You have an amazing gallery filled to the brim with wonderful creations. I have to tell you, sweet girl, how much I applaud your growth as a stamper.
You have evolved into a multi-talented artist with capable use of all the typical mediums card crafters have at their disposal.
Admittedly, I attempted to cheat numerous times, but even with all that cheating, I was forced to rip up and toss my first 2 attempts at casing one of your cards.
I took a novel approach with this one ..... I didnt cheat. You are way beyond where I am with stamping, Darla. Clearly, that's so evident when taking a journey through your gallery of visual delights.
I chose a card that seemed to be simple in design, yet I just couldnt pull it together like you did HERE.
I was so excited to see your name on Pat Sejak's wheel. Speaking of fortune, it's truly our good fortune to have you as a Queen and as a member of our gallery. Your creations are exquisite and your comments are generous.

Well, I'll be jiggered dear Annie-Jo, I can even see the similarity between your card and Darla's original! And, I too, Still Believe!! Love this wonderful card Anne - especially that plaid ribbon. A true Scottish plaid if me eyes don't deceive me! And, may I be so bold as to say I think this looks like a Christmas Card! I've about 3 of Darla's cards printed off and sitting on my desk for inspiration - and I am very slowly getting caught up on the QFTD challenges. If only we didn't have to go on vacation next week I might have actually had the chance to catch up! Hope this upload means you are back at home and that things have worked out family-wise for you. Hugs to you!

Lovely Christmas card, Ms. Anne!! Happy you are back and up to your old tricks..... I sent you a card by snail mail, did you receive it?? I haven't gotten it back yet, so I hope I had the correct address!

What a beautiful tribute to our Queen. Love the colors and embossing. Your ribbon is fab! You use the prettiest ribbons and make the loveliest of ties and bows.

Brat is right, Anne, this is truly beautiful! You made me snort coffee when I read about your inability to cheat, LOL! And knowing my inability to make a bow, you even tied a perfect knot in my honor!! Thanks so much for this week, and it's great to see you back. Hugs...
