About 15 years ago, Nancy sent me this birthday card (Page 2). I loved it so much that I've had it hanging on my bedroom wall ever since. We've always dreamed about living in the same town, but that will probably never be. For her birthday this year, I decided to send the same message back, with an updated look. "Nancy ... no matter where life leads us, I will always celebrate your birthday as if you were right where I am."

I really wish these pages would post in the enlarged view without your having to click on that option. It's frustrating to spend so much time on a page and have it lose so much in posting. Anyway, I scanned the card (page 2) and blended it onto paper from the Enchanted Pickleberry Tree kit. Edge overlays by Rhonna Farrar. I did lots of editing in PSE6 and then added texture in Fotosketcher. Please enlarge to see the way it SHOULD look.

really beautiful - it's wonderful how you all can express your feelings for one another - I find it very hard but perhaps it's partly because I'm British. I can never find the right words to express my feelings when I look at everyone's beautiful pages but when I say 'beautiful' I mean it. Lesley x
