Marg (Margscardcrazy) is the Featured Stamper for this week, and she so deserves this recognition! She has a wonderful gallery, and I consider it a privilege to honor her through casing one of her beautiful cards.
As I was strolling through her gallery, I saw this card:
As soon as I saw the card, it spoke to my heart so I selected it for my CASE in honor of her.
In her description of her card, she shared that she created it for a challenge “to make a card with something missing. To let those who have had a mastectomy or double mastectomy know that they are still a whole person...". Well, I'm one of those ladies. For the "something missing" challenge, she cut off a section of the card's front.
My card style is the same as hers. However, I made these changes:
1. I folded over the center piece cut from the card front to the back to make a quasi-easel card.
2. I selected a different color of card stock for the base.
3. I decorated the card differently but it was created with the same concept (see her card).
If interested, further photos to show the easel section of the card and more details can be found at

Oh my, Bev, if you knew how many times I've had this card up and gotten distracted - ha! Anyway, I absolutely love this card and am so touched by your words and how you have been touched personally by this card. You are so dear and such an example of how your life shines for the Lord. I love how you've CASE'd dear Marg's card and love the beautiful quote by Helen Keller. And I love the ODBD dies you've used. I've been wanting these and finally broke down and used the $5 Labor Day savings to get the bundle. I love this card and have pinned and fav'd it. Hugs, precious friend! You are a joy! xoxo

Wow, I've never seen a design like this, with the acetate section in the center! Beautiful design! Love the quote with the pink ribbon and the border die strips look amazing!
