DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy - Challenge 87 - A Birthday Sentiment
Hi all of you fabulous crafters/creators/readers! I think it is warming up across the US. I so hope everyone is having a great Spring. We lost an hour today when we changed to Daylight Savings. I have been stuck inside; due to an ongoing migraine. Nothing seems to help it. I took most of the day off the computer on Sunday; thinking maybe it would help; but finally gave up and decided to get my post ready for Tuesday night.
You have another week to enter Digi Stamps 4 Joy - Challenge 87 - A Birthday Sentiment. That should be an easy one for everyone. I decided to use DS4J Mila Picking Lavender Coloured; which is just adorable. These are shades of pink; in case the picture appears orange. I took 300 pictures before I finally got it right on my Iphone. I didn't realize I had taken that many until I downloaded all of them. LOL! I love anything pinks/purples. I try to use other colors too; but those will always remain my favorites.
I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity Challenge - Thoughtfulness. Be sure to check it out. Lisa has a fabulous blog and a great Design Team. Their creations are so gorgeous! One of the definitions on the Internet for "Thoughtfulness" - "Having or showing heed for the well-being or happiness of others and a propensity for anticipating their needs or wishes." Isn't this one of the main reasons we create cards? We want to share our creativity and let others know we are thinking of them; whether it is a birthday, anniversary, holiday card or a Thinking Of You card. I try to create cards that either fit the person's personality or ones that I know will bring them great joy! My cards normally let me know who they are going to before I finish them; but this one I am not completely sure of yet. I think it goes to one of my granddaughters; but we will see when the time is right to give it away. I created it with a lot of love and thoughtfulness for just the right person to receive it when the time is right.
I sent my daughter and her family the Polar Bear Thinking of You Love card; my mother the blue Mother's Day card; (I didn't want to wait till Mother's Day. I believe it can be given any day of the year.) and my sister, Alice the Thinking Of You card; which they all received and loved. These cards made them feel very special; which they are very special to me. They all live in MO; so I only see them once a year. It is important that I let them know how much I love them as often as I can. I do this with phone calls and creating cards they will love.
