Today is World Card Making Day. It is a celebration for all of us who love to make cards whether we use rubber stamps, stickers, paper, ribbon, fabric, flowers, buttons, brads, punches. You get the picture.
I am here to tell you that before making our card making stickers, I really had not made too many cards. Now I can't stop. It's such fun and so satisfying. Even if I'm not as good as our Design Team members (and they are the BEST) I can still use their cards for inspiration and I must say that I am often very pleased with my card creations.
It starts as being something relaxing and fun to do and then it turns into an artistic expression. And then when you give your hand made card to another person it becomes a gift and a joy to them. Everyone loves to receive a hand made card. I can't bring myself to throw away the hand made cards that are sent to me. I know that they are made with so much love. I tuck them in a drawer and every so often I bring them out and look at them. And they make me feel happy.
I have started a new thing with my granddaughter Sylvie. I have started to write her letters on hand made cards. We love making cards together and she so loves to receive one of my cards in the mail with a little note remembering something that we did together. Technology is great but sometimes the old fashioned way works best.
So make a card today and pop one in the mail to someone special. It's a beautiful thing! And by the way all of the cards used on this blog are by card maker extraordinaire Jenyfur Pohl. She lights up my life everyday with her talent and her sweetness. And did I mention that today, World Cardmaking Day, is her birthday? How perfect is that? Card maker extraordinaire celebrates her birthday making cards which is her passion.
Life is sweet!
