I think that being chosen Queen just before Christmas must be like having a Christmas birthday...so much else is happening that you sort of get lost in the shuffle. I'm sorry that I didn't post during your official "reign" Barbara, but you have been in the back of my mind. Love Barbara's gallery and used for inspiration an amalgam of these two cards: SC353, pumpkin wagon by barbaradwyer82 at Splitcoaststampers SC362, Christmas snowflake by barbaradwyer82 at Splitcoaststampers
I also took advantage of today's Ways to Use It challenge and found this sticker in my stash.
My husband's Valentine is my favorite card to make all year. He can be a pain in the neck (or as he says "A little lower, Dear.") but he is a wonderful man. I used (but flipped) the layout from the first card and the glittery elements and basic colors from the second. Added the black and tan elements because he is a home brewer. Changed the unknown to Me on the sticker just because it felt right. this also is submitted for BG's challenge "Favorite Things" which of course is DH! PT - 12
Barbara, remember once a Queen, always a Queen - just ask pam124! Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

A great card for a great fella! Love the way you drew out the colors of the plaid and the way you cut it on the diagonal. Thanks for the warning about cleaning my desk....somewhere in there is and embossing folder that I wouldn't want to toss by mistake!

Oh my goodness, this a beautiful Valentine for your hubby...even if he does give you the business sometimes. Ha
I love that super, plaid background, the sentiment is awesome (even with the 'Me' author), and all your brown/ish leaves and branches. Awesome, MM!! Hmmmm.....you know, Pamzi does still think she's Queen.
Guess what? It is snowing at my house as I write this. Well, I don't think there will be much so you can go ahead and send me some when yours arrives.
