It was heartwarming to read all the responses to my Lost Art of the Written Word post and it seems we’re all of the same mind. We’re card makers, memory makers, legacy keepers who uphold the love of the written word one card or scrapbook page at a time. Carry on sweet souls, carry on! If no one else to carry the torch and bring the tradition into the future, then we must :-) I have to acknowledge that we are blessed too by technology. I’m so lucky to have a chat group with my kids and it puts me in touch with them much more that I ever was with my parents – we chat every day. I’ve realized that everything can exist with balance and only hope that on our watch many of our traditions are sustained. Well, that’s why we do what we do!
In the meantime I dug back into the archives for one of my older cards that some of my newer readers have not seen – the recipe of items used can be found HERE.
I promised you a winner and we have one! I used Random.org to pick a number from the 217 comments and it picked number 114 that corresponds with this comment, belonging to Sandy Hoy. Sandy, please reach out to me through my contact page and lets figure out what card you want to receive :-).
Thanks so much for stopping by. I have more to share this week, I’ll see you soon!!
Such a beauty here can definitely be seen more than once, and it really is amazing and soo sooo beautiful. I absolutely love the romance and elegance in this card, and it´s sooo stylish too.
Congrats to Sandy being the lucky one, you´ll get a really hard time chosing among soo many beautiful creations ha ha ha.
Have a great week everyone and lots of fun and joy I hope, and enjoy your summer out there.

Lovely card Becca

You can dig into your archives any time. I should just make a “Becca” file on the computer. Such talent God has blessed you with. And Becca, I know you don’t often share what is going on in your life, but when you do, you are letting us share the happiness or grief. You keep it real and then I don’t think that you are some “Wonder Woman” and why can’t I be more like you.
I cannot believe that it is already 3 1/2 yrs. since your husband’s passing. He is watching from above, proud as heck to how you have carried on and where you are now.

Becca,
Gorgeous card, even if it was “dug up.” The lace makes it look so dainty and delicate, and the bow adds the perfect touch. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Way to go Sandy.
Congratulations to Sandy on being the winner.
I like what you dug up. Have a good day.
Loved reading Sandy’s comment. Wow! She is amazing!! So glad you picked her!
Thank you for the congratulations, ladies! I don’t know what I would have done without the “gift” of working with my hands and heart to keep the long hours moving along while Ken was out to sea. We raised two beautiful children together – he was worth the wait!!!
Many blessings to all of you!
Congratulations, Sandy.
Oh, Becca, the card is so very beautiful! Always a blessing to check-in and view your wonderful cards. Yes, we are blessed by technology, as we are able to visit beautiful sites, like yours, and receive inspiration and joy. Have a wonderful day, Becca! Congrats to Sandy!
This would make a lovely wedding card. Beautiful as always Becca.
Congrats to the winner!
Well Done! Thank you for sharing your incredible creations that, in turn, inspire us!
Good morning Becca,
Oh how i love this sweet little card with the lace and ribbon, the little flowers on the window sill, the little sprigs of pearls coming out to surprise us, it is just so pretty a wee card.
Well done Sandy, i hope that you enjoy your win.
Thank you Becca,
Love and crafty hugs
