Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Welcome to the Queen for the Day Challenge for the week. QFTD Challenges were started by our fellow stamper, Anne Ryan. I am subbing as hostess for this challenge while Anne is on a break.
What is Queen for the Day Challenge? It is a way to honor remarkable stampers here on SCS. Every week, someone is chosen to reign as queen. Her gallery is posted and to honor her reign, you go look at her gallery and take inspiration to make a card. Just post your card in the QFTD Gallery and the festivities begin. Please join us every week in celebrating the QFTD's contribution to our stamping community. It is what makes the SCS community a special place.
So let's start the celebration for this week........drumroll please.......
Our QFTD40 is Reddyisco. Yep the crown is moving!! Jo has a fantastic gallery that will delight you! She joins in on many of the challenges and adds to our inspiration with her gorgeous gallery. Her comments are always a welcomed sight when viewing your own gallery. Let's hear some applause for our newly crowned queen!!
So Jo, have a wonderful day/week enjoying all the beautiful cards that your fellow stampers have crafted in your honor. Remember, Jo, it's your day starting NOW, so that means it is all about you. Sit back, relax, put some warm cozy slippers on and enjoy your reign. We have added some fresh baked holiday cookies and hot cocoa with heaping mounds of whipped cream for some treats to be delivered with your crown, so enjoy the upcoming week on SCS. We are excited for you!!
So let the celebrations begin!!!Hooray for QFTD40 our very own Reddyisco!!
And as an extra jingle, this week there will be a winner chosen to receive a gift from Whimsy stamps, so we look forward to seeing your card in the gallery. (Each card in the QFTD40 Gallery will have a chance to win by a random pull the name out of Santa's hat drawing on Dec.23 at noon ,CST).
Don't forget to keep using your Whimsy stamps. There will be a grand Prize winner on December 25th!! Thanks to Whimsy stamps, our sponsor for such fabulous prizes.
Get OUT!!!!!!. I am so excited. ..thanks so, so much Bev.....I am so grateful to you for picking me!!
I just heralded the news to my DH, and my two puppies, Freddy and Cisco. They are all very excited, but not as excited as I am. Actually, I'm pretty sure the puppies don't understand what's going on. Cisco did, however, give a couple of celebratory yips.
I just can't say how much I love SCS and all the friends I've made here. It took me awhile to really become involved for a few reasons. First, my old computer was so old, and I was not using a very good browser so it would take me untold ages to leave a comment on a card. My new computer (not so new any more) and my new browser are like 'magic' so I've been trying to make up for lost time. It also took me a long time to start doing the challenges because I was absolutely terrified of them???!! I can't remember what I was so afraid of and now I love doing them.
Thanks again, Bev.....you have so made my week!!!!
Hugs,
Jo
PS: I patiently await my crown, my fresh baked holiday cookies and hot cocoa with heaping mounds of whipped cream.
PPS: Just kidding.

Well, it's about time you were acknowledged for your superior talents. The crown, holiday cookies and cocoa with whipped cream is on its way.
I'm so happy for you Jo. Your work is phenomenal and I'm glad your new computer has allowed you to become more involved. I'll join in as soon as I can!
Hugs

A huge congrats is in order for sure, Jo! Wow, I'm super excited for you. Bev did a fabulous job of selecting one of our very talented stampers. Jo, I wont be able to case one of your cards until after the holiday ... I'm on a little sabbatical shall I say. Wanted to stop by and said congrats. Your work and your comments are always a treat! Enjoy your week. Sounds like Bevie must have a huge budget ... I never sent cocoa w/heaps of whipped cream and freshly baked cookies to go along with the crown. You're special, so I guess Bev knows what she's doing. Enjoy.

And don't forget that there will be a winner this week from Whimsy Stamps. Besides all the Fabulous rubber images and digital images that you could chose from...Did you know that Whimsy stamps have personalized name rubber stamps? Yep, I just ordered one to stamp on the back of my cards. I can't wait to get it. So every card in QFTD40 Gallery gets a chance to be a winner this week. Stamping can be fun and yet.....so rewarding!!
Congratulations to Reddyisco/Jo for being chosen to wear the QFTD40 crown this week! Your gallery is something to enjoy, and I spent a long time browsing, but always came back to this fabulous card to case. Here's my version.

Congratulations, Jo! I really enjoyed browsing your gallery. I had to wait until after Christmas to finish this challenge. It was started before, but, I just got too busy.
Bev, thanks for making the master list of all the QFTD challenges.
