I hope your Birthday is a SMASH

Greetings Friends,

I made this card about a month ago.  I just didn't have a chance to get it on the blog.  I got the idea for this card when I was shopping at Hobby Lobby.  I was looking through the party isle looking for ideas for my son's birthday party.   They had a whole section for a Fiesta.  He is a little young to appreciate the hat, but I thought it was cute.   It turned out to be great inspiration for a card!

I've Got Your Back

Howdy,

Thanks for stopping by today.    I have an encouragement card to share with you today.  I know that we don't often think to make or send them encouragement cards.   However, as I move into this phase of my life.  I see my friends struggle with all sorts of issues.  Some with divorce,  health issues, parenting issues, work issues...etc.   Life is full of stress.  We live in a age where it is easy to write on their wall, send an email, or a text message.  I think it is nice to send encouragement cards.  They can set the card on their desk or mantel and it serves as a constant reminder that they are not alone.  It last so much longer than a text message.    I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it.  I hope it brightens someone's day.

Thinking of Tulips

Happy May 1st!

What is it they say?  April Showers Bring May Flowers.  Well BRING ON THE FLOWERS!!  We certainly had a our share of rain last month.  I'm ready to see some Flowers.  To help encourage the process. I have this fun tulip card to share.

When the card is closed it folds flat, but when you open it up to a accordion.
