End The Hate

Hi Everyone,

I don't know about you, but I am deeply disturbed about the events of the last several month. Starting with COVID19, that devastated the lives of so many people and disproportionately the lives of minorities, black and brown. It also disproportionately affected and affects the poor, since we are far from having overcome this disease. On top of that we experience senseless violence and police brutality against the black community. I feel drained and at the same time glued to the news. This country has been going the wrong way the last few years, sewing hate, dividing people, increasing income inequality and encouraging blatant racism. This needs to end. Change can't come soon enough! 


So out of my despair I created this card with iStencils (stripes, Statue of Liberty) and stamps by Ryn Tanaka (tear drops). Alphabet dies by Papertry. I think it needs no other explanation.


I hope for this country to heal and get better. I hope for justice.
If you disagree with my views feel free to unfollow. 

END THE HATE!

You nailed just how I was feeling. This administration has made the divide so much worse. Black & bron v. white, rich v. poor. I feel sad all the time.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
