I really enjoyed Heather's gallery and favorited many. I have been waiting to use these two stamps together for a long time and today was the day!
I bought these two stamps because of this card: a focused thank you...O4J by One4Joy at Splitcoaststampers
I so enjoy Susan's work and miss her when she is not around.
But today is about Heather and this is her card that I chose: Bright Side by housesbuiltofcards at Splitcoaststampers
I used the 'eye glass' theme and some of her bright colors. Different stamps, only three of the eye test mechanism, and a different size card.
I have a (somewhat) morbid fascination with eye themes. I was born with bad eyes, had two surgeries as a kid, my earliest memory was the one when I was 2 and now have a cataract, not in my bad eye but in my good eye! I'm dreading the surgery (not soon) because I will be truly blind for a while. I'm sure in my early years, I had an appliance like the stamp on my face.

Jean, I love how personal this card is for you, thanks for sharing some of your story - I hope that surgery is really successful when it happens. This is my favourite type of card, bright pops of colour, against a crisp white bg, plus Mark Twain is a personal hero, love his quotes - this is fantastic!

What a wonderful sentiment and very colorful images. I hope your surgery goes well - I know a lot of people who have had it and all of the surgeries went well. Wonderful card/case! Hugz!

Wonderful card! Hope your surgery goes well. I've been wearing glasses since the age of 3 and remember having a patch for quite a while. Sight truly is a blessing!
