It appears that someone disguised as me, QUEEN44 The Fruitcake, has stolen my crown and is trying to fight through the Canadian snow to get it to the new Queen45, a/k/a as Heather and Dizzi!
First of all, it's quite obvious that the "so called mystery queen" is driving in a car with fake gold stickle bumpers, had her car shined up with crystal effects, and dyed her hair with gold stickles in an attempt to appear to be me, QUEEN44 The Fruitcake. I guess she thinks she can cross the Canadian border without her passport since she's so important and everything.
At first I thought this had to be Anne Ryan as I have seen her depicted in that car before; however, I did not detect any chin hair, red lipstick, fake jewels or a bottle of booze in the back seat. I have a report from our resident SCS detective, debzi333, a/k/a Agent 9999, who thorougly investigated as to the identity of this faux queen. Aha...just as I expected, it wasn't Anne Ryan after all. It was marilynpreston, a/k/a Peggy. She must have figured she'd have to steal it during the night to give it to our new Queen45 since I have reportedly been ousted from office and wouldn't surrender the crown. Our wonderful and sweet Peggy has not only stolen from me, QUEEN44 The Fruitcake, but has disguised herself as me, QUEEN44 The Fruitcake, and will go through any snow storm to get it to Queen45. She even disguised some of the snow with her fake gold and silver pom poms so as to appear to be ME, QUEEN44 The Fruitcake, who never travels in the snow without her gold and silver pom poms.
Guess you all won't be getting free stamp supplies which I was going to put into law, and an invitation to the royal wedding. Except Benzi, she'll still have to work the reception tables. Poor Benzi!
As you may have read earlier, I was getting exhausted from wearing that big, heavy crown on my big swollen head anyway. It was also exhausting being waited on hand and foot and spending my whole day counting all my money and treasures. I shall go live among the paupers until my regime, once again, prevails over Queen45.
I could add more, but I think you get the point about all this. I have to say Heather, it took me a long time to come up with this card, get it made, and create a story just for you.
Heather, or as some of us know her as Dizzi, is one of my best buddies on SCS's. We first met when Heather commented on how much we used punches and we then became The Punch Pals. For quite some time we were happily going about our "own punch business" when Benzi had to butt in and not only make herself a member, but PREZ of the group. She changed the name to The Three Punchkateers without the approval of the co-founders, Heather and myself. After that, she found others who got caught in her web of "punch destruction" and had them join the group. She then renamed it The Punchkateerz; and, guess what, she's still the Prez 4-ever. But, that's another story.
Heather, I am so excited for your nomination as Queen this week. My other personality is jealous, but I am so proud!! You have been a wonderful source of witty humor and beautiful creations. If you're ever home long enough to use your punches, would love to see more beautiful cards. And, I see you have that fancy high tech thing going with your uploads now. I bow to you my mighty Queen and Punch Tech!! Hugs and Love
P.S. I made this green as Heather is a St. Patrick's Day baby; but don't worry Heather, I won't use this as your birthday card!

OK, I think I can type now...
I was pretty much speechless when first I saw this. It's taken me two days to be able to comment on it. (Actually, I was trying to go through the QFTD45 gallery from the beginning - and then when I got back to it, I just had to save this one until the last...)
OK, where shall I start. Yes, I like green. And I did drive a Volkswagen in my younger years. And I do live where it snows. In fact, this winter it snows a lot. So I get those connections. But I do have questions for you, HRPITH Pamzi.
You really look like that, eh? WOW. You did say it was Peggy disguised as YOU. Which would mean you look like that. WOW.
Why do you never travel in the snow without your gold and silver pom poms? Why do you even HAVE gold and silver pom poms? NO! WAIT! Don't answer that. Does your Cowboy know you have gold and silver pom poms? No, wait. DON"T ANSWER THAT!
Are you admitting to having a split personality? Sure sounds like it. Yikes!
Did you see that you even have SparklePlenty100 calling me a Pretend Queen? And Bearzi calling you Queen forever!
Did you see Jo's Quote of the Day? Here it is: So Pam, I guess it's official. You're crazy. Love it! You hit the nail on the head Jo!
Peggy says it's her. Nutzi says it's not. And, just so you know, Nutzi is on the case now Fruitflake. We'll see what she finally determines. Go Nutzi!
Even Debzi knew you needed to give up the crown. Too bad you picked out all the jewels and stretched it to such huge proportions before parting with it.
I think Terri has it figured though. You've been sniffing glue. Crafter's glue. The worst kind to sniff. Yup. That 'esplains' a lot.
Hugz my Original Punch Pal. Thankz for makin' a card in my honour - even if you were still reeling from the loss of your crown. And great job for all the punching you did on it. I love it. RYPH!!! Then hop in your little green car and come and visit me!

And in answer to Benzi's question (Heather won't be threatening us with horrible endings if we don't bow down to her....will you, Heather????????)
Nope. No horrible endings. But I will be by my mailbox waiting for free stamp supplies from Da Fruitflake.

I think I have it! Analyzing the facial structure and the behavior, I think this is Bob Barker in disguise. See the neck and the jaw area - plus that make up and hair look very much like he did in that last insurance commercial. He is a bit older now so he could be slipping enough to be driving a convertible in the snow. He has been picking up odd jobs here and there.... my guess is Anne Ryan paid him.
Back to the card - this is hysterical - true you! I so love your sense of humor and your card making style. You never cease to entertain and awe us. Great job my friend.

OH MY, its taken me at least 2 hours to wade through all the "slander" and "mud flinging" going on here with the delivery of the crown and who stole what!!! I thought I wandered into da Mudder's Tea Pot party where Bertie and Gertie were flinging cherry pits at everyone!! Shoulda wore my protective headgear is what I shoulda done!!
Your card, dear Pamzi, is a remarkable take on Heather's card, albeit looks nothing like it!! Love the glitzy stuff and the embossed and PUNCHED (a Lot!) borders and embellies. Your story, though it does go on and on, gave me and I'll bet, Heather, a really good laugh, and I find it a crying shame that Benzi has to wait on tables, while YOU, it seems, can talk you way out of anything that even seems like trouble!
Kidding aside, your card is quite original and I find myself giggling every time I go back for another look!
Great story and card to honor Heather, a most remarkable Queen!!

Heather and Peggy - you can't handle the ROYAL TRUTH. Debzi, of course you are still the lead and ONLY 9999 IQ I would trust as detective on this case. I mean REALLY. Now Nutzi is trying to b/come the lead investigator. I think NOT! Especially since you agree with ME!!
I don't know why the pom poms, I guess it's cuz I'm da Royal Queen and can do whatever I want and why not lay out of blanket of gold and silver pom poms on my travels? Wait, I mean, Peggy's travels!
Bob Barker - I think NOT! Where did he come from Nutzi. Your detective skills really need sharpening. Maybe Debzi can tutor you, but you will always be a "grasshopper" in training.
Yes, I do have a split personality and I am crazy, but at least I'm ROYAL!!! I get free shrink services for it. Can you say that?
And, last but not least, Terri, I am in secret rehab from a sniffin' that glue. I wish my lowly servants would quit making my cards in the vicinity where I count my royal treasures. Seems their glue has gotten the best of me. I'm also always sprinkled with that sparkly stuff - I think it's called Dazzling Diamonds, but DD does befit me as QUEEN!
My shrink is also addressing my glue addiction, but I think it's a lost cause. Maybe, after all, it was me in that car with the crown - who knows what my glue high or split personalities do when I'm not present.
I may be at the BFGAC (Betty Ford Glue Addiciton Clinic) across the street from Anne at the BFC. Are there any of us that aren't CRAZY by now? I think not. At least, as Queen, like I said, I get all my services FREE!

But darling, in reference to your last comment - you aren't the Queen any longer. Face it. With a grin.
And let the sun shine in... Face it with a grin. Smilers never lose. And frowners never win. Let the sun shine in. Face it with a grin. Open up your heart. And let the sun shine in.
Cuz you ain't da Queen no more Fruitflakezi. <--- That's my grin. Cuz, well, you know why! I'm Da Queen!

The card and story is completely hilarious!! The snow is a nice touch, because it's snowing lots here in Canada. There's loads of punching too (the crafting kind, not the fighting kind) - great way to honour Queen Heather.
