I received this amazing card and these wonderful stamps in the mail from Pat Smethers. I loved this card when I saw her use it for one of the TSC challenges and irl it is gorgeous! The big stamp has a bit of history, her and Jenny at Creative Cards etc. in Grass Valley were looking for this stamp, I came along unknowingly and liked it a lot and said "wow, cool stamp", Jenny shrieked, "oh my gosh, where did you find that we were looking all over for it". So Pat and I were going to share custody, but as it turned out, the stamp was a little too high maintenance for her, even though the card she made with it - ~Josiana and Richard~ by patsmethers at Splitcoaststampers is amazing! So it now lives at my house, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
And as if that wasn't enough she sent me my very own Stamped by Judy Kell stamp. My first ever.
Thanks you so much sister, love ya lots and you know it.

Judy, so glad you enjoyed your lil Christmas gift. I feel better that I have a few in the mail already! Thank you for 'giving' this stamp to me first- I know how badly you wanted it when you first saw it. And Jenny and I looked all over her store for that thing! I know you will make some beauties with it. Merry Christmas sweet friend. Love you, mean it- IRL! XXXOOOO
