Susan, One4Joy, was named Queen for the Week this week and she has a super fun gallery; it has really funky art pieces, fun original works of art, and plenty of furniture and cupcakes. I decided I would go with the furniture since I recently purchased a new couch which I love. I cased this card/pizza box:
I added an embossed flourish, some faux stitching and did some paper piecing. I love Susan's style and from the wonderful things everyone has said about her, she must be one special lady.
Thanks for letting us play in your gallery Susan and congrats!

well, Nancy, I'm smiling just gazing at that polka dot couch! love, love those pillows (looks just like the ones my DH grumbles about), especially the heart shaped one. I think you cased that pizza box above and beyond what I did. Wonderful.
Thanks so much and blessings

Yikes, Nancy, this is just so much Susan. I read her comment, and I think she was pretty direct about great your card is. I love the swirl behind your couch and the pillows are just a case of creative thinking!

Well, what a creative thinking card! I love this kraft paper - it does look like the "pizza box" that Susan made!! With all the furniture in her gallery, I think the couch is just perfect with all those comfy pillows to curl up with, accented beautifully by the flourishes. Your popped up sentiment made me do exactly that - SMILE!! Great job, Nancy, love this idea!!
Susan, wonderful idea to make the box to hold the coffee gift card - does your creativity know no bounds, woman??! Thanks for the cool project!!

I'm lovin' that couch Nancy. Think I'll come over for awhile and visit, but I promise not to ruin your new furniture. Hey, maybe I'll bring you some long awaited fruitcake when I come! LOL! This is so original and those pillows are a great added touch. You really captured Susan's style on this one!
