I am so excited about this card. I needed a very special graduation card for a very special young woman who graduates from High School in suburban Chicago on Friday and is heading to Fordham University in New York city in the Fall. She has had a rough few years that include the loss of her beloved dad. I will have the honor of attending her graduation with her mom on Friday.
I just got this fabulous New York stamp set from Artemio with the help of my dear friend Jenny. It's a Belgian company for which I could not find a US resource. It arrived just in time - I leave tomorrow for Chicago. When I saw the I Spy Sketch Challenge for this week, my design immediately fell in to place. Inside are two metro cards that Ellen can use to ride the subways in NYC. I just love the way this all fell together, and I wish Ellen the most wonderful adventure in New York and every success in her endeavors. She is one special person!!
Thank you so much for stopping in.

I just adore this card--I love everything about it. I am a total NYC junkie, and every stamp on your card is one I need! Congratulations to your young friend--to be starting out in the best city in the world is a wonderful thing, and I wish her every possible success. Now, I want to go back to New York, and this time make it into the city!
