The summer before last, we took Nicole on an adventure to the beautiful Southwest. We gave her a digital camera and she had loads of fun taking gobs of pictures. What a great trip that was!!!!
Nicole called tonight to thank us for her birthday present and she loves her card. By the way, the turtle on the front of the card is a bead purchased at a bead shop in New Mexico.
I hope you all have a good week. Thanks for stopping in and leaving a little love!

Phenominal card for Nicole!! I love the different papers and how they are arranged. Your coloring is so gorgeous and you picked the perfect Saturated Canary girls for her. I love the layout as well as the flowers and leaves to tie in the card.
Then the inside is just as perfect as the outside! I love the corners and leaves, flower and butterfly. You sure love your grandkids as it shows in your cards for them. This one is my favorite style though. Just love it, so go make me one!! LOL
Hugs, Kelly

I love this card and I can certainly see why a young girl whose fave movie was The Hunger Games would love it. It's a fab image... both of them are but the cover one is so perfect for the theme. Wonderful colouring Sandy and those fall colours and embellies are the best!
You have every ounce of Autumn on here that's feasibly possible and it's SUPER! SC images work so well with anything, but what really stands out to me are the earthy elements with a rustic vintage feel. I'm not even sure that's a category, but I like the way it sounds. Especially diggin' the inside corner punches! Lucky grand daugher :D

Wishing her a wonderful birthday!

I love this and everything about it is beautiful. I know Nicole loved it, how could she not. I love it. Been missing you but been so lazy. I didn't comment on any blogs yesterday at all just layed around and read. Had company twice yesterday for a little while each time and then right back to my book.

Hi Sandy,
You have put so much work into this card and so much thought... Nicole is going to love it, and I do too!!!Hugs Trish xx
I adore these booklet cards you are making they are FAB !!! great colouring too your shading is perfect Sandy well done .
I do hope you are well , thank you ever so much for all your sweet comments and support whilst I have been away , I thought of you and your fall , gosh I know I got off very lightly .
Am getting back slowly however Lots of cards being posted as I have 4 DTs and they were all done and given to Dt's in advance ( thank goodness ) or I would not have had the time or energy to make them.
Am going to Doc's again today , still not 100% struggling to walk properly ,am just shuffling about , sickness gone again thankfully, but headaches the same . Guess if I had been 30 I would be hopping around now after 6 weeks. Oh to be 30 again !. ( then again maybe not !!)
Take care Sweetie , you always make me smile with your fab sense of humour . Keep smiling Biggest hugs Elaine
