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!

I am amazed at so very many things, and just so filled with gratitude, I hardly know where to begin. Tops on my list has to be what you have done for me, never even having met me in person, nor with any early liklihood, living such a distance apart. You have sustained me throughout the most horrific ordeal of my life, and created a following that just leaves me speechless. (Me, speechless? LOL!) As others keep saying over and over, your heart seems to be bottomless, as you take on challenges with never a thought for a return investment for your kindness.
For nearly 5 months, you stayed with me, writing, creating, calling, running threads and tributes, etc. and during all that time I didn't have the strength to even get onto SCS, much less create anything or even leave a comment of my own. And yet there you were, always, never faltering for a moment.
I am honored beyond belief to have been chosen as the Featured Stamper, and I have to think (with a sly grin) that you had a heavy hand in that decision! The cards people have made for me are fantastic, and, of course, this one is no exception. When you were born, the mold was broken. There is simply no other person who can match your talent and depth of heart.
There is just no way I could ever thank you enough, my dear, special friend!
