Wow, with the chaos of the holidays finally behind me, I discovered some new found time! Given that, I knew I really wanted to join in the FS challenge for Benzi, aka Brenda.
Brenda, however belatedly my congratulations comes, I was elated you were selected to be FS10!
I had much difficultly decided on which card to case. Each and every one of your cards is a delight in and of itself. After careful consideration, I finally decided on this one with a few changes:
1. the precise paper cut
2. omitted the ribbons for buttons
3. omitted the flower
4. changed the image
Congrats again, Benzi. I know it was a difficult time of the year to be selected as FSer; however, I trust you still have great fun looking at everyone's cards!
Thanks Fruitcake for the red buttons!

Wowza! I'm so glad you finally got to play along because this one is stunning! Love the gorgeous ribbon with this image. The pop of the red button is the perfect embellishment, too. Happy New Year!

I am SO glad to see you are back to making cards! This is a beauty, as are all of yours, but the red, black and white are so crisp and pretty! Happy New Year, Anne!

OMG, Anne, this is a truly beautiful card! I dearly love the combo of red, black, and white and need to start using it more. Your image is soooo pretty and what can I say about that bow? I tell you, you are Queen of Bows. Hope someone has given you a crown for this special honor. Don't worry a second about being late with this card. It is been such a busy time for everyone and I just thank you for honoring me as FS with this gorgeous creation. Wishing you a wonderful 2010!
Edit: Had to come back and say I see you used a Fruitcake button...I didn't realize she had buttons...thought it was only pearls. That red button is a wonderful addition.

....I say this all the time and I'm not sure if people know what I mean....but I love it when I'm browsing the main gallery and something jumps out at me and it's a card by someone I'm already 'stalking'. That's what happened here.....what a pretty, pretty card....I just love the image. TFS.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Wow, Wow, Wow Anne, you always know how to make a GREAT card. I shouldn't be surprised, but I always am when I see your cards. Each one is just SO SPECIAL. LOVE that image, your color combo and that OH SO YUMMY perfect RIBBON!!! I'm with Benz, you should get a special Ribbon Award for your awesome bows!!! I think this is "stellar" and I'm so glad you were able to find time to honor Benz as FS. What a treat!! TFS!!

Your eye for design and color just rocks my stamping world. And how you tie a perfect bow is a delight to see every time on one of your magnificent cards. Happy New Year to you and yours!
