Oh what a bitter sweet night it was for me last night. Just as I discovered you won the highly coveted award, I went into panic mode. What to do, what to do, what to do plaqued me all night. There is no way, under any circumstances, can I ever case one of your cards. Oh, what am I going to do now.
Finally, after getting over the horrible fear of having/wanting to case Laurie, I thought the best approach was one of simplicity. Yes, that's the key word for me. Just stay away from all the elegant art and I should be able to come up with something. Nope, not so.
Sweet girl, I ask your understanding with what I've managed to do to your sweet card here: FIGHT LIKE A GIRL
THINGS CHANGED:
1. added an additional panel
2. changed the image
3. used one solid color for the hearts EF
4. moved the ribbon
5. created a disaster of your sweet card.
Laurie, by now, I have to think you realize I'm not all there ~ as is evidenced by this card.
Hopefully, you're having way too much fun to realize what I've managed to do here! Beth, you made a stellar choice today! Thanks so much.
Laurie, enjoy not only this day but all week as the wonderful creations continue to find their way into your FS 158 gallery!
Thanks Peggy-Sue for the SU ribbon and Fruitcake for the red buttons.
I'm having company for dinner, so I'll be back later to comment.
Yea, Laurie!!!

OMG, Anne, you crack me up and, I whole heartedly agree that you should BE LOCKED UP FOR GOOD!!! LOL! You always manage to put an "Anne" twist on your cards that are just so fun to view.

Very pretty Anne! I know I hold the key to your heart! ;) I told you time and time again that you should be locked up - and in fact you have been locked up so many times - the BFC, the Bighouse, The SuperMax............ the card is most appropriate! Happy Valentines Day!

Company for dinner? What are you or should I say, is your DH fixing? Wish I lived closer. hehe........Must say you take a very good photo and don't look to shabby cut out and popped up on a card. Just a tad pale tho. Feelin alright? This card just reeks of Anne Ryan Style. I love that dp, love the eb part, the ribbon is gorgeous and the key, well, if you lock someone up you are supposed to "hide" the key. Oh well. Glad you got out and were able to put a big red button on this beautiful card. LOVE IT! Don't eat too much! TFS :0)
