She improves the world, one punch at a time....and her faith and friendship improve everyday life. That is Nancy, Queen for the Day. I met this sweet Stamper two years ago, when she was a wee-baby Stamper, full of promise... and does she ever deliver! We continually challenge each other, and Nancy is one of the most genuinely sweet people I have ever met. She calls me the Enabler, and once said that I do “scary” things and she follows! (She speaks of the easel card, of course!) Nancy, I will always treasure you and am thankful for how God allowed our paths to cross, because you have made my path richer. Thanks for praying up my needs and being such a wonderful encourager.
After much searching, I chose to case Nancy's World Peas because of the unique shape. I wanted to make one of these shaped easel's in the worst way, and could not get my head around it- until Nancy sent one to me! I love it! To honor our friendship, I am replacing this sweet pea, with the MAN- one who Nancy has come to love, and now owns! Woot! I chose this scripture from ODBD's Father's Day Set to honor the faith that we also share. Queen Nancy, have a beautiful week! As Crystal would put it- you are like on a level 10! LYMIMIMIMI.
BTW: 25 punchez, just for you! And I didn't loose one dang ounce!
Thanks for looking!

Aw Pat, how sweetly you honored our friend, the Queen. I love this shaped easel card and good for you to get one done. I still have not attempted an easel card, they scare me to death!!! Love this and I know Queen Nancy will too.

Pat, you KNEW the MAN had to be used for this one, didn't you? What a grogeous creation for our Nancy. You must have been pushing those punches wrong or the weight would have just dropped sooooo fast, you would be amazed. LOL Love your card and I know Nancy does.

Sniff, sniff - you made me cry with those sweet words! Wow- I am so glad you brought out THE MAN and added all those fun punchez and details - you were able to keep him manly but add a rose and all those swirls - you are the master! Your shaped Easel is wonderful and perfect! Since I learned to make an easel card from you, learned about THE MAN from you, and learned about details and die cutz from you - you totally deserve the title of Enabler! I always wondered what you would do if you ever cased one of my cards, and I am not disappointed - this is wonderful. Sweet case, sweet card, and sweet words. Thanks Sweet Pat - LYMISOMHUTTMABABT!!!!!!!!!

Oh Mrs. Buckle, I've been workin' out on zee ranch this w/end and haven't had time to comment. And, what do I see when I come to zee computer - anutha one of my MENZ! Now, how many of them there MENZ is out there? I thought I had them all. You certainly duded him up just fine - better than Miss Kitty - LOL!! He definitely won't want me to be dressin' him anymore. You two have put me to shame.
You have honored Nancy brilliantly. Just when I think I can't say one more time that one of your cowboy and easel card is the best, here I go again. This has to be the best cowboy/easel and shaped card evah! Look at those details and punchez! Shall you become an honorary punchie? With that punch count, you definitely qualify. This is soooo beautifully done and the verse is so wonderful. Pat, there is just nuthin' negative to say about you or your work, except that business about stealin' zee cowboys!!! Hugs - Faith!

Ah, the honorary man for the honorary lady. A perfect match on a perfectly shaped enabled easel full of feminine finery for the lady and musky manliness (also for the lady!!!) Such a tribute to such a fine friend. Bless you both as you sharpen one another and enjoy some humor along the way...Hugz
