ATC

I really enjoy making ATC cards.   I like playing with the inks and odd images.   I am in a swap so I get to make a few a month.   I keep forgetting to take pictures of them, but for now on I will.    To be honest, I lost my insurance for a few month and had to go on a different med.  I wasn't feeling myself.  I picked up insurance with my jon and am back on my regular med.  I am  starting to feel myself again.

 

Summer time!

  I live at the Jersey shore, some people think that sounds amazing and that we all go to the beach every day.   I've not been in about four years, and it's two min from my house.    Some locals go a lot, but most of us work second jobs etc.  My kids get to only work in summer because everything closes in winter so I become a taxi in the summer and I also work a second job.   I plan to get there one of these days.  Maybe next weekend.   ( I say that every week).

  I made a few of this style of card, it's an image I requested from Unity.   I think shes perfect and kinda looks like me. (if only my thighs didnt touch. haha) 

  Hope your taking some time to enjoy summer, it's only here for a short time.  We will all be freezing soon enough.

Thoughts

Someone once asked me the other day what I do with my cards.   I was like a mail them.   They did not really get that.    Think about how nice it would be to get a card from and aunt or a cousin just saying hello or how are you.    That's what I do.   I send to nieces, cousins and friends.  Even friends from childhood days.   I enjoy it, I like knowing that it makes people happy.    If you have not mailed a card to someone randomly try it.    There are a few people that don't thank you or respond and that can be frustrating but keep it up.

  If you have not written to to your friends and family for a while I encourage you to do so.   It's a great feeling knowing you made someones day.

Fluttering by!

   This card was a dream to make.  I absolutely love this lay out.  I found the sketch on pinterest and knew it would be perfect for this card.   This stamp set is an old one.    I wish they continued this line with these little bears but they did not.  It's a MFT stamp I believe.

   This summer is flying.  It's been super busy. I've hardly had any time to create.
