I love the peacefulness and texture on her wonderful card. I had full intentions of keeping that same feeling, but somewhere along the way my card took a left turn when it should have taken a right or vice versa...
I think I am having Fruitcake withdraws! I haven't argued with Pamzi (Pam123) over a card since right before Christmas! Seven long months.... So when I saw this image at Bugaboo, I ordered it right away (I won a gift certificate at the Haunted Design House Challenge). I kept the same basic layout as Mary although my card is larger as is my main image panel. I didn't use a button and didn't emboss anything, but I did keep a few other things like outlining the main image in same color of paper and using ribbon/trim.
So Fruitcake, let the wars begin. I am sure there are some Christmas cards already made by some unsuspecting person that we can argue over. Keep on the lookout. (Note for those I think I have lost my mind: Pamzi and I pick a Christmas card every year that we try and convince the maker to send to us - we each try to convince them that we are the most worthy recipient. It is a long story, but if you don't want to have us argue over one of your cards make sure you don't make any really cute ones - LOL).
Oh yeah, back to Mary who is the current Queen for the Day (Pamzi was a Queen for the Day back in the dark ages...). Mary, your gallery is wonderful. I hope you enjoy your week as Queen! Thanks for inspiring us!

This is really cute Nancy! I am sure that there is a story here that I don't fully understand, but it is still a really funny card! Hope all is well with you!

OH NO, HO, HO, HO, is it that time again sis???? I think it's safe to assume you will be sending me this one as I don't believe anyone else would want anything using the word "fruitcake"! Hmmm....whose gallery can I peruse to pick my next holiday card???? Remember we both got Benzi'z card we fought over. Hey, I now have the tree scene digi image and will make a card with it this year if I ever get time that is. Nancy, you are the most creative and funniest person on SCS and your tailored cards are unbelievable - at least according to zee fruitcake that is! The War is On...

The Dark Ages - I think not. I'm just a queen in hiding who shall return when least expected. I should be QFTD Part 2! Think Trish will think that's a good sequel???

Oh Nutzi! This is just perfect for zee Fruitcake!! I am missing her too -and glad that she has been here to declare " war". Say, as Nutzi - is that your nickname? - are you not a part of the zee Fruitcake bunch! I mean there is only one Pamzi / Fruitflakzie - but I'm thinking that you maybe close cousins!

Ahhh so that's how your and the fruitflakes do it huh!!! You'll have everyone in the gallery making two of the same Christmas card. All I can say is you girls must have been a handful for you teachers when you were growing up with your mischievous ways.
I vote that this card is going to Pamzi as well. Love the sentiment. Super cute and fun card Nutzi!!!

Ha...too funny. When I saw the sentiment I was sure 'our fruitcake' was involved. And, she is. Hey, I think it was my card you were arguing over last Christmas. I'll never forget. Anyway, you card is a cutie and so is the write-up.
