I am so excited that my friend, PAM124, is Featured Stamper this week. Wow! Congrats, Pam!
You certainly deserve it and there is plenty to choose from. Just thinking of all those Christmas cards Pam made this year..for starters.
I chose this card to case: Christmas Wish For Peace by pam124 at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the layout, changed the color combo, instead of ribbon, I used a mug punch I have been really wanting to try out, changed the image, left off a sentiment, instead of a snowflake, I used a pretty poinsettia and pearl Pam sent me, and used deckle nesties. I paper pieced the image mug which was sent to me by two awesome stampers, Sue aka coffeestamper aka Perk AND also Peggy aka marilynprestonn. I won't say which image I used today. LOL Thanks to both of these friends. Also, paper pieced the punched mugs and the foam. I am really pleased with my card and already have another one of Pam's that I want to case. Actually, several. Such an awesome gallery!!!

Benz, this is just precious. I love that little mouse in that darling dotted cup. What a fabulous job you did CAS'ing Fruitcake. You must not have one of those wonderful sewing machines you sent her, cuz I don't see any stitching going on here. hehe Love your bg dp and that little cup of joe inside. Wonderful card! TFS :0)

OMG Benzalina, my dear sweet friend who sends me fake sewing machines, You Have OUTDONE yourself with this one. It must be something about Fruitcake's cards that just got your "mojo" going!!! LOL!!! I know you said you don't normally do the FS challenge. Well, let me tell you, you could have fooled me. Your card ended up better than mine. You know it's not nice to outshine the FS!!! It's a rule with SCS, so you may have to remove your precious card. Sorry, but it's the rule!! LOL!! What's not to LOVE about your card. Well, let's see - okay, I'm JEALOUS over your mug punch - did you go stealing from Hobby Lobby again to get that great punch that should have been mine. Oh no, don't tell me you'll send me one because I know it WON'T work like that faux sewing machine you promised me. I've given up on the laptop and cricut now, but could you work on that plane and car for myself and Brat. We don't ask for much!!! Now, back to YOUR card - LOVE the color combo, that adorable little house mouse and your poinsetta/pearl treatment looks vaguely familiar; oh, yes, pam124 used lots of them and sent you some of you very own. Well, you know, the card would be a winner with or without them because the image and paper piecing are so well done that they didn't even need that fancy schmancy stuff pam124 likes to put on her cards. What do you expect from a Fruitcake??? I am SO PLEASED and SO HONORED that you joined the challenge today Benz and I know everyone will delight in your darling card!!!

P.S. Benz, like I haven't already said enough; but, I wanted to comment on how I LOVE the mug on the inside of your card. All you were missing to be a Fruitcake wanabe was to add marbles and a bath mat for your photo shoot!!! LOL!!!
