This Tea Party was so fun! This week we are sending cards or postcards to an elementary school class in France, so they can learn about the world. I knew for sure that I wanted to use one of my old maps of the area, and I could have used a map with my town on it. I think my town is wonderful and we have 350 years of history, but I decided to represent Plymouth on my card with these cute Pilgrim hamsters. I mean, how could I resist? It's close enough to where I live, but Freetown did get cut off the southwest edge of this card. I love that the map, which is a forty year-old map of Plymouth county, has the Mayflower on it.
I used today's sketch challenge with my little hamsters as the corner element and added "Bonjour from Massachusetts" using my Raleigh font for the kids.

What an awesome and completely inspiring card, Jennifer! The students across the pond will enjoy it as well as learn something from it! (Me too! I didn't realize we had hamster pilgrims! LOL)
