Well our Jet Setter is going to take her clients on a safari I think. That's them in the little Bi-plane looking over where they will go and what they will see up close and personal!
i MADE SOME CHARMS (AFRICA WORD, WORLD MAP) WITH IVORY SHRINK PLASTIC. i HAD THE ZEBRA, LEOPARD AND GIRAFFE BEADS ALREADY AND THE SNAKE SKIN DONUT AT THE TOP. Wish you could see all the little charms better. There is a gold charm that looks like the continent of Africa, another ivory shrink plastic that has a world map on it and the beads are so pretty!

..OOOOO...neat. What a great way to tie things together with the charms, very cool idea. I just watched a movie set in Africa and thought it would be neat to see in real life too...but this scene here is a super start for me...Lovely job...TFS..:0)

Wow Robin!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome. Love everything about this card, except for the snakeskin charm. I ABSOUTELY ABHOR SNAKES!!! But the charm looks great on the card.

Such a cute card of Africia and if I were to go would want to see my favorite animal---the majestic elephant. One time their was like a carnival of sorts here where I live and my kids and friends put their money together and put me up on one of the elephants for a ride and all i could think of was that he might not like me and reach up with his trunk and whip me off his back--but did not. Great card and love your images.

OMGosh! I LOVE Love love your card! Those beads are to die for! Such an expressive card! My oldest daughter and son-in-law were in Africa 2 years ago and they went on a safari and loved it! Their pics were amazing-just like your CARD! Oh and I even LOVE the snake skin bead! I have snake skin pillows on my bed! Not that I like snakes, I'm scared to death of them, just thought DH wouldn't mind all the pillows on the bed if they were manly, kwim? Would be ever so TICKLED to get this one!

I could do a safari. Some friends of ours tried to get us to go with them this year but the flights you have to take to get there from Vancouver put us off. It's a trip to do before we get much older I think. This is the way I imagine the sky. Beautiful scene!

Oh my goodness Robin my jaw just hit the floor. Your colouring is out of this world. Your African theme is incredible, what Teapotter wouldn't want this amazing creation.

Oh wow! This African scene is absolutely stunning! I love all the animals, the serengeti tree and that beautiful sunrise. Those beautifully crafted charms are absolutely awesome. Sure hope my name gets picked as your recipient!
