Thankful Thursday - People Who Make a Difference

Hello Friends

I am using the Traveler stamp set again today - I used the train yesterday so this time I wanted you to see the majestic ship.  And when you get a chance, take a close look at all of the sentiments included in the Something to Say stamp set.  I'll bet you can find something to suit almost any occasion, couldn't you?!!

As for my Thankful Thursday?  Today I want to give a shout out to all those people who make the world a better place.  
Sometimes it is by their seemingly effortless act of just being who they are.  
Other times they put themselves outside of their comfort zones, or go that extra mile to truly make a difference.
Regardless of energy or time expended, they change the world.  And I am grateful for all them, the young and the old, those I know and those I don't, those who came before my time and those who will come long after I am gone.

I've got to sign off and 'get to the office' now - on Thursdays I get to work with a bunch of young people who truly do go out into the world and make a difference.  They change it - for the better - in everything they do.  The organization is CCO and you can read about it here, but for now, I wanted to dedicate a Thankful Thursday to all of them!   Those unsung heroes who, just by being themselves and staying true to the course, make a difference in this world!

And my challenge to all of you today - be aware of, and truly thankful for all those you know who make a positive difference in this world!  And maybe, just maybe, you can tell them..."Thank You".

God Bless all of you,        ~Cynthia    <><

Whatever Happened to....Thankful Thursday?

Hello Friends

And I apologize!  I haven't been very consistent at posting cards lately, have I?  Truth be told, I often don't post a card simply because I don't "have time to write" about it.  But believe me, I am still making LOTS of cards!!  I just don't post them when I think I don't have a lot of time to describe them or the techniques involved.

Well you know what?  That stops now!    :)

I am going to photograph and post my cards anyways, whether I have time to give you details or not.  Know that if I am super-silent with respect to the card, it is merely an indication of me having lots/too much to do.

So without further ado....here (finally) is a Thankful Thursday installment.  My card uses two huge images - the Thank You from one of the Photopolymer sets (Another Thank You) and the World Map stamp.  Love them both!   This is one of the Thank You cards that I've made this month for my customers.  And I am thankful to them.  Without them I wouldn't be as successful at my Stampin' Up! business as I am.  And without them, I wouldn't be in a position to share my love of stamping with so many others.  

So - you there.....  Yes, that's right, I'm talking to you.....  Yes..........YOU!  Thank You!!

Have a wonderful day.  I hope you all have much to be Thankful for!   God Bless,      ~Cynthia   <><

Fast and Fabulous Friday - It's All About the Background

Good Morning Friends

I have a confession to make.  I have been neglecting my backgrounds.  Seriously neglecting my backgrounds!  There are some great new background stamps available in the catalogue - I ordered them - I received them - and they have just sat there.  Uninked.  And forlorn.  Well not anymore!!  Take a look at this!

I used the Dictionary background stamp and a small portion of the World Map background stamp, added some sponging, ribbon, butterflies and a Label Love Focal point, and I was done.  Fast?  Check.  Fabulous?  Check.  And my background stamps in Wisteria don't look too shabby at all, do they?

And notice how easy it is to create a frame around the new Label Punch?  Just punch a second shape, cut in half and position at the top and bottom.  Voila - a faux frame.

Hope this inspires you to use your own background stamps.  I'll have to remember to take mine down off the shelf a little more often!

May you enjoy a spectacular weekend!    

God Bless you all,     ~Cynthia     <><
