This is the card I made for Maddy as she is this week's featured stamper. She is very deserving of this honor! This is the wonderful card of Maddy's that I cased:
1. Every week I make a special tribute card for the featured stamper and I usually make a theme card to coincide with Beth's catchy little phrase.
2. Today I did something a little different. In many a phone conversation with Maddy she's been concerned on how she is gonna say thank you for all the wonderful cards she has received.
3. I made a thank you card today for two reasons: The first reason is to dedicate this card to all of you (from both Maddy and I) who have brightened Maddy's day (day in and day out) by sending wonderful cards, your thoughts and prayers, and nice notes and messages.
4. The second reason is that Maddy has met a wonderful friend at the Cancer Treatment Center of America who has truly become a dear friend to her. I wish I could remember her name. Maddy is leaving for a three day consultation at CTCA in Philly a week from Monday and I am hoping that she will get this card before she leaves.
5. I know Maddy doesn't have time to make a card for her friend so I made this card so that she could give it to her friend at CTCA.
Special note:
Just like Maddy's card, the flower is covered in fabric as well, the background is fabric. Both have been embossed with ultra thick embossing powder as has the butterfly.
Congratulations Maddy! You deserve this!

Cindy, you have been such a great friend to Maddy, to all of us by sharing Maddy's story and keeping us updated on her, you are one very special lady and I'm sure Maddy knows it. BUT, I want you to know; we know too! Maddy doesn't have to say thanks, we know as a stamper, it's in her heart! Love and prayers to both of you! Oh, gorgeous card - love how you used the word window punch to punch out the sentiment!

Here's MY story:
1. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! and double WOW WOW!!
2. Cindy, I know you about as much as the man on the moon, I have seen your stories.. seen Maddy's thread that you so did without any want for yourself. Out of the kindness of your heart. I want to just say you are an incredible human being. Yes there are many who do things for others, but I dont know some just do it to be showy.. I know that sounds harsh.. but with you I see you doing this just because this is you.
3. Did I happen to mention WOW ?? I am still gawking over that card!!

Oh my gosh, that is so entirely sweet and touching, it gave me goosebumps. I do miss Maddy!! I hope all goes well with her, really I pray for her.
Your card is adorable, I hope she gets her mail soon so she can share with her friend, your so kind. I love black and white always. The tags branching off are a perfect touch
