I took the cases in the teapots as my jumping off point, cutting them from scraps of Bazzill. I created a map background by stamping in grey and then sponging with Antique Linen. I edged it with copper paint. Stacked the cases up, punched a little tag and added Stan's initials to it, and then went with a sentiment which I think acknowledges the fact that sadly real travel is probably not going to happen for Stan.

Yes, Stan can still travel through his imagination and through the memories he has of his various hikes and trips. Those are very nice luggage die cuts to grace his card .... great idea to personalize the tag with his initials!

This is so cute..the little suitcases are the best, especially with the initials. It is kind of bittersweet considering his condition but perhaps local outings will still be possible.

Fabulous card Sabrina and as Rita said, he can still travel in his imagination so your sentiment strips are spot on. I love how you used the negative space to create them. Awesome background for those fun suitcases. Love the tag! Great card for anyone who loves to travel, so I bet Stan will adore this.

Great suit cases and fabulous travel themed card. Stan is going to love this. Oh check out those really small pieces. That took some work to put those together. Nicely done!

Love your stacked suitcases, map bg and sentiment. BTW: My sister writes for a travel publication and they are sending her to Ireland in a few weeks. I wish I was joining her.
