I suppose that the sentiment doesn't really go with the railroad track image, unless you are going to walk along the railroad tracks, but it's the closest I had.
Katlyn has a lovely gallery; I especially liked some of her scenes, so this is what I chose: Light to my Path by K. Joy at Splitcoaststampers
My track meanders into the distance like her road and I used some bright colors and a sentiment stamped in white. Otherwise, very different.
This is also for yesterday's IC. What a site! I could spend days and days there. Wish there was a way to search for ATCs of a particular theme. Anyway, this is what I chose:http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/gall...x.php?n=411888
I have always loved maps. This is a map of the area that I'm from and have lived in all my life but have often wondered, especially lately, where I'm supposed to be. I do like to take the train when I can.

Jean, I think between your map, the track, and the sentiment about walking, your card has a wonderful message about journey's - the arrows add the element of "direction" in a creative way. I love the warm, vibrant colours too.

I think this senti goes perfectly...whether walking or by rail, one is going on an unexplored journey! Perfectly created!

Great train track image and it goes perfectly with the sentiment..maybe one doesn't usually take a walk by railroad tracks but it conveys a feeling of exploration. I like the map and all the arrows....perhaps you are meant to take a trip to the U.P. that arrow on the top right seems to be pointing in that direction...lol
I think the railroad tracks are perfect with that sentiment! Whenever we cross the tracks on trips, I love to look down as far as I can and wonder what is just beyond the bend. Great card - I love how you used part of a map in the background! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Really neat card, Jean. I love maps too, and travel. I was immediately caught by the arrows and colors of the card and then with a closer look, saw how you tied all of the elements together with a wandering or travel theme. Really great card, particularly with your introspection as well.

I like that sentiment with the tracks and map, I think it all works together perfectly. The bright colors are stunning and I love all the directional arrows.
