Take a Bow

My dear friend Anna Seniw owns a rubber stamping store called The Creative Corner in Glen Spey NY and she happily celebrated her 10^th year anniversary a few months ago.  So I had some fun putting together the following for the occasion . . .

I love to make boxes, especially ones with acetate-backed die cut openings in the lids so you can see what's inside.  Visible are the card with its matching gift card holder . . .

The sentiment "Take a Bow" does not refer to the bows I've used for embellishments but rather one's response to kudos after accomplishing something truly significant – such as Anna has done with her well-run store during these exceedingly difficult, economically-challenged years.  She has been amazing with her excellent customer service, wide-ranging product line, and wonderful classes taught not only by herself, but also by several luminaries in the stamping world.  May her success only increase over the coming years!
