There's a fabulous new game to check out here where one stamper is crowned Queen For The Day each weekend. Every HRH (Her Royal Highness) is selected because she consistently leaves comments and gives encouragement to other stampers, and regularly participates in some of the daily challenges.
What a great way to honour those who take so much time and thought to encourage us, and who help to make SCS such a warm, friendly, and inspiring place!
This weekend it was the wonderful Peggy (aka marilynprestonn) - I'm a bit late with my card, but I'm sure you won't mind wearing your crown for a bit longer, Peggy!
I chose this gorgeous, happy card to CASE. The flowers are a bit different and I changed the gingham to blue because it's her favourite colour! I also made a longer card because my flowers were quite big!
Hope you enjoyed/are still enjoying your much deserved reign, Your Royal Highness, Queen Peggy! (I am curtseying, as we're good at that in Brit-land!)

Very bold, very cheerful, very sweet! And what a nice game that has been established! I'll bet you'll be HRH too at some point, with all the kind comments you leave for so many.
By the way, where do you buy envelopes that fit these shaped cards?
