this is a fun challenge.

We've been reading a road map lately :-) It's been interesting!

....so is this challenge! Love it!

Great challenge! I can read a map. I read it all the way to our honeymoon. Now we have a GPS :-)

I love doing "blind scraps"! Hope to do this one tonight!

What a CLEVER challenge Helen! I may have to "lift" this someday!!!

My DD and I moved to Ketchikan Alaska in 1990. We drove from Fairfax, Virginia all the way to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and then took the ferry over to Ketchikan. This was before cellphones, before internet, before GPS and so we HAD to read the map!!! She was 9 at the time and was my navigator. I'm not great at it but that trip really helped me a LOT! So I think I might be able to figure this one out. DH laughs at me when he tells me "Northeast corner" and I have to literally stop and think "North, south, east west.... OK I know where it is now!" LOLOL! I get the lack of a sense of direction from my Dad.

oooh crap, i so suck at directions this is gonna KILL ME

How fun Helen

Can't wait to see what you gals come up with!!! LOL!!

And lift away Ginni!

What a fun challenge Helen.

I think I read maps fairly well. I don't do well when someone gives me directions using landmarks. Give me a map any old day!

Thanks Gail!

Sent you my take on it!

I'm the opposite Gail! I don't do well with North/south stuff. I do better with landmarks. LOL

Sent you mine this morning.

and for us that don't have any lace.....

Kerri, you could probably use your punch like you did for the challenge last month (but I'm not the boss, just saying.. )

Rip your panties apart!!! LOL!!!!!!! Sorry Kerri , I couldn't resist!!!! LOL!!!

You could use a lace looking punch if you have one.

And I got Jessica and colleen's cards... Awesome ladies!!

Rip your panties... That's hysterical!

I was going to say tear the lace off your bra.

That would work too Colleen! LOL!! Or your husbands!!! LOL!!!!

I just got it Gail.. and it is stunning!!!!!!!!

hmmmm
will have to relook thru the directions & try this on a kidfree day. but lace looking punch can't believe I got about that one . none of my bras or panties for that matter are lacy lol....much to the Scrap Widow's dismay lol

LOL Kerri! Same here!!
