Congratulations to my friend and fellow Punchkateer Deborah, aka "debzi333" here on SCS, for being chosen QUEEN FOR THE DAY today! Not only does she have a super fun gallery, Debzi is so sweet, funny, and leaves the best and most encouraging comments. I generally don't do the CASE-ing games/challenges (I find it so intimidating!!), but wanted to try to do something to honor Debzi on her special day. I chose this wonderful "Super CAS Chickadee" card to CASE: Super CAS Chickadee by debzi333 at Splitcoaststampers
Debzi and I share a passion for buttons and THIS card of hers was the one that convinced me that I must have the PTI Everyday Button Bits stamp set that she used to make it! I love how she used a kraft card base for her card, so I kept that. But I *had* to use punches for my Punchkateer friend, so I used this double loops punched frame (a RAK gift from lisaadd), used different DP (although I actually own the BG DP Debzi used in her card!!), and used a different twine/string treatment.
This card is also for today's Free for All challenge, F4A13, Buttons & Bows, to make something with buttons and/or ribbon ... be creative ... try something different with them. My button is my little chickadee's body and I'm using heavyweight string as my "ribbon". I tied each end into a bow to "anchor" it and make it into a wire for this birdie to perch on!!
Enjoy being QUEEN today, Debzi!! You definitely deserve it for being such a kind and encouraging member of the SCS community and taking part in the challenges I salute you!!
Thanks for looking!
Emily

Emily, I was meandering through today's Gallery, and I could spot an "ejkeaton" card without even seeing your name! I am getting so good at getting to know your style!
GREAT job on CASEing Deb's card, which is also so cute. And I knew we'd be seeing Button Bits from you for today's challenge! It looks very, very nice.

I took a look because I thought that punched frame is fantastic. That's when I noticed how the buttons were used and I have to agree, I am beginning to love buttons too. I have tons of them from my Mom and my MIL. So, without further adue, I'm off to create something with buttons. I know what you mean about intimidating but my experiences have shown me that everyone I have met on SCS has been nothing but supportive so set them fears free Girl and participate!
