This card takes a little explanation: I literally went to the trash, and took out some big pieces of brown wrapping paper. Yesterday I picked up two photos I had framed, and they wrapped them with the paper. The photos were taken by my grandson Nathan, who just graduated from college with a degree in Photography/Business. That's why I used the cameras embossing folder as a bg on the foil. To keep them all together (the layers), I punched holes and added eyelets (how long has it been???)
I love these funny Dylusion sayings. They are cut and popped. This card will go to Nate......I send him funny cards every week.
I took these photos of his photos now hanging in my dining room....they are taken at night with long exposures, and are absolutely stunning!! I put them on my blog HERE. Please check them out!

Anne, what a talented grandson you have - those photographs are gorgeous! How fortunate to have beautiful art to display in your home which also has personal meaning for you!
This card is just SO fun. Wonderful use of the corrugated paper and foil. Perfect embossing folder for this occasion!
I haven't heard of Dylusions - I thought it was a type of spray? Anyway, that sentiment is fantastic!
