I have a card today for a very special person in the stamping world. I have only been buying and using Waltzingmouse stamps for a short time, but I am already very familiar with how special and kind Claire is. So, when Renee told me about a special blog hop Nerina was organizing, I knew I wanted to play along.
Claire was recently disappointed by her suppliers, causing a delay in availability of stamps for her latest release. You can read about it here. I was very impressed at Claire's honesty, and with the actions she was taking on behalf of her customers. I could really relate to her situation, having been in similar situations numerous times when I was working in the medical device business. Having to tell customers that a promised product will not be available at the expected time is never a pleasant experience, regardless of the reason, or where the fault lies.
Here is the card I made for Claire. I used some of the extra papers that Kim sent in our August 12 Kits of Christmas package.
If you would like to see all the projects for Claire, please click here. Nerina will have the link open for a month, so please feel free to link something up of your own.
Thanks for Visiting
Adorable! Love the fun little bit of lace on the top and the great colorful banners!
