Cards for Sports Fans!
Since we have so many guys in our family, many of them are into various sports. I thought I would share a few cards I have created for these fellas. I hope they give you inspiration for making cards for the guys in your life!
This is a favorite for any kind of sports fan!
We have a few fishing fans in our family!
Since we live in Washington, there are a lot of Seattle Seahawks football fans in our family!
We have several ‘duffers’ and a few golfers in our family, so these cards are always popular!
Thank you for stopping by my little creative space in the blogging world. Enjoy your day!

Looking Back at Older Cards!
Hello!
Once again I have been looking back at cards I have created over the years. I do this when I am not so much in the creative mood to design a card. It provides me with inspiration. I hope it does for you too!
I created these card back in 2020 and donated them to the Cards for Kindness projects sponsored by Scrapbook.com, which is one of many card donation programs.
I guess these pictures are a bit blurry as they were taken six years ago, before I purchased my new phone with a better camera. I hope you can get the idea I created.
Thanks for visiting. Enjoy your creative day!

2024 Card Design Ideas to Spark Your Creativity
Hello fellow crafters!
I thought I would share a few cards I designed in 2024. Perhaps they can give you some ideas for your own card designs!
I used scraps of pastel papers to create the flowers on this encouragement card. I was able to use up the many ‘button’ embellishments and brads I have had in my stash for years for the flower centers!
I’ve had this stamp for a few years and love it. So playful and perfect for little kids!
I cut this seagull from patterned paper and and combined it with an older sentiment. I think the embossed clouds really add to this encouragement card.
Sometimes when I run out of ideas for cards, I look at previous cards I have created to get my mojo back! Why invent the wheel when I have a whole library of cards I have designed over the years!
I hope these give you some inspiration! Thank you for stopping by for a visit!

Little Girl Cards!
Hello!
Today I thought I would share some cards I designed using an older stamp of a little girl. The stamp shows her holding a pinwheel, but I changed it to balloons and a golf flagstick!
I used older patterned paper for the background and the balloon on this cute card. I decided to accent her outfit with purple colored pencils, but her shoes and socks are layered with scraps of patterned paper.
I decided to add some playfulness to this card by having the little girl holding a golf flagstick, or pin. I love the fun sentiment, “Meet ya at the 19th Hole!” Once again, I used colored pencils to color her outfit.
I used this starburst embossed background, tinted in yellow-green to accent the balloon for this card. I also used paper scraps to layer her outfit. A great way to use up my stash of paper scraps.
When I find a certain stamp or theme to design cards, I usually make a few. Every card I create is always different in some way. Whether I just change the placement of the sentiment or the colors of the cards, I find that it helps me be more creative. I feel each card I made should be an original.
I hope these cards inspire you to use different colors, backgrounds and papers to create your cards!
Thank you for visiting my little blog!
