Kept general colors, yellow (the happiest of all GINGHAM# background, red flowers, and layout...changed images and added buttons versus super cool punches #wish I had that corner punch!) and embossing.
What can one possibly say about Ms. Connie Jo? She is possibly one of the sweetest SCS'ers ever and is very modest about her own talent. She is so generous with her comments and RAK's and always has a smile in her posts even when she may be going through tough times herself. Her one fault, her purse apparently is attached to her arm with a large velcro strip, but if there is a fault to be had, I guess that one is not toooo naughty . Because Connie Jo is one of my favorites, I tried to put all of my fave things on this card...including one of the last snippets of my weave paper (there are still a few baskets left in it I think!)
Oh Anne you feature the most deserving Queens and I am so glad that Connie Jo has her weekend with the crown! THANKS! And hugs....

Oh Kelly, you made it to my party. Thank you so much. I (to quote a famous person and friend of mine) luuuuurrrrrve your card!!! To have you in my family has made me a winner every day. You have kept me going for so long with your kind, sweet comments. You simply oooooooze with sweetness.
I love this card. You and Michelle have made yellow my new favorite color!! I always love the country feel of your cards because I am a lot a bit country myself!!! The weave pattern paper is awesome.....I didn't even know there was such a thing!! I learn so much on this site from great artists like YOU!! I love your buttons and would always choose them over a punch. Yours takes talent...mine takes a punch. The gingham ribbon and background is perfecto. You made me a very very happy person!!! Thank you for making my day so special.
hugs,

Such a cozy, comfy, country look to this card - it reminds me of the basket my Mom used to pack to take on picnics! The gingham look does wonders, both on the DP and the adorable ribbon. You really rocked Connie's card with your version!! TFS

Avon Lady, this is positively wonderful for our high spirited, yet much older, stamper! I love that paper; how perfect for the basket! Very sweet card.
