....and I'm sure you love your too! But, do you ever send them a card --- totally out of the blue? One to say Hello, how are you or a simple Friendship card? When they are down or feeling sad, do you send cards to cheer them up, to say you love them? That's something I really do try and do and since I now make all my own cards, it's extra special to send them out and to say how much I care!
Plus, as you probably know, I also love to play in online challenges and to take new classes, both online and at my LSS, and that has me with even more cards, so sending cards to make someone smile is really a joy for me and I also LOVE it when I receive one of those fun cards in the mails! They really can make you day!
If you love this idea too, then our newest challenge over at the a2z Scrapbooking blog, is going to be perfect for you! Our theme in "Encouragement" and all those types of cards are pretty much what I have been talking about today! Kind Cards, Caring Cards, Thank You cards and so many more can easily fit into this category. And it's NOT all about cards either...there are so many wonderful paper-crafts that can easily also fall into this category!
Today, I have a sneak peek of another of these fun cards and I also incorporated it in with the fabulous Stretch Your Stamps 2 class that I'm taking too! Today will be Day 8 and we'll be working again with those fun and cool and very trendy - Graphic Stamps! And you too can even make a card for class and create it so that it also qualifies for the challenge!
To see my entire card, and all the card ingredients you'll find ALL the details over on the a2z Blog and you can go as well for more inspiration too. And then when you are ready to add your project, all you need to do is link to the challenge from the blog side bar! Or you can click HERE to go directly to the challenge post, scroll down towards the bottom of post and look for the Inlinkz little Blue Froggy!!
I'm now heading back to class and may be back this afternoon with some more updates! Hope to see you in class and/or over at our Challenge! Thanks for stopping by and Good Luck to all those who enter!!

A Little About Me
- ThePurplePlace
- Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
- Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
