3M: Take Me Home, Country Roads ............

Hi friends!

It's the 9th day of the month which means it's time

for a new card creation with the Three Musketeers!

This month, as the July hostess,
 I had the honor of choosing the stamp.

Since it's summer, and many are traveling or are on holiday,
I thought it would be fun to color this Stampendous travel trailer!

One thing that brings me great joy is traveling.

Oh the places I'd go!
I have wanderlust ~ no doubt about it.
In fact, that's my favorite word ♥

 A little confession!
I really had no idea what to do with this stamp :/
I did have fun coloring all of those little states across America!

I remember years of watching dad read the old Rand McNally maps
to get us from here to there and everywhere in between.
Long LONG before GPS and iPhones and Siri helping with navigation ;)

 

I channeled the memory of those colorfully planned atlas/maps

and did a multi-colored USA and carried the color scheme through-out the card. 
Second, this stamp is HUUUUUUUGE!

  I kept the card clean and simple and A2 size ~
the stamp alone is 4" x 5.25" ... pretty large!
 It's colored with prismacolor markers and the card front is popped up

on 3D foam ~

so from the side, this is a pretty thick card.

 

Since we are the 3 Musketeers,
you can see Barb's card here and Jeanette's card here with this stamp.
Every month, we post something new and different ..
it's always a surprise and iit's like a little treat in the mailbox each monnth!

 
Jeanette, Barb, me! ↑
 

I hope this summer gives you the chance to hit the open roads,
take a little time out for traveling (or a lot!) 

 I'm lucky to be able to micro-adventure around our diverse city and state ♥

I'll be canoeing in our tropical mangroves instead of white wate rafting,
rock climbing with a lead belay (my daughter!) instead of mountain hiking,

and I won't make it to the Taj Mahal but I can make it to The Mall :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
