this wonderful quote by Mark Twain.
It also fits with my philosophy of standing up against biased, bitter bullies who preach their horrible, hateful beliefs. So this quote really resonated with me.
My file folders are often larger than my scanner, which means I usually cut off the tab. However, this week, I positioned the file folder so I could capture the "CB 6," which of course, stands for the sixth challenge.
I was hoping to show some of the shimmer from my handmade shimmer mists, but the scanner simply couldn't pick up the glimmer of the mica powders.The details: file folder substrate, covered with various handmade shimmer mists, portions of a road map, colored paper with computer generated words.
Once again, I was able to visit everyone last month, although I cannot leave comments on those who choose to use Facebook, since I'm not a member. However, I did look and admire those two entries.

Great travel folder, Elizabeth, and a powerful quote.
I love the use of maps in collage work. Whether you make them up yourself or use preexisting ones, they add a nice element to the piece.
It is a-shame when the photo doesn't quite match what your eye sees.
Have a great Sunday!

Love the quote and the use of the maps. Scanners just can't do all of things we'd like them to do :) Even just gloss finishes do not scan well. ...but the folder looks great even if we can't see the glimmer !
Oh this is great!!! I love the map for the background for this quote....perfect!
I have both GDs tonight, get one to school in the morning and the other for the rest of the day.
Hummmm, wonder if I can remember how to get kids ready for school...LOL It HAS been a long time.
Hope to get to do T-day tomorrow and then work on the CB challenge.
Great Travel folder and that Quote is wonderful...very thought provoking...as Quotes should be...xxx
great quote . . . i may borrow it for one of my "scrabble" art pieces . . . love the idea of a 'travel' folder as well.
I love your quote. I think it is a belief very close to my heart. As I say - I'm a very tolerant person, but the only thing I can't tolerate is intolerance.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving such lovely comments.

Sorry it has taken me so long to stop by. This is a wonderful entry for travel. The map is perfect for the theme, and I like the concise layout on top of your inky background.
You've created a wonderful file folder. Love your take on the word.
Great file folder - love how you used the map! You mentioned problems with ink - why dont you gesso your bg first? Love that medium..:-)
Oh I just can't get my head round your quote. First I had difficulty reading the font and then I think it is just beyond my mushed hormonal brain at the moment. Lovely use of map pages and the bright yellow too. BJ
