Pansy Tea Cup

On a personal level, I have been partial to pretty little tea cups and coffee cups since my childhood. I do collect them, not in the sense that I go out looking for them, but by inheritance from all the women before me on both my side and my husband's side, I have a HUGE collection that I have displayed in numerous china cabinets. I often think it may be time to pack them away and update my decor, but I just can't! I truly love them - so they stay put!!! The lovely card Esther is sharing today is so reminiscent of the cups I love so much!

Our Storewide Spring Sale is in its final days, running through Saturday, 4/18. Get 15% OFF your entire order when using the code provided. Details at the end of this post.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Today's lovely card comes from Deb Felts. It's a simple to make card meant to send encouraging  and uplifting words to the recipient.

This is beautiful viewed as either feminine (with the bow) or masculine (without the bow).

A Card of Congratulations

Karen Letchworth is with us today sharing this lovely card of congratulations. I'm not sure of the occasion she made it for, but it would work so well for a graduation card, or a retirement card, or any number of other congratulatory events in life. The set she used is so fun to play with and coloring up the books to look either feminine or masculine gives you so many options!

Birthday Poppies

Good morning! I love when a card just kind of jumps out at you, and the birthday card that Esther Asbury is sharing today does just that. And in this case, it's the colors that do it, that cause that 'jump'. Crisp and classic blue and white - a color scheme that is always a winner in my book. This card is so pretty, using one floral image to create both the background and the focal image, paired with a simple sentiment.

And note that we are currently running our Spring Storewide Sale giving you 15% OFF your entire purchase, so it's a GREAT time to shop. Be sure to read all the details at the end of this post.

Every inch of this card is filled with beauty, yet it remains so serene and calming.

Pretty Poppies (floral, background and focal)
