How can she be with such a gorgeous gallery? I used to really get a laugh out of her Cranky Sophie watermark and wonder, is she really cranky?? Of course I mean SophieLaFontaine! Sophie, come grab your Featured Stamper badge!
Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Sketch challenges include Mojo Sketches, Design Team Sketch Challenges, and Blog Sketch Challenges, etc. Please be sure to check the keywords!
UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:
1. Keyword FS285.
2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not link back to your personal blog.
If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!

Sophie, you so very much deserve this honour! Your gallery has so many beautiful cards, and I always love seeing your generous comments on our cards. I wish I was at home, so I could make a card in your honour, but I'll be home by Wednesday, so hopefully, by the end of the week, I'll be able to CASE one or more of your wonderful cards.

I have six cards I can't decide amongst. I went back through all 12 pages of your beautiful gallery. You are an amazing artist. Congratulations on this honor. And I agree that your comments are always so kind and thoughtful.
Congratulations to one of the most interesting and talented stampers here on SCS! Like so many other fans here, I've followed her art for years! I can't imagine casing anything good enough but I'm sure going to have fun trying!! Congrats Sophie!! Enjoy your week!!

Julie- thanks for highlighting Sophie's great gallery of cards, very inspiring! I was influenced by Sophie's Secretary Birthday- updated the typewriter, and added a message from SU's Lots of Thoughts. Here's Typewritten Thanks

My card (for Sophie) did not come up in the FS285 gallery. Does it take a while to happen sometimes, anyone know?
Sorry to bother you all! Thanks for any help. I'll check the gallery again in a bit.

Wow! Sophie! First Queen and now Featured Stamper. You've been discovered! I loved your cards from the first one I saw and I sure hope I get time to make one to honor you today. You rock!
Dear Sophie, congratulations on being chosen as our Featured Stamper. This is VERY well-deserved and I have been inspired by your unique, lovely style many times. I'm not sure I will get to participate but at least wanted to send a note your way. Enjoy your reign!!
Julie, this was a fun gallery to go through. I had a difficult time finding which card I wanted to CASE.
Here's my card.

Sophie, I love every detail of every card in your gallery. That might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much. I poured over all your entries, visited your old blog -- you have stolen my heart.
Here is my tribute. I had about six items saved, and this is the one I was inspired to make. I was very inspired by all your watercoloring though. You are so talented.
Sophie, congratulations on being FS. Your gallery is fantastic. So many beautiful cards it was hard to narrow it down to just one. Here is my card in your honor:
