Blooming Flower Box and Birthday Cards

Gotta stay home, gotta stay busy! Card making is one of the ways I'm doing this.  Perhaps you'll be inspired to create some of your own.

A Smile Can Lift Your Spirits

Hi there! If you're reading this today I hope these pictures help to lift your spirits.  It's a tough time for our world right now. During this pandemic we need to do our best to stay positive and do our part to keep each other safe and healthy.  Sadly that means some isolation for most of us.  Not an easy thing to do.  The big thing our leaders are telling us right now is to stay home as much as possible only heading to the grocery store or pharmacy for essentials as needed!  

As you're reading this I hope and pray for your health and safety at this time.  I hope you are able to get outside for a walk in your neighborhood or the very least around your yard.  Fresh air and being in nature is so good for our souls and bodies.  Too much sitting can wreck havoc on us.  

As I love to create and craft I dropped off some card packages for a friend yesterday and I included a sheet of cute cat stickers for her granddaughter who is almost 3 years old.  I thought I"d share this picture with you of how she so neatly used all of the cat stickers on the envelope of a note card for her great grandma and grandpa!  My friend sent me the picture yesterday! It made me laugh! So cute! Hope you like it too! Isn't it just the 'Cat's Meow'! lol

 Here is another picture of this overly large, beautiful hanging 

basket of flowers. I took this picture last year when we were traveling in Ireland.  The colors are so amazing!  

Sharing a couple of my favorite verses with you. 

Matthew 11:28 

Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden

and I will give you rest

Proverbs 3: 5-6 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart 

and lean not on your own understanding

In all your ways acknowledge him 

and he will direct your path

Be Blessed

Pretty Flowers and Ideas for Your Cards

Stay creative and keep yourself motivated daily! I know it can be hard right now to focus but crafting is good therapy!  Make some simple flowers that I show you here! These are fun and easy to do!  Also a cute way to share your cards, especially if you make them often and have a little stockpile of them. Hope you enjoy it! :-)

The Preferred Gift to Give and Receive

One size fits all! Gift cards are still a growing and a preferred gift to give and receive. Why are people drawn to them you say?! They offer convenience and flexibility and choice to the recipient as well as making the gift giving experience easier on the giver. Having a couple or more gift cards in your 'gift bank' so to speak can save you in a pinch. How many times have you been rushed or forgotten to grab a birthday gift or hostess gift in the past, right! It can happen to all of us. 

However you can go to a site like Zazzle and purchase and send a Zazzle gift card to your friend or family member. You get to choose the dollar amount you'd like to give and you can have it sent to their email. This is perfect and takes the guess work and stress out of trying to decide what to buy them. Let's face it these days it is pretty hard to choose a gift for someone, especially someone that seems to have one of everything.   

At Zazzle you are giving the gift of an experience where the recipient has the opportunity to fully customize the item they choose with your gift card. They can add text, a photo or even a professionally designed template on whatever product they like.  Zazzle's gift cards never expire, so you don't have to worry about the time frame around using them.  

Zazzle has items for every age from babies to adults. Gifts for all seasons. Even brands like Disney, Marvel, Coca-Cola, Sesame Street and more.  Come and have a look around to get familiar with all of the great products and designs. 

 Shine on! 

No TP What.....

Seriously well, I have to say I was surprised to go to the closest grocery store where I frequent often and find not one single roll or package of toilet paper. Only a few packages of very high priced paper towels were on the shelf!  People must really be getting nervous to be stocking up on these items. 

Well working from home is extra good when global sickness happens!  Keep washing your hands and refrain from touching your face! 

I've been working on some new designs and products the last few days so here are a few of them. The products can all be personalized or customized and many of them can be transferred to other items. Something for everyone!

Easy Simplistic Card Ideas

Simplistic cards with a little more masculine design. Using wood grain patterns and buffalo plaid scrapbook papers. A little layering and embossing makes these attractive cards to make.
