Birthday card for a friend

Good morning everyone, I hope the snow has cleared in your area and that you are all warm and well. I still have snow in my garden because I live on the shady side of the street!
On to my card, which is for my very good friend PatEssex on DC. I know she has received it so it's safe to show it LOL.

Of course, it's my own photograph which I took in Bonsall village, Derbyshire, 
about 4 years ago.
I cut and folded brown Bazzil to 5x7, my favourite card size.
Photograph is matted onto ivory pearl card.
Flutterbies are SU Emboslits in the same ivory pearl card, as is the Memory Box corner.
Very simple card :o)

Such a lovely card with your garden photo and the added embelishes Jackie, I love butterflies and I do love those Memorybox corner dies, has finished your card of beautifully. Know what you mean on the hands on playing with papers and scrapbooking but what kind of mess would I end up in! Would need another room so I could shut the door on it and Hubby might just lock me in and through the key away lol! Carolxx

Your photos make fabulous cards, Jackie, they are always more personal too. Do you print onto photo paper or special stuff? Just wondering what the finish is on the images. Nice how you added the diecuts too. We have lost all our snow now thankfully, I like it on the gardens but I don't like it on the roads. CoB

OMG OMG.....just beautiful....my hubby is going to brush up his photography. I've been showing him your cards and want to get back doing some cards like you....now that I'm better at embellishing. I have that die, but not the butterfly. It's all beautiful Jackie. Your site keeps getting off my favorite blog list. I put it back on this morning again. I've missed so much on your site.
