The new Sizzix Framelits are so neat!  We created this card using 3 of the largest Framelits.  The largest one is just shy of a normal sized card, so they fit in the envelope really well.  It was really fun to keep the card hinged by not cutting that side of the card.  Cool, cool!

Unexpected Email

I received the COOLEST email this morning.  At first though, I almost deleted it because it wasn't from someone I knew... But fate interfered and instead of deleting it, it opened up on accident.  So, since it was already open, I read through it and it just made my day!  I am SO glad it didn't get deleted!

This is what it said:

------------------------------------------
Sarah,


I wanted to thank you for your beautiful stamped card that you made for the troops.  I am the recipient of one and was happy to have your email to thank you. I especially like cards and writing my loved ones back
home.  I stamp when I am at home too.  People like you brighten our days out here.  Thank you and those like you!


God Bless,

------------------------------------------

What an amazing way to start my day!  I'm so flattered that she took the time to let me know she received one of my cards!  This is the type of thing that inspires me to continue what I do!  Amazing!

Loads of Valentine's

You've heard me say it before, and it's just the same now as it was when I first got this set:  I LOVE LOADS OF LOVE!  It's the very first stamp set I purchased when I put in my first order with Jamie Albanese (my upline) and it's just a great today as it was about 6 years ago!  Not to mention this set has stood the test of time and made it through many catalogs!  I'll be sad when it retires someday in the future, but it will be a set I will NEVER let go of!  Here's just ANOTHER idea with this FABULOUS stamp set!
