This card is for Sabrina's Virtual Stamp Night challenge to use maps.
I have no map stamps. I decided to print something off, and since the theme is I Treasure You, I wanted to pick a special place. I absolutely love the city of Rome! My hubby and I went there in 2013 for our 20th anniversary. The red brads mark some places we actually went to...including St Peter's in Vatican City, where I got a HUG from Pope Francis!
I do miss Rome. Maybe I'll send this to Papa Francesco! LOL

A different sentiment and it would be a great anniversary card to bring back memories of that special trip! How cool that the red brads highlight places you actually visited. What a great map card.

Holy Smokes, Kim, do you realize there's only so many people in the world that have received hugs from Pope Francis? What a wonderful card and great skill to capture all places you visited.

You are one lucky lady! AS a child I sent Pope Pius XII a birthday card every year as his birthday was the same as mine! I always received a note back and thought that was special - but a HUG!!! I liked your card and your story! tfs
