I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how thankful I am for all my friends and family. The ones who encourage you, support you, and bring sunshine into your life. And I LOVE that Stampin' Up! has a stamp that is directed right to them!! For all my friends and family, and those of you who qualify as both, I love you and am eternally grateful for you in my life!
Since this is a stamping and crafting blog after all.....I am also just a little bit excited to share with you that I finally got to play with my new clear, photopolymer stamps. They cling like you wouldn't believe to the clear blocks! They are completely transparent so you can see exactly where you are stamping. They are flexible (I curved the stamp to make a sun from a straight-line banner). And they stamp with the exceptional and superb quality that you (and I) have grown to expect from Stampin' Up! I am sold, literally SOLD, on how well they perform. And I can't wait to get the next set that is released!

I brayered a sunny background onto this card, then heat-embossed both the sun (LOVE the clear photopolymer stamps!) and the sentiment in black. The addition of a few of my favourite butterflies, and a simple but effective card is ready to be sent out to one of the multitude of wonderful friends that I call mine.
I hope your day - and your long weekend - are shaping up to be just as sunny and bright as this card is. Many of you, like me, are celebrating the most important day of the year this weekend. To all of you I wish a joyful, peace-filled and truly Blessed Easter.
God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
