Thank You

Today's card is another inspired by the new Hero Arts Catalog. The leaf branch is from Hero (discontinued, I think), and the sentiment is from Papertrey's Paper Tray--a very useful and versatile set.



Today, I am very thankful that my hit count has now exceeded 60,000. So this card is for all of you who made this possible. Thank you for inspiring me to keep going!

Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts, Papertrey
ink: Palette Noir, SU celery
cardstock: SU celery, PTI white
accessories: none

    image and sentiment as well as the
    colored card stock showing only on
    top and bottom. Thanks for all
    the inspiration that you provide.

  4. The sentiment font is so perfect with the color lines and the contrasting frilliness of the leaves, I'm sure I will use this layout for sets of cards using my way-too-many sentiment stamps that are this font.

    Thanks for inspiration, Susan.

    It's very fun to watch your number of hits grow, by the way!

  19. HI Susan. I read your blog daily thru Google reader. Do you know if that adds to your hit counter? Did a quick Google search, but didn't find an answer. So maybe you have even more readers than you know about. Thanks for such great CAS cards!

  20. Jennifer,

    Interesting question. The way I understand SiteMeter, they only track actual views of the web site itself, not feed hits. You get the feed from Google in your reader. Hits like yours DO show up on my Feed Stats. Simplicity gets close to 200 feed hits a day and between 300-400 visits to the actual web site.

    No matter what, I NEVER imagined I'd have the number of subscribers, followers, and hits that I have. It all makes me giggle with glee and feel deeply appreciative that so many people find Simplicity inspiring. It also makes me want to keep posting and keep encouraging people to see "clean and simple" as a legitimate style just as worthy of respect as any other.

    Thanks for your encouragement!
    Susan

  25. Congrats on 60,000 blog hits! Wow, I cannot imagine so many. I just started my blog and I think I have 50 or so, lol. I'm really happy for you! :)

    By the way your card is awesome! The branch is swaying in such a humble way, almost like it's bowing down in gratitude. Your cards have so much feeling in them.
