I came to "know" Mary as one of talented hostesses of the Tuesday color challenge. Mary has a knack of making combinations that spark my imagination and add energy (not stress!) to the challenge. Her samples are always easy on the eye and provide a springboard for creativity. I chose to CASE her very first CC DT card: thinking of you by MaryR917 at Splitcoaststampers
This card is now in the hands of my BF Judy's mom Susie. We celebrated her 75th birthday today.
I love the layout, had to trim a couple of the panels a bit. I used Websters pages in light spring colors, a sentiment heat embossed in detail gold and a different Nestie & bow. PT - 3
Mary, I hope that you will continue your challenge duties and inspiring us with your work. Enjoy your reign as Queen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

This is easy on the eye for sure! Lovely card, such a special sentiment (I totally agree with it), and wonderful colors. Great case. I love when you tell us where your cards go and why you made them Sis. Hugz!

I love your version of my card-such pretty soft colors and the sentiment is wonderful-especially for a 75 year old-I am so honored that you played along in the challenge this week

Such a phenomenal card Marzi. It's soft and delicate and the quote is up there with one of my many favorites. I'm just wondering when my work of art is going to kick in. How long does it take? I'm over 50, is that enough? Or does it take longer for a Fruitcake to become wise? I'm so confused, but I'm not confused about your beautiful card.
