Share Handmade Kindness

I have noticed what this world needs now is love more kindness. In an effort to get back into the blogging world, I am participating in Jennifer McGuire's Share Handmade Kindness Challenge.

A friend of mine had a stroke in September and is on the long road to recovery and rehabilitation. she was an avid card maker so I am trying to send her cards to cheer her up.

This is basically what the trees look like in my backyard.

The trees were stamped again on the inside of the card.

Home Sweet Home

Catered Crop is sponsoring a "house and home" challenge this week.

Since Spring has officially arrived, the birds are singing every morning so my 'home is for the birds' Ha Ha Ha

Masculine Sketch

This Card was chosen as the A+ Winner at "Seize the Sketch"

Lesley has designed a great sketch for the Seize the Sketch challenge this week. Welcome to the new members of the DT, all the newbies have well known names and faces in the blogosphere. Looking forward to seeing their wonderful and inspirational cards.  This card uses the lovely color palette from the ColourQ  challenge.

The stamps are from Flourishes, the stencil from MFT and the embossing folder is Stampin Up. The compass was fussy cut from the map stamp. I rotated the sketch to accommodate this masculine themed card.

The color combo:

Thank You Flowers

I am really enjoying these one layer cards. There was a time when I would cringe at the thoughts of making a card with only one layer.....but not now!! I think this type of card is a REALLY difficult challenge bit if it was easy it wouldn't be called a challenge! The Less is More challenge is to create a one layer 'Thank You' card and the One Layer Simplicity challenge for May is all about 'Flowers'. I combined the two.

I really love tulips but I wish they would last longer.
