Well sis, you made it to the big time. You are Queen for the Day! How exciting is that? I am so proud of you . You have become such an amazing card maker that it is going to be a challenge to case one of your cards. But needless to say, I did. I chose this one .
We were also to Share a story about something we love. Well, I know you love to camp and so do I. I remember camping with Uncle Joe in the back of the camper down along the Colorado river. What fun. I can hear him now running down the banks of the river after a 25 cent bobber that you lost while trying to pull in the big one saying “Connie, Connie, Connie!”
Fast forward several years and this is what you might see coming out the back of that camper in Hot Sulphur SpringsÂ…..YOUÂ…..with your signature brush rollers. How fun is that? Wished we lived closer, we could make this scene a reality! Â…..Let me ask you thisÂ….Do they still sell brush rollers or are those things in your hair antiques? Hehe Just a thought. I see you still have your purse.
Connie, you are so deserving of this honor. You not only make gorgeous cards, but you actually send them to people! Plus you leave the best-est comments, always over three words and all spelled correctly! Hehe So dear Sis, Congrats! Enjoy your time as Queen. Â…..my card brieflyÂ….
Printed out a Prairie Fairy Digi and tweaked it. Actually I printed her out twice then drew the camper scene around one of the images. Stamped the doggies, clear ep & colored with copics then cut out. Drew the curlers, and purseÂ…colored, cut out. Colored the camper and my sis with copics. Cut it all out.
On a blank white card I stamped the mountains, sun, clouds and trees. Left it black and white because thatÂ’s what the card I cased was like. Well, this was so much fun to make. Hope you all like it! Â…Â…TFL :0)
Hi Sis! This oneÂ’s for you!

I just knew you'd come up with something spectacular to honor your Sis, and once again, you didn't disappoint! Your camper is simply amazing - every little detail is perfect. The portrait of Connie is incredible - from the curlers to the fuzzy slippers and ending with her ever-present purse! Love the mountain scene and the picnic table you included for the dogs. Awesome!

OMG, Mutnik, you really did a number on this one!! Those antique rollers, slippers, camper and the "purse" say it all!! What great memories you two share, although I don't think Connie Jo will be too happy of you capturing her "look" of today. What do you think??? Your creativity astounds me every time!! TFS and I'll be to your gallery as soon as I can!! Haven't forgotten you!!

Cathy you are a hoot ... which is what I always say... now I KNOW it for 100% sure you are a crazy hoot... and I love it... I can just image being in the same room with the two of you... yikes.. . I would have a sore tummy from laughing withing a few minutes... you both crack me up... This card is so funny.. I knew it would be hoot... but this is so so so funny and at the same time a tribute to your dear sister... whom I know you love dearly... I am very envious of such a relationship... and think it is a very special thing that the two of you share... and it is WONDERFUL... I love it... and am so very happy for the two QUEENS....
You are both very talented and great people... your parents did a super good job raising and share you both with the world... and I am very thankful that I have gotten to know you both..
Love this card... very gifted in all ways... and so funny...

What a sensational card for your talented sister, the Queen!! This RV diva and her precious pups are just the cutest thing yet!!! I'm so glad you broke-in the crown first so that it will ride gently on Connie Jo's head!!

I share stamping with my sister (across the miles) too. This is such a great tribute. Lots of love went into this, and fun, and great memories. Thanks for the peek into your sister window. Love this scenic card even without the story. Great card and thanks for sharing it. Blessings! Lela

You two sisters have the best fun. What a great card to honor your sis. I remember those horrible curlers. What on earth did people mean putting those things in their hair...and trying to sleep in them? LOL The puppies are so sweet. I suppose that purse is used for Connie Jo to haul those curlers around.:rolleyes:
