As some of you know, my Marty is a “Traffic Guy.” He has also been the light of my life for 32+ years. After putting up with me hosting Girlfriend Camp #GFC2014 this past weekend, I thought he deserved a little “appreciation.” After all, he did “get out of Dodge” all day Saturday, but was our hero Sunday morning preparing us a breakfast fit for… well…. the princesses we are! 🙂
I freakin’ love him – for so many reasons. So when I was in a crafty mood and found a card stamping challenge at Muse (Muse Challenge #77), I strangely thought this matched the challenge criteria. I used a fun stamp set from #NeatandTangled called Stop and Go, #Stampinup Yippee Skippee and Chalk Lines stamp sets, DSP, card stock and ink, and a vintage Stampinup sentiment stamp from 2002. My interpretation of the challenge card was in the design of a single object with a single sentiment and a simply framed layout.
What I really love about this card, and the pictures just don’t do justice is the “Wink of Stella” Brush I used to glitz up the traffic lights. Saw #JenniferMcGuire demonstrate it and am not sure if I like it more because it has the name “Stella” in it (my Grandma’s name) or the fun way it adds shimmer with NO glitter mess!
Anway – mailed this to Marty at work to let him know how much he rocks my world.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Sweet. Wonderful thing to send to a super guy. He will be smiling the whole day long. We have received a number of your beautiful cards and just love them all. The warmth and care you put into each and every one make those cards so much more meaningful than one that is bought plus I love the special talent, time and thoughtfulness that goes into them.
