This card is for my wonderful Grandmother, aka: Gramcracker, hehe! I am the 1st grandchild and responsible for this nickname which has stuck with all the grandchildren and now 2 great-grandchildren thru the span of 30 years. That lovely rose is from Gina K. Designs *Spring Blooms* set, which was
free when I bought 3 sets! I stamped it in regal rose and old olive, then colored it in and glazed with diamond stickles. This card measures 4x8" and will fit in a standard business letter envelope. It was originally for the LSC to make a tall card, but Sherry got me with *no designer paper*, so it's a no-go for the challenge, but still will go to my Gramcracker! Thanks for looking

It's beautiful Linsay - and I must say the name gramcracker caught my eye right away! I too am the eldest grandchild on both sides of the family, and we lived with both sets of of my grandparents, I was very close to them also!! I called my Grandma Skaptason * grandma House * because I was always asking - can we go to Grandma's house!! And, now grandma house is 95, and has - gasp!!! 3 children, 12 granchildren and 19 great grandchildren!! and she still lives on her own!! My other dear grandma passed at the age of 96 several years - but she had a long and good life!!
Grandparents- I really understand how special they are- and what a wonderful grand daughter you are!!
It's a lovely card and I bet * gramcracker * treasures that special name that you found for her!! So cute!! !!

What a wonderful story, dah-ling! Gramcracker, how wonderfully endearing is that! How wonderful to know everyone else calls your grandmother by that same name! What a legacy you leave, Linsey. You're just way too cool, girl and such an asset to our gallery with your wonderful artistic creations and you wonderful sense of humor and wit. You're just one very special person, dah-ling. You bring such a sense of joy into my life, and I'm quite confident into the lives of many others. Now, go walk the dog, please. It's getting late.

My two granddaughters call me Gram. One of their favorite treats I make for them is graham crackers with vanilla icing between them which we call Gram Grahams! I therefore, occasionally get called Gramcracker as well!!
Your card is beautiful!!! I know she will be thrilled to receive it!!
