How can a simple card map challenge stump me so badly?

Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's the 30 hour training I just finished. Maybe...it's too simple? 

 

Who knows. But this map sat there looking at me for hours. Waiting for inspiration to hit me. Which it finally did but only after I rooted around in my stamping supplies for a very long time.

And then I saw my Hues of Happiness product suite - well, bits and pieces of what was left. 

So I decided to go with that, especially since I love that funky die in the Blossoming Happiness dies and wanted to try it on a layer. 

Here's my card.

If you want to see where I got my inspiration from, open the front cover of the Annual Catalog - do you see where my idea came from?
