Seek Joy

  Seek Joy, boy is that a hard thing to do sometimes. Yet I find that if I make the effort my day goes a lot better. This card when I look at it is a good reminder. It was simple to make and I had great papers to work with from Make Time To Create. This is the Almanac Line with accessories. I used a cameo from Jolees and the punch is from EK success.
  This Saturday is the celebration of the anniversary of Make Time To Create. Dolly and Mary always make it special not only for them but for everyone. Get out and see the new products, enjoy the refreshments and do a make and take. Oh there will be SALES!!! See you there.

Song Bird

  Happy Birthday to anyone who may be having a birthday, close to a birthday or just had a birthday. Birthdays are a gift. Another day to rejoice and make an effort to look for the good in the day and the people around you. It is hard some days more than others but the word calls us to rejoice in the day the Lord has made. It is up to Him to give us the power to do it. So happy day and remember you are here for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes! You are special.

P.S. This is one of my favorite cards I have made. They have the paper at Make Time to Create, Newburgh, IN along with the ribbon, rose and rhinestones, so drop in  and encourage our hardworking gals.

Memories

  Ahhh, another Graphic 45, A Ladies Diary card.  So pretty. Women really had style back then. I look at this paper and it makes me want to go back and experience this time period. Again this card was quick to make and looks elegant. It has 4 different sheets out of this pad of paper. I made it in ten minutes. There are so many nice paper selections at Make Time To Create, I'm sure they have your style. They also have many classes going on this month. Check the calendar. See you soon.

Happiness Always

 The title certainly describes the Graphic 45 tablet, A Ladies Diary. I love, love, love all the paper in this pad. It is so versatile. You can make masculine cards and very ladylike cards. It reminds me of a total different era, but in a warm way. They had such style and in turn your cards are stylish when you use any of this paper. I also put a strip of the paper on the flap of the envelope, as you can see above, to coordinate with the card.  I have several more cards to show you in the next few days so come back and see them. I hope this inspires you to drop by Make Time To Create and pick up a few sheets of this paper and make a fabulous card.
