Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, dear Saannnndddiiiee…
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuu!!
Surprise!!! Two wonderful people, Nonni and Lynn, have organized a birthday linky party for Sandie, of London Days, and I'm so excited to be joining in!
You, Sandie are ever so deserving of this celebration! Even though I've *known* you for a fairly short time, I know that you are amazing in every way. Your talent and creativity in transforming 'simple and clean' images to works of art is outstanding. All of us participating in this wonderful, well-deserved Nonni-and-Lynn-orchestrated celebration of 'you' have shared our love for your cards over...and over...and over. And oh, my, but you have the the warmest of hearts! Your comments on my cards, and those I've seen on other's sites, are sources of motivation, inspiration, and encouragement. You are truly a gem! Indeed, because of you, I am a full-on STAMPlorations fan and an Inkspirational design team member.
As much as I wanted to, my capacity to case one of your amazing cards would be, well...impossible. Instead, I decided to make you a card flavoured with my 'current' obsession...yes, a shaker card (again!!)...
I'm sharing Sandie's card in the following challenges:
Here it is....first a view in an attempt to show the sparkle of the butterfly (and apparently, with the unintended reflection from the window...)
Below is the 'basic' version...
Thank you, Sandie, for being a friend; thank for your sharing your gifts, talents and inspiration with us, and especially, thank you for letting me know that somewhere in my posts and cards, a little 'sparkle' can be found.
Hope your special day is nothing short of fabulous!

Thank you Carol, you are very special x
