Goodbye Waltzing Mouse Stamps

I just learnt that one of my all time favorite designer and crafty friend Claire Brennan is closing her Company - the Waltzing Mouse Stamps. It is so sad but I totally understand her decision.
In honoure of Claire and to say goodbye and thank you , super sweet Tara and Deborah are arranging one last challenge at their blog the Waltzing Mouse Fanatics Challenge. Of course I have to play along and share my love for WMS!
Claire's shop is open till the end of March but hurry if you have favorites you want to get because when they are gone, they are gone.

This card is for you Claire - I'm so grateful for Everything you did for me during the years I was on the WMS design team.

Hugs, Karin
