Greetings!

       

Between Snow Showers by Martin Truefitt Baker

         My mum always said that what she enjoyed more than anything, 

         on her birthday, at Christmas or on Mothering Sunday, was a lovely card. 

         Thus, I always tried to carefully select a card that was ‘special‘ in some way.

          It might be the theme... or the design ...or the colours... or the words 

          or the lettering...so much to consider!

        

          I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with greetings cards! I love giving

          cards and I love receiving cards; sometimes I even buy a card or two

          and leave them on the dresser because they are so beautiful, so inspiring

          and so cheering. At present, these cards ( and a few more) 

          take pride of place on my dresser.

  

    These are the work of artist Emily Sutton...someone who ooozes talent.

    She has designed for a number of companies and her creations are delightful.

Emily just happens to be the partner of another of my very favourite

with all of those creative juices flowing!
