"SOMETHING"

I trust that everyone is having a phenomenal week!  Here are two cards that I am sending out today. I am sending the pink card to encourage a friend in nursing school. I do not yet have a recipient in mind for the flower card. More on this later below.


My intent is to spread the gift of encouragement with others. I hope also to remind others that we are all gifted with "something". The purpose of that "something" is to positively impact the world.  My goal (at least for now) is to impact those within my realm of acquaintance. So that means YOU! 


I would love to send you a handmade card. Or perhaps, you may know of someone who could use a word of encouragement. Please contact me and let me know. 

Many thanks to AI, the recipient of the pink card, for sending me her contact details! AI - I send you encouragement, prayers and lots of all-niter mojo. May God finish the good work He has begun in you and lead you to a rich and fulfilling career in nursing.


Remember, each of us has "something" and can do "something". Until next time, family.

Blessings and bliss,

Mrs. Nicks

Who can you bless today?

Here are two cards that I am sending out this week. I am experimenting with the PaperTrey Ink (PTI) line and I am enjoying myself! The first card includes a patterned paper compatible with the PTI cardstocks and inks. The second card includes a background paper created on their white cardstock with their stamps. I used Verve stamps for the sentiments and I also played with Spellbinders Dies for the circular die cuts and scalloped mats.

Other paper/ink lines that I am interested in include Stampin' Up and Gina K. Designs. For right now, though, I am enjoying PTI. For about $100 I got enough material to get started. This included white 120-lb weight cardstock, colored cardstock, patterned paper, compatible inks and 2-stamp sets. So far, here is my review of the PTI line:

PROs:

• Affordability
• Coordinating Color System - cardstock, patterned paper, inks, ribbons, buttons all match and work together seamlessly
• High-quality white cardstock (for card bases)
• Good-quality stamped images
• Fast shipping
• Accompanying dies for stamps
• Rewards point system for purchases
  

CONs:

• Oddly shaped ink pads
• Slightly difficult to navigate website

The first card is going to someone experiencing the first anniversary of his dear wife's passing. The second card goes to close family friends who are always so loving and supportive. We used to live in the same town as them and we miss them dearly :-(.


May God's blessings of hope and love accompany the sentiments of each card.


Who can you bless today with your gifts?
