CONGRATULATIONS TO GRACE!!! The wheel sealed Grace's faith today! She is our Queen for the Day and what a Queen she is. Her cards and her devotion to her family and friends are all things I admire in her. I just love that she is part of this community. I chose this simple card because of the bird and her terrific sponging:
My birds are on a crooked wire, but I kind of like them anyway. I chose gingham pink and added a little punch embellishment to honour Grace's signature flowers. I know they don't look at all like Grace's but I was inspired to try!
Have fun Grace, you know I remember your kindness always. Hugs and snugs!
thank you all for looking and if you want to join in just peek at Grace's (scrappigramma2)gallery and add the QFTD11 keywords and you're ready to go...oh you have to case a card of hers. LOL

This is fabulous, love the birds on a wire and the angle is perfect, no wires are straight, so I would have thought it was a stratigic move. Fabulous case.

Peggy, this is the sweetest case to honor Grace and she will be delighted, I'm sure. I think your crooked wire is very realistic and the birds look perfect. Oh, I'm such a bird lover...all cards should have one on them. LOL
Love your adorable card. ~Hugs~

Oh this is so sweet with that gingham paper and distressed edges. Peggy, it's a wonderful card to acknowledge Grace's amazing gallery even if the birds are on a crooked tree limb. Hey, have I seen this photo before now? Just kidding.

Oh giggles.... I am just in love with your pretty in pink gingham card. The birds on the wire look JUST like what I see out my window.... what you can't see in the photo of the card you cased is a wire that runs across the cove to the other side that is going up hill from our side quite a bit! Birds love to perch there all the time... and it's MUCH more crooked than this!!! I love your case and can't thank you enough for taking the time to case my card! You know I love you!!! Time has kept me out of things more lately, as has my neck and limited ability to stay on the computer... but I never forget my firends I love so much... and you are high on that list my twisted sister!!! Hugs!

I love gingham and it looks great on this cute card. Grace had lots of birds in her gallery and I know she will love these.
