Congratulations Nancyruth!!! I was so happy to see you were the FS today!! I made this card in purple in your honor, but I don't know if you will remember why.
When I first joined SCS, one of the first comments I made was to NR regarding a beautiful purple card she had made. It was so awesome! I took the opportunity to tell her how much I loved her image, color and technique. She pm'd me, and I received it in the mail!! That's how I knew SCS was a wonderful place. Because of that card I have enjoyed "meeting" so many fabulous stampers, but Nancyruth was my mentor, so to speak.
I kept the layout, punch, and a similar bg dp. I changed the button to a butterfly, the tie to a bow, made purple the main color, left off the sentiment, and added pearls.
Congratulations again my friend....enjoy your day!!

Absolutely gorgeous! I usually try to pick one thing out I enjoy most but....this card has too many great things to single out just one. I also love your story as I have had similar experiences myself. You are right...SCS is a fabulous place because of the people.

Wow! Anne, this is beautiful! Really like the colors, the fabulous bow and the use of the border punch just on one side of the beautiful image! Beautifully done!
Thanks for sharing the story!
