  2. Congrats to the winners. America this is just darling. I love the image and your sentiment could not be better. The twine and gems are great little additions. I came across some oldie but goodie HM stamps myself. I'll have to put them to some good use soon.

  12. Lady, you have packed a lot of living into your life so far!!!!!!! I knew you were a veteran, but a paratrooper....I'm impressed, but not surprised! Your card is amazing. Love the paper tole, have not done that for years, but the technique is perfect for this card. Colors are so bright and fun, but the little mouse looks a little nervous about the landing....

    Hugs
