.  The map on the wall wasn't the only one in the movie;  there was a map showing the cross-country flights, the globe in Tiffany's window, and at the end, as the camera panned away from the Empire State Building it became map of the U.S.in lights.
I used words from"The Heart Does Go On", the song from last weks challenge movie, "Titanic" printed on the computer and cutout to look like directional signs.  The signs and hearts are glued to the United States portion of a World map.  It was sitting around, and my husband wanted to toss it...no way, I could use it, and I did!

There isn't any stamping on the front but I stamped inside.  It's plain inside except the words.  This is from the "Sweethearts" stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.  I used Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White cardstock from Stampin' Up.

Thanks for coming by, and remember maps make great backgrounds for projects if you don't have any more room to put them on the walls.
