Happy Times Thank You for Addicted to Stamps and More

I am really loving the Happy Times paper and stamp set available from Close to My Heart (while supplies last) in May!  Here is a really quick card I made (inspired by Jean McNulty's card here.)

Bunch of Love Sympathy Cards for Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome back to the April Joyful Stars Blog Hop!  We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST.  If you are coming from Joyce's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is also on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.)  Have fun being inspired!

Recently I needed to make more sympathy cards so I took out the new "A Bunch of Love" stamp set and coordinating Thin Cuts from the Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog.  I curved the word "Condolences" from the Sincere Expressions stamp set on an acrylic block so it would nearly fit into the banner.
