Map to Your Heart Challenge in the Moxie Fab World!




Cath challenged us to use a map in a new and innovative way and link it to latest  Moxie Fab Challenge.  I decided to make a Change of Address card for a move to Sarasota, FL, in the future.  (Never too early to start working on a design!)  I made the arrow myself freehand because I wanted it to look as if you were traveling down the road until you reached your final destination!  I added the sunglasses brad (from my stash) because it's always sunny in Florida!  I also found the vellum quote leftover from a scrapbook kit from Quick Quotes that seemed perfect for this card.  I used my Dymo gun to spell Florida just in case the recipient couldn't figure it out!  The map was printed on card stock that I found on MapQuest.  I Hope You Like It!  It was really FUN to try something new!

Super address change card. Love the fantastic arrow! The sentiment is perfect and the sunglasses are such a fun touch. I hope I receive one of these original cards. Then I can make a new home card for you!

Hun if you settled in into your new home I'll come over for a visit! I could use some sun; The Netherlands are wet, clouded and chilly at this very moment.
Your card is spot in the challenge and you deserve to win!
