This card is for Peggy - only about 6 months late and even too late for her birthday - THIS year!! heheh
Sorry I am so late, but I had to honor you in some way for all the delightful comments you always leave, and also the humor that is always evident to keep us all smiling!!
It took me a long time to go through your gallery, but when I saw this card, I KNEW it was the one I wanted to case: "Paris - my first dream" I tried to make it LOOK like Paris when I took the picture - little bistro on a side street - step into the picture Peggy!! PARIS...MY FIRST DREAM [pic] by marilynprestonn at Splitcoaststampers
I tried to stay true to your layout AND your dream, even though I do not have any images like this, this one fills the bill for your "dream". It is nothing like I have ever tried before, but here is my attempt to case a REAL artist - the Queen Nut Extraordinaire, Giggles, or Anne Ryan's PIC - hope you like it!!

OMGosh, this is so fabulous, sue. You will make Peggy's heart sing! Yes, this girl is my PIC translated into 'partner in crime.' Her goal is to visit Paris on her 50th birthday, which is only right around the corner...in fact, it's now less than a year away! I love how you photographed this. I love the parisian feel of a streetside cafe with the grapes and checked napkins! This is so incredible. What a job you did with this one. I cant wait for her to see it.

Look at you Sue! Awww, you made my heart sing with joy indeed as Anne stated. First attempt, I just love it. You are good at staging too. The grapes look yummy! Fly me to Paris right now! Thank you so much for making this after my reign as Queen for the day has passed, still my reign as Nut never will. Hugs and mucho kisses, you know I love you.

Oh my goodness gracious Sue, this is SO, SO SPECTACULAR. I love that image and I love Paris. Went there in 2008 and loved every mintue of it. I have that set and didn't do as lovely a job as yours. I want to do another one, but am not too good at vintage. Your dp, flower and gorgeous ribbon/charm treatment is beyond BEE-UTIFUL!! Merci for sharing this with all of us!! Hugs - pam
