Congratulations Chris (glowbug) on becoming our latest Queen. Wear your crown proudly - you are so very deserving of this honor. I loved looking through your beautiful works of art. Here is the card that inspired me You light up my life
I needed a masculine retirement card for tomorrow night. One of our dear friends is retiring.
I kept it a water scene, square card, used brads and embossing and sewed on my card..
Enjoy your reign, Queen Glowbug
This is also for today's ways to use it challenge - to use embossing on your card/project.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat

This is the perfect retirement card. Love the embossing folder you used for the bg. Looks great with the awesome image. Your stitching always adds so much to your wonderful cards. Thanks for playing in the challenge.
