Hey everyone, it's that time again...and what an exciting time it is for the QFTD challenges ... today marks our first year of selecting those stampers that bring much to our gallery and to each of us in a personal way.
C'mon down, Stamp300! You've just been crowned our QFTD52 ... our one year anniversary. What an auspicious time to be crowned Queen, Connnie.
Everyone is welcome to join the HERE.
Connie, I know you'll find this difficult to believe, but I got my inspiration from your hedgehog card HERE. I kept your design with just a few changes.
A special thank you goes to our sweet stamper, Kathy, aka 101 Airborne, for the 3 pewter leaf charms. Dont you think these charms are the perfect finishing touch? Thanks Kathy. Hugs Anne

Anne, I love your sweet pup. Your colors and papers are really pretty--fresh and springy. Your sweet little ribbon is darling on the little dog's head. Your soft side definitely came out in this pretty creation.

I love your sketched layout and the striking colors. I am so sorry to hear that you are stepping down - just when I finally figured out how to get here. I will miss you.

Fun case of Connie - I love this image! Cute charm, but the pup steals the show on this card.
I miss out on all the news around here - I hear you are retiring from QFTD. You were so right in starting it! Well, at least you won't have to deal with making sure Fruitcake doesn't steal the crown or the jewels or spy on the queen and all that. I am sure that was taking up an inordinate amount of your time.
Hugz to you Anne Ryan!

You always do the dog cards so well Anne! I love the tiny pink bow on the doggie's head, and those dp panels look great! Those little charms really draw the eye in, and they're such a cute accent! Your card is just great for our latest, greatest queen!

Finally going to get caught up with you, Ms Ryan!!
This big drooling puppy (?) is just the funniest ever!! Love how you combined the gingham and striped DPs, and yes, those sweet charms really topped this card off perfectly! You love dogs and it sure shows on this card!!

I just love this dog image and your wonderful watercoloring. The papers and colors you chose are just perfect.
Thanks for starting this challenge Anne. You did an amazing job. I know it's a lot to keep up w/. Enjoy your 'retirement' from being Head Queen, we hope to still see you here.
