The Queen for the Day challenges at SCS continue to honor past queens. This week we're to revisit a past queen whose name begins with M-O. There are so many inspiring artists in the lists that it's really difficult to choose just one.
Wish I had time to honor them all.
Since I can't do that, I chose one of my SCS friends, Marie (aka Momof5sons). Not only is Marie a wonderful inspiration with her card but she is so encouraging with her comments.
So this is for Queen Marie inspired by this card.

The image was one of the many UFOs in my box. I pulled out all the UFOs from this set and the Heartfelt Thanks set for my Papercrafting group to use last week. I didn't get pictures of all the cards that they made, but here's a few.

After they made 24 cards, there were still a lot of images left. I was determined not to put them back in the UFO box.
I went on an OCD rampage.....
I completed 25 more cards and 1 tag. Whew!
I had already pulled cardstock and embellishments to go with the images. That made it pretty easy to get them all together quickly.
Guess what my customers will be getting in their packages this month?
You may wonder why in the world I had so many images from this set. I wondered the same thing! I remember having borrowed this set about the time I had my gall bladder out. I spent an afternoon, day or two, just stamping all these images in different colors. Just for fun.
That was 5 years ago.
It was time to use them up!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you've been a busy girl. Your card to honor Marie is just so pretty. The group did a beautiful job, too. And, you did go OCD on us...wow! :-) You made several beauties.
ReplyDeleteLove this yellow flower card with the embossed dots…so pretty! I am going to guess UFS is unused flower stamp? LOL You are all set with these.
ReplyDeleteY'all made some really pretty cards! That's the way to get going on the UFO box for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove your card with all the pretty yellow. Super image too.

My mouth is hanging fully open right now, Bonnie! What an amazing array of cards from your group and then to get to those TWENTY-FIVE that you made! Shut up!! Here I was feeling pretty dang smug with myself for posting THREE cards I made on the weekend. Oh, Lordie, I'm am so chuckling. BTW, they are all unmistakably "Bonnie beautiful!"
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie. These are gorgeous. Love the designs and now you have loads of cards to play with.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel great when you have had a good clear out?

Bonnie, All I can say is WOW!! You are on a Row! I can't even think to catch up with you right now. I wish I could. I would be having FUN! These cards are all sooo lovely. Really love the stamps sets. TFS
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie. Lovely card and a lovely tribute to wonderful Marie. The image is so pretty. Congrats on getting so many cards done and so many items out of your UFO box! Loll xx
ReplyDeleteWOw, you were a busy stamper....I am thinking that is one of the oldest sets I ever used, LOL! I remember thinking how cool it was, to be able to make the flowers any color I wanted! Still think it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really love your cards! What a productive day! Could you tell me what the stamps are? I just LOVE those kind of flowers and would get that set in a New York minute!
ReplyDeleteDarnell's captured our thoughts wonderfully: "Bonnie Beautiful!"
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed you made all those cards - well done for using up so many UFOs!
I can echo all the WOW's, the cards are so beautiful, what a way to get a load of cards done even if it has taken 5 years LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am struggling with one a day let alone 25.
Talk about getting things done! WOW! What beautiful cards you came up with! Especially the one you highlighted with the dotted ribbon coordinating with the embossed dots. (Plus yellow is my favorite color.)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sunny yellow--like happiness on a card! =D And the other cards are just as lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWay to use up all those pretty stamped images! The cards are all gorgeous, especially the yellow version for the QFTD! You inspire me to keep digging through my unused stamped images and unfinished elements!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You sure accomplished a lot. I'm impressed :)
ReplyDeleteBest crafty wishes!

Oh you marvelous lady, to get so many of these cards pulled together. Even if you _did_ have the images precolored long ago. What a worker-bee you were to accomplish 25 cards. Each one was beautiful & I loved all these colorful, cheery flowers. Your layouts on the cards were so pretty & really highlighted the lovely images. Great job. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteWow that is a LOT of cards ! Good for you to use up images from 5 years ago. I would have given them away (which is what I end up doing, I don't like them hanging around). Your cards are beautiful! Shirleyx
