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 our illustrious IC Challenge Moderator, Smilyn Stef.
Stef, however belatedly my congratulations comes, I was elated you were selected to be FS151!
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:
THINGS CHANGED:
1. changed the circles to a rectangle
2. changed the them
3. added mesh and a divoga clip
Hope you had a wonderful day and week as our FSer, Stef. You've arrived and rightfully so!
Thanks Stamp Muse for the Divoga clip!

I love the vellum sentiment and what it says is so true. Your Graphic 45 paper is great. Although, I don't see a beautiful bow on this one, I do love the
use of the mesh...so perfect for this theme, as is the pretty clip from M. Wonderful card to honor SmilyStef. I am sure she is very pleased.

Anne, you just never fail at coming up with winners!!! OMG, this is AMAZING. I LOVE everything about it. Your paper, the vellum sentiment, ribbon, mesh and gorgeous Divoga clip from Stamp Muse. You know, as much as we banter, I have to admit you really have such a unique talent that all of us really admire and enjoy!! I'll pick another day to banter, right now I just want you to know how much I truly enjoy your art!!! TFS Anne!!

First time I saw this sentiment only the first half was on the front of the card and I didn't want to make the card (it was at a workshop) until I saw the rest of it! Love that sentiment now! Cute card!!! What a great idea to use sale ads as a background for a priceless friendship card!!
Wow another card from Anne in the gallery today. (I knew it was my lucky day to take time and peek in the gallery.) I have no idea what a Divoga clip is.....but yours looks nice. Love how you used the papers together to accent your sentiment. Keep stamping!!!

Oh, what an extraordinary card totally out of that usual flower thing (which I love, too...)!!! Okay, YOUR cards are mostly extraordinary, so this might be the wrong adjective to describe it - blame it on my poor English!!!! Anyway, I love the subtle message you express by choosing this advertisement paper as a perfect background for the vellum sentiment which is oh so true!

OH!! What a great card!! Love the "collage" feel to it (or is it vintage?!) (NO BOW?!! hehe...I like the use of the mesh with the ribbon and that CLIP!!)
