Congrats Benz for being selected FS this week. You are SO deserving my friend. Brenda is such a supportive and encouraging SCS friend, not to mention she has a WONDERFUL sense of humor.
I decided to case a card that is very special to me as it is the first card Brenda sent to me and it was the start of a wonderful mutual friendship. We bonded on worrying over the little birdies teeny tiny legs falling off. To this day, those little legs are still intact!!!
I know you like birds Benz, but I had to opt for a butterfly or else I couldn't have gotten the card done today and I wanted to upload the first day of you being selected FS!
I loved the layout of Brenda's card, so I just changed up the color combo by using black, white and rich razzleberry. Instead of the b/g stamp, I used the script EF and added a window sheet over it with the white flowers. Instead of birds, I used butterflies. I added a few more pearls~shock, I know~ and a pearl ribbon slider rather than a buckle slider. The pearl ribbon slider was given to me in a RAK from Lovely Linda and credit to ReginaBD for giving me the nerve to finally use a window sheet which I've been hoarding and afraid to use as I've seen her use them on many of her beautiful cards. Thanks Linda and Regina!
Well, this one is for you Benzalina - ENJOY your special day my friend as you TRULY DESERVE IT!!! I'll try to play again this week if I have a chance!!

Love your card Pam.Your story of friendship with Brenda is beautiful and as we know very familiar to some of us here. As we surf and glide through this wonderful place, we meet alot of people who otherwise would have not met. I can see how you talk about her card that you cherish that friendship. Thanks for letting us in your heart.
This card is of course stunning, the heart again right...the wonders of what love can do and a bright eyed stamper. Hugs and thank you for sharing Pam.

Pammyz, this is just beautiful and you must know I love the Rich Razzleberry sooooooo much. I am glad you used a butterfly because this is the most beautiful thing. You really know how to make a card stand out. I'm taking lessons from you....watching you closely, Pamz. Don't mess up and lead me astray in my cardmaking. I just knew you were going to say that awesome pearl slider was from Lovely Linda. I remember her sending that to you. And, I'm glad ReginaBD gave you some nerve to use that window sheet.
Your image is so beautiful and how did I know there would be more pearls on your card than mine? You just had to outdo me, huh? Seriously, they added so much to your card and you know I love them. I know you were so busy today as everyone is, but I am so glad you got to CASE one of my cards today to honor me as FS. I hope you get to do some more but you know I'll understand if you don't. I love this one bunches! Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and hope your New Year is awesome!

Oh, I had to come back and say something about the bird leg story. I am so glad I sent you that card and was so worried about that leg falling off because it was the start of a wonderful friendship and a fun one, at that. Take care, my friend.
