Hello - All Occasion Card

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It is over 100 degrees here again today.  I feel so bad for everyone dealing with such hot temperatures.  There are still so many fires and storm issues in the US.  I know overseas has had some bad weather too; but I don't see those every day, like I do living in US.  It is so sad.  I hope you are able to find time to craft or do something else that you love.

I am still creating cards for my sister Alice; but this one is for my friends and family.  I made her one similar; because once I finished this card, I had to keep it.  Lol!  That is a problem with creating for others; because when I see them finished, I have trouble not wanting to keep them all.  I am so in love with these digital papers and clip art.  It sure saves time with not having to color and I can create a lot of cards and never run out of paper; because it is digital.  I still have a few more patterned papers that I have not used from the set.

Thank You Card

Hello friends!  How are you?  It continues to be hot here in Southern CA.  I will be glad when it cools down.  There are fires everywhere located in several states including California; but my biggest concern is for the people who are having to evacuate due to all sorts of bad weather.  There are some states with horrible storms, tornados and floods.  Please be safe out there.  I hope you are enjoying your summer or whatever season you are in right now.

I created several cards for my sister, Alice; so she can give them to her friends and family.  She writes personalized poems of her own, to add to my cards, for people that she knows.  She is very good at writing poetry and everyone loves them.  She just doesn't have the equipment, tools, etc. to create the cards.  I also end up making double the number of cards; because I have to keep some of my favorites for my family and friends.  I normally send her 25 - 30 cards at a time.  

I sent this card to a close friend of mine.  I love how this paper just pops and these colors go so well together.  It is a lot quicker to create cards that include the gorgeous digital paper and clip art to go with them.  These are easy to print only what you want; and you never run out, because they are a digital file on your computer.  I think I created 23 cards so far; and still have not used all the designs.  Lol!  See below for the link to these two floral sets that I used.
