I almost didn't make it with this one - just returned from a week with the twins, and I must admit, a huge piece of my heart is stuck in Minnesota. What a wonderful week!! Actually, 9 glorious days....so I almost didn't play along this week but then Julia picked this color combo that absolutely sang to my HEART, no frozen lips THIS time Julia, and I HAD to play along! So my card is HOT OFF THE PRESS.....LOVE LOVE LOVE these colors!! AND this new stamp set called Secret Garden from SU! Happy Tuesday everyone!

I was wondering if you had come back yet-I understand totally about leaving your heart with the twins-been there myself-this card is beautiful Karen and I love the new image-beautifully colored as well

Oh, Karen, you have created a beauty with this new set. I just might have to buy this after seeing a 'Karen Creation'. It is beautiful, and such a great design too.
Welcome back to the real world ~ so happy for you and the new members of the clan.

Karen, this is gorgeous. I would thing that there was something wrong with you if you didn't leave part of your heart with those adorable little sweethearts! I'm glad you got some Grandma time!
