Since I waited until the very last minute to make cards last month, I didn't have a chance to take pictures of any of my cards in April. :( Here is one quick one I made for an early May birthday.
I don't have many birthdays coming up, so I just need to make Mother's Day cards to get in the mail Monday and a couple thank yous for my daughter to send for birthday gifts she got last week.
Not able to mail any cards due to lockdown so I have had to take photos of the cards and send those to people over this period. Here is another 'virtual' card made for May. A welcome cat by must love cats - at Splitcoaststampers

This is card is to replace an April birthday for a female friend.
With all the restrictions on our lives, we were unable to get together for our annual birthday luncheon, so I thought I'd send a belated cheerful, encouraging card instead!
This is a card to replace a female friend's early March birthday that slipped right by as my cardmaking MOJO was totally gone with the bombardment of COVID-19 information and requirements in Washington state. To put this in perspective...Washington state was ground zero for the first COVID-19 case in the United States!
My friend works as an office manager at an elementary school, and I thought she might enjoy this card, which I think is perfect for her.
Still playing gallery upload and challenge catch up with Christmas cards. Always needing 6 or so a month to be ready for Christmas mailings! Here is my card: I Love Me a Christmas Tree!

I just got my SU pre-order from the Holiday catalog (I know it's not called that anymore, but that's what I'm going to continue to call it), so I need to start working on Christmas cards and Christmas TY cards. Last year, work got really busy in October/November and I ended not sending any - don't want that to happen this year! Probably should start with figuring out how many I need make.

Reason: Fix link
I need several birthday cards for August (5- Feminine, 4- Masculine) as well as Anniversary (already most of these in late June) and unfortunately, Sympathy (at this time, at least five):
I have a bunch of cards to upload, but it such a time consuming process (especially trying to come up with a name for each of them)! Here is one that my kids will be delivering to their golf coach in person tomorrow: Golf thank you card
Starting to plan ahead...I went through my calendar and this is what I need (at a minimum) for the rest of the year: August - 2 female birthday September - 5 female, 1 male, 1 kid birthday October - 2 female, 1 male birthday November - 1 female, 1 male birthday December - 60? Christmas cards, 10 Christmas thank yous
Nichole, we understand- it does take time to photograph the cards and type up the post (trust me, I truly understand since I have over 100 different card designs to upload as well, lol!)
We are so thrilled that you have joined us and what a great way to look ahead. I am behind on my mailings- I need to work on designating a space in our small home (that we are still remodeling) to set up a "mailing" area. I want to be able to store all of my cards in this area plus the mailing scale, envelopes, etc. so I can be more efficient in mailing out the cards. I have the cards, now I have to be more motivated to mail them out!!
In the meantime, here are a few more that I have uploaded recently - most are for encouragement or birthday
I completed one of my needed Christmas cards in February for my card stash, while catching up on unfinished/kit card in my "To Do" stash and playing challenge catch-up. Here is my card: A Christmas Sing-A-Long...Simple Add Music!

Here is one of the many feminine birthday cards I will need. I plan to use this one in August for my daughter-in-law's birthday: A Little Happy Birthday!

Carlene, so thrilled to see your posts! Praying all is going as well as possible with your sister....
We have been working on our remodeling, so while I am still creating (and did mail out several cards last month), it is difficult to get them uploaded.
This card was designed for The Card Concept inspiration challenge (I am on the DT) and will be mailed in September (most likely for one of the ladies in our Bible Study for their birthday).
Here is a sympathy card that I needed for a friend of mine who recently lost her adult daughter (she had been in a nursing home for over 20 years due to an accident)...she is now at peace...
Here are a few cards that I will use for encouragement or birthday (Bible Study ladies mainly- we have a large group :-)) The one globe die cut card may be used for a male friend of ours that needs encouragement and the other globe card, I am not sure yet- may save for a graduation card or friendship....
Hi Everyone! I know that most of you are busy creating Christmas cards (or mailing them) as I know I am :-) I also broke my left wrist two months ago (both bones) during a remodeling mishap, lol, but it is on the mend. It has been a bit difficult to type, so I apologize for not being able to comment more often on your cards.
I have uploaded quite a few cards and am thankful that I was able to mail out 50+ cards for Thanksgiving (I went thru my Thanksgiving stash from the past years and mailed them out). It was a pleasure to mail them and I was able to pray for each recipient as I made out their card.
Here is another card that I uploaded recently that could be a graduation for 2021 or for the New Year
