Card Of The Day!

Sometimes you've just got to "Spread Your Wings and Fly!"

The image for this card was created from ink, paint and vintage paper. A reproduction is mounted on 80 lb recycled card stock.

You can find this card for sale in my Etsy shop with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society.

What will you do today? Will you take the initiative to make necessary changes in your life? Will you spread your wings? I'd love to hear about it.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Card Of The Day!

Fall is my favorite time of year! The temperature is just right and I love the color of the leaves. When I'm out and about I often pick up leaves and bring them home. I know that sounds crazy because there are plenty to pick up in my own driveway but I never seem to select those.

For this card I took three of those coveted leaves and scanned them. Then I added some filters in Photoshop. You can find this card for sale in my Etsy shop.

Card Of The Day!

I didn't start making Ovarian Cancer Awareness cards until a few years ago. A survivor contacted me and asked me "Why does everyone create beautiful cards for Breast Cancer Awareness but never for Ovarian Cancer. Why don't you or anyone else create cards for Ovarian Cancer Awareness?"

I had never thought of it before. My life has been touched by Breast Cancer but not Ovarian Cancer so it never really occurred to me that I should create cards promoting Ovarian Cancer Awareness. She asked me to design cards and this is one of the cards I came up with. I ended up selling about 300 cards to a survivors group that she was a member of.

It's Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month so I'm asking all the women out there to please do all that you can to make yourself and those you care about aware of the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.

You can find this card for sale in my Etsy shop with a portion of the proceeds being donated to support cancer awareness.

Card Of The Day

This is one of the cards I designed for an Ovarian Cancer Survivor. Ovarian Cancer is considered a silent killer of women because it is usually hard to detect in the early stages. In the US alone at least 22,000 women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer each year, of that 15,000 do not survive. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, please do all that you can to bring awareness to this disease. The cards are not yet available on our website but we do have some on eBay and Cafepress.
