How great to pass the crown on to Roxie - she is such a great inspiration on this site!!! I love her cards and sketches, and her sweet comments. I could have cased a hundred cards, but I am trying to build up my Christmas stash so I picked this gorgeous beauty:

Love your choice of hymnal page and the nesties that you chose. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous image and coloring - wonderful DPs and accents too. Wonderful CASE, wonderful card.

I love your card Nancy!! I like that you used a nutcracker and put him in that regal oval. I also love how the page that looks like it came out of a hymnal.

Nancy, this is great! I knew the card you chose...as I have been in Rox's gallery for hours! What a treasure trove. And here you go....another card on the stack! Yikes, I better get moving. Love the musical bg (so very CT0611 if you ask me!) And your blooms are sweet. Lovely card. LYMI

Nancy, you've done it again. Such a wonderfully detailed card. I LOVE that image and your b/g musical scoring. That layout is awesome. You did real good honoring Queen Roxie this week! I have to get to mine - yikes!

I am waiting for the dance of the sugar plum fairies now!!! Love this nutcracker image. Great idea to use the music sheet in the background. Love the little poinsettia accent. Great card to honor Roxy!

Love the musical background - perfect for your little soldier. Great card! Hope you enjoyed your reign as QFTD before you had to pass along the crown.
