Card Maps June 2010

Becky Fleck asked me to contribute to her June set of Card Maps. Of course, I said YES :) This is the map she sent me to work with:
I used some new Jillibean Soup papers, Jenni Bowlin tag, Cosmo Cricket tiny types, some floss and a twig for this:
I also created this card using Paper Trunk papers (have you seen the new Rockabilly line??), some stash items, and a new stamp from Impress:

Have you used any of the new Page Maps or Card Maps from this month? If you do, please leave a link for me to see your creations. :)

ps-- just as a funny side note, I had to do a quick turn-around on the card for Becky. I really wanted to put a twig on the card with the birds. It was pouring rain outside when I collected that little twig. To dry it out, I put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. The things we do . . .
