I Lava You – Crazy, Mixed-Up Love

Love

I'm crazy about the Crazy, Mixed-Up Love stamp set!  It is perfect for use on Valentine's Day too!  Did you know that a simple handmade card lifts up the human spirit better than spoken words or emails?  I know this from my own personal experience.

But did you also know that "handmade cards are generally cheaper to make or purchase than store bought cards?" (M.J. Meeker/view full article here).  Which of course… that's where I can show you how.  Read more

As you go about your day today think about who can use a pick me up with a handmade card.  Trust me skill is NOT necessary.  I am always amazed at how people think you need some kind of mad paper talent to do this.

You learn as you go and start off small.  Me, I use oodles of card/sketch challenges like the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge… I'm always afraid of 'color challenges', but how else am I going to learn?

  4. When Isaac was born, Megan and Becky went to see the new baby in NJ. Megan fell in love with Miss Betty’s lava lamp while she was there. So for her next birthday I got her a lava lamp. I wonder if she still has it? I’ll have to check when I go there in a couple of weeks. The card is cute!
