Today's FS is someone we all know, a person with a heart of gold....PAT SMETHERS. I looked in her gallery for a while and because I just made her a cowboy card, I chose this beauty. ~May's Swingin' Birthday~ by patsmethers at Splitcoaststampers Hers is more cheerful than mine and looks like a day in Spring. I had so much fun with it just the same.
Enjoy your wonderful week, Pat. You so deserve it!
Kept Pat's layout.
Changed the paper, punches, image, and instead of a ribbon, I've had this pretty feather needing some use and stuck it on. Moved my iron gate punch to top.
For Pam: punch tally: 2 punches, 2 die cuts-lost 250 lbs. because of a little trouble and lots of frustration trying to use my MS doily lace punch, which never got used. LOL

What a fabulous and striking card for Pat!!! Yup, I like your formla for using punches and losing weight!! I suspect that you have disappeared at the 105 lb lose - never mind 250 pounds! LOL!!!!
I told you my MS Doily punch does not work either -but DH showed me how to use a mallet on it while I hold it down to punch - I kid you not!!!!!! I'll create a tutorial!!!

Sheez, I have trouble with my MS lace doiley punch, too. It doesn't like card stock. Go figure.
Your card is so pretty Benzalina! What a wonderful tribute to the sweet Pat!

I really like the sharp black and white with the red! Its very eye catching and just pops in the gallery! Beautifully done...with the perfect image for your background swirls! I am liking that punch! I might have to look for that one! It rocks!
