Hope is Critical
I believe that hope is a necessity for life. There are certainly lots of other critical things, but I think that hope especially can give us strength in trying times. I'm mailing out cards to folks from our church to give them a surprise pick-me-up, and I'll be...
Flowers for a Friend
When I look outside and see how things have greened up and flowers are starting to appear, I feel a little bit better about my day. We are living in a very weird time right now, but it's good to take a breath, look at some pretty nature, and think about those people...
Virtual Weddings
I keep saying it, and it's still true... we are in unprecedented times. Almost all of us have not seen days like these in our lifetimes. There are so many things that are being impacted and changing due to various "stay home, stay safe" orders across the country. One...
Cabin Fever!
I'm kinda chuffed at how this card turned out! If you look through the Stampin' Up! catalog you won't see the sentiment that you see here. It's part of a digital download that I'll describe later. I'm starting to get a little stir-crazy and really missing seeing...
Thanks Again!
This card may look simple, but I definitely spent some time creating it. The first element that took time was the background. Yep, I created that! I cut a piece of copy paper in a rectangle and then put retired adhesive sheet over the top. Then I laid down some varied...
Brightening Days
I've been sending cards to people to hopefully brighten their day. This is something that I've done during Lent for several years now. This year, I'm continuing to send cards after Easter to share some card love with people while we are staying home en masse. I made a...
Rococo Rose Wishes
This card really would do for almost any occasion. The sentiment is generic enough that it could be for a birthday celebration, a big milestone like graduation or a new job, or even retirement. Or, it could just be a simple way of wishing someone well in the most...
Grateful Days
I know that my post name may seem a little weird given our current global situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are just so many dark, scary things in the news every day and we are not allowed (for very good reason) to do the one thing that we normally would...
Easter Wishes for 2020
This year I decided to create Easter cards to send to our church staff members. I have sent them Christmas cards for years, and they always receive a 'just because' card during Lent, but I decided this year that I wanted to also send an Easter card. This holiday is...
Ornate Garden
It is a really dreary day out there as I'm writing this post. It's damp, chilly, overcast, and generally miserable. Which seems to fit our current circumstances as we are having to maintain distances from each other and things are just plain scary. It is crucial to...
