Okay that was a toughie! The Queen this time is Mary (Stampercamper) and what a gallery! I had a hard time trying to figure out which one I wanted to do because there are so many wonderful cards!!! But I did decide on this GORGEOUS card: CCMC158 My Friend by stampercamper at Splitcoaststampers
I spent a lot of time chalking....and ZERO time measuring :( LOL I stamped my sentiment and then went to add the ribbon...OOPS! I had to cover the lower quarter inch of my stamp and chalking. Just so you know, there is some wonderful orange chalk under that orange ribbon : )
I kept Mary's layout the same, but my scallops are a bit larger. I think the stamps are fairly similar and of course, a different sentiment.
Congratulations Mary!!! I do hope you will enjoy your time as queen!!! I had a lovely time looking around your gallery!!! Thank you Trish for hosting and thank you all for stopping to take a peek!

I just happened to spy this as I was checking the gallery. Kathleen, this is a beautiful, beautiful card!!!! I think circle cards are not that easy to pull off, but you certainly did with this one. I love it!!

Kathleen, this is beautiful...great job with the chalking. I chose this card to case, did some sponging, and ended up throwing it away. Plus, I was using a silhouette that really reminds me of yours. Anyway, I took a different route. I've had a hard time this week with my stamping. Ugh!
Are you enjoying this hot weather...stay cool if possible.

I love this card..that dotted paper framing it really gives it some pizazz and your "chalking" skills are fab..I believe you about the orange under the ribbon ;)

I've never made a circle card, but yours is so pretty! A beautiful tribute to our new queen this week, Kathleen! Sorry for the oopsie, but we all go through those times. Great card~
