Here's my ending to the story. As Beauty kept walking and walking and walking she said, no Forest Gump am I, I need my garden! But alas, she kept walking and walking and what to her wondering eyes should appear but the most beautiful site she had ever seen causing her to yell with glee, I have found my garden and family at last and we are "Beautiful, we are!" On kraft card base put olive cardstock and then cream on top. I found the swans on a color page and they had their lake and foliage but I made the lake bigger and added more foliage and colored all in with water color pencils, doing sky with distress inks.. Stamped butterflies, added 1/2 page of background paper to bottom, adding ribbon and su flower put on with brad and put a brad in each top corner as well. Also put small half pearl on each butterfly.

What a wonderful ending to Beauty's story - you did a great job expanding the lake to make the swan family's home more spacious, and - the butterflies always bring happiness! Sure your card will brighten Martha's day!
