Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Linda Jachimstal

 My spotlight stamper this week is Linda Jachimstal, Linda sent me 38 Veteran Thank You cards to add to the Veteran Thank You Honor Flight Cards that I am sponsoring. Her cards are just lovely and show just how much she cares about our Veterans.

Here is the highlight of her cards:




They turned out just great and I am so honored that she made them and then sent them to me. The cards have been added to my collection of cards and we now have 502 cards! If you would like to get in on the fun, you have until June 1st deadline.

Veteran Thank You Cards Guidelines:

  • Red/White Blue colors (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink)
  • White piece of paper on the inside (for messages that they will write), We don't write the messages.
  • Does not have to be all Stampin' Up!
  • Clean & simple is great!
  • No Envelopes
Contact me for my address if you have to send the cards to me, if you are local we can make arrangements to meet up. Thanks so much~!

Take care, have a great week.
Cindy
