travel

When Cas-ual Fridays proposed travel as a challenge, I immediately thought of retirement. We have really been enjoying the traveling since we retired. So many of our friends are at that age that I decided to make a retirement card to have on hand.
I recently replaced our road atlas and being the recycler that I am thought I could use the maps on cards. So this one uses a portion of Indiana (with my hometown). The black strip is glitter tape I found at Michael's. It was a sale item for Halloween but sure makes a cute road. The car is stamped in black on yellow with sequin headlight and tire rims. Kind of looks like a cute little VW bug. The sentiment and 2 label punches are SU.
