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!

Wow Cindy this is an amazing card. Maddy is very lucky to have you as a friend. Thanks for the updates and reaching out and touching so many lives in the process. I see that you do have a real tender caring side when not meddling with stampers husbands or digging up dirt. *smiles and hugs my friend!*

First, I am so happy Maddy has been chosen as the featured stamper. Second, that she has 2 really great friends, a new one close by. Third, you made such a beautiful tribute Cindy, this card is gorgeous...and I do see that ghost flower!!! Love the idea of covering with fabric, that's not one I'd thought of before!

Cool card, Cindy! Love all the fabric and your use of the friend sentiment from Polka-dot Posies. What a thoughtful idea to make this as a thank-you card for Maddy to give to her newfound friend.

There is a book Q is for Duck. (Why? because they quack.) I think T is for Cindy. Why? Because she is so thoughtful! Striking card which Maddy will enjoy receiving as well as giving.

This card is beautiful Cindy, but not as beautiful as you are...I don't think that is possible. You have been a special friend to Maddy and to all of us. We are all very lucky. Thank you for keeping us updated on Maddy. Much love and hugs to you.
