Hello friends,
Happy Friday to you! We hope that you are all safe and sound with the weather! We have wonderful mail to share with you today. Thank you for everything that you sent in this week.
Let’s catch up!
Vickey is helping us decorate our entryway table! Her beautiful Simply Thanksgiving Card shows how you can mix older items from your craft room with the new!
Irene sent this beautiful card made with some of our first stamp sets. She also stamped some of the prettiest tulips to create a lovely Just For You card.
Candis sent in this excellent thank you card made with Simply Thanksgiving, diecuts and our Grateful Paper Dolls. It’s a testament to the fact that all of our products mix and match beautifully!
Seeing how thoughtful and giving this group is is a beautiful thing. We are so pleased to gift Cathy’s sponsored ticket this week to Cynthia Richmond.
This week Michelle Watson in South Florida wants to pay it forward and gift a ticket to Create 10. She knows the value of the event and we love to see her generosity.
To win this week’s ticket, we want to know how does creativity impact your life? How does being with likeminded people bring you joy? Tell us about it in the blog comments.
We will announce our winner next week. If you would like to sponsor someone to attend Create 10, please contact our customer service team! We will help you pay it forward!

Such lovely expressions of gratitude today. Vickey, that die cut really sets off your Simply Thanksgiving card! The flowers & cornucopia are arranged beautifully, too. Irene, the stamping on the front of your card was so perfect, I thought it was printed!! I love the green and white. Candis, the purple bow and green leaves look amazing with the plaid paper doll. I might have to order a set of those ladies for myself! Thank you all for sharing🧡🍁🍂
Just watched Fan Mail Friday. It was a morning meditation of inspiration and joy. Whatever I do today, I hope it carries the glow of your light into the world, Anna! Thanks for being you and for all you do!
I was blessed to have my mother with me until she was 96 years old, however for the last decade of her life, she had progressively worse dementia. She needed 24 hour care to keep her safe. I found that I could make cards and other paper crafts while also supporting her needs. The creativity kept me feeling accomplished and productive even on her most challenging days. There were always small moments when I could get some little thing done on a project and eventually have something beautiful to show for my efforts. I may not have maintained my sanity without this creative outlet. It was a life saver for both my mother and me. Create 10 would be such a wonderful way to get connected with others who share the same joy in creativity after the social isolation of being a 24 hour caregiver.
I understand the desire and comfort we receive when we are around like-minded folks however, in today’s divided world I find it a challenge and a blessing to be able to reach out to others with a loving gesture (a handmade card). We all need encouragement these days so, I feel we should perhaps look around us and reach out to people who may not be exactly like ourselves. Share the love with all.
