Anne Ryan is the Featured Stamper this week. Everyday when I check out SCS I make a specific search for any new cards Anne has posted and I love reading the thoughtful, encouraging comments she posts on cards. I was puzzled for awhile by the description after her signature, "Honorary Princess of the High Maintenance Club" until I realized that she maintains all of us at a high level. With that understanding I completely agree to the high (stratuspheric!!) maintenance moniker. Anne, you are a total gem!
I chose this card to CASE: Now and Forever by Anne Ryan at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the wonderful Origami kimono to a scrolled paper because I haven't a clue how to fold the kimono and I used my Nesties die cut rod and my "Good Luck" chop punch because the closest thing I had to the coin was an ancient bus token.

I love this card and you made it yours, Anne will just love it. What a fine tribute to the style she loves the most. Just so...beautiful, simply beautiful.

This is just wonderful! I know exactly which card you cased because I wanted to do that one, too. But like you, I don't have the first clue about how to fold it. I like your ancient scrolls.

Girl, let me just tell you this one is already into my favorites! How could I let a card like this go by without adding it to my faves? I am so totally amazed by what you've created. You can probably tell I'm all about asian, and I fell in love with this as soon as I opened it! Wow, I love your creativity! Love your ancient scrolls and your ancient bus token. Oh, how wonderfully special and creative is that! Fabulous card, Peg, absolutely fabulous! I am honored you cased this particular card, and equally as honored that you took my design layout and created one drop dead gorgeous card that's now your own. Thanks so much for playing!

OMG, I have no idea how I missed your beautiful card when I was perusing the gallery!
WOW! I know just what you mean, too! I love the card you selected to case and didn't have the first clue how to go about making a kimono fold and I certainly don't have any scroll bars hanging out in my embellishment stash (yet)!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous (love those scrolls) and a great case. Thank you so much for sharing!

Oh Peg, I am so excited....no, this isnt the exact card that you submitted for this FS gallery, but what I now have in my hands is just as great! Go check out my gallery, and take another look at one totally fabulous card that I can now call my own! Thank you so much for sending me a card! It's precious.
