The love of cards!

I just love making cards, they are a quick and gratifying.

I love that it only takes a short while and I feel like I have released some of my creativity,

plus the best part is it will bless someone!

When I give cards I want that person to feel like they are special to me.

I have been making journal pages and that is very rewarding but

I don't always have the time that it takes.

Card stock: Rich Razzelberry, whisper white, Floral District

Family Time!

We had a wonderful visit with Dad and his new wife Cathie, she is a beautiful woman of God!!  Enjoyed ever moment of our visit but I have to say I was a little happy this morning when I knew I could stamp again!  You know your addicted when....!  Actually I think I have a bit of Adrenal Fatigue, just from the high stress in recent months!  One of the things that they suggest for treatment / healing, is doing something every day that makes you happy!  Well that made me happy because making cards makes me very happy and I like to do at least one a day!!  Scarpbooking is also very rewarding but it requires a bit more energy and commitment, than making a card.

 

This card was fun, I started it and thought, what am I doing, it is so ugly but I kept adding stuff and it turned out good, it should make a friend happy on her birthday!!!

Island Indigo

 

 

So Much to be thankful for today!!!  For one the Sun is out, and spring will be right around the corner!

For this card I want to highlight the background card stock, Island Indigo, it is one of the, 2011-2013 in color's.  I don't know why I have never used it before now but now that I am I love it!!  So far I just have the card stock, so I will have to order the ink before June.  Saying that, brings me to, how I stamped the background without the Island Indigo ink.  Well I used my favorite ink, Versa Mark!

 

 

Not only can you emboss with Versa Mark but it leaves a watermark on any colored card stock.
