The minute I saw this gorgeous image, New Friends, illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Susana’s Custom Art & Card Design, I immediately thought it looked just like my five-year old granddaughter, Anna!
Here are a couple of quick photos of Anna to show you. This is one of my favorites from her recent dress-up tea/birthday party . . .
and another at the beach, showing a side view just like the Elisabeth Bell image ~ Seriously! I can’t believe how much they look alike . . . maybe it’s the cute little noses! 🙂
Here’s the full card, featuring my Anna!
Hopefully, by the time this card is posted here, it will be on it’s way to her in sunny Florida, letting Anna know how much grandma misses her!!!
I really had fun with this one – the dp, which I love, is from October Afternoon. I used Martha Stewart punches for the grass and the “birds on a wire”. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.
Thanks for stopping by today and putting up with my gushing about another of my beautiful grandkids!!

A gorgeous card, Mary! You are right….a very strong resemblance to your granddaughter. You would think she posed for it!! That’s how I feel about the Puddles of Love image from Kraftin’ Kimmie and my granddaughter!!! Love it!! Isn’t it cool that so many of these cute new images actually resemble real people in our lives???
Gorgeous card, love the MS punches you used, and the coloring of those birds. And your granddaughter is just the sweetest little thing, she will love this card.
Oh my, Mary, this is a beautiful card!! She does look like your granddaughter, who is also beautiful. What a sweetie. I love all the elements of your card. Adding the birds across the top really ties it all together. That image is so, so sweet and I love the colors you used. Beautiful, girl! Hugs,
