makes me happy

Cards make me happy.
I have a stack of them that I have saved over the years.
Cards and the givers are forever in our hearts.
The messages are personal and uplifting.
A card can change the way one might chart their dreams or beliefs.
These are vintage Flavia cards and they make me happy.
This time of year I love giving cards to brides, graduates, to teachers and those who are celebrating another revolution around the sun.
Some people deserve special cards, right!
It makes me happy.

  9. PVE,

    I love sending cards too...I don't get them but the gift is in the giving...isn't it? Love Flavia, Mary Engelbreit, Marjolein Bastin and many more who illustrate love to send.

    I use technology to capture a great photo or illustration and add it to an email and send a card also. My nephew (5 yrs) and my niece (3 yrs) were so excited to get Valentine's Day, Easter and Birthday cards in the mail. I like to share the importance of compassion through emotional connections. It makes me happy too!

  16. Good paper and messages are so important. my biggest advice is not to skimp so badly on the paper it looks not well thought out. These invites are perfect bc you can make them how you want on wt. etc.
