Cards are us!

We usually make cards for others to show them we care.

Is is also a way to express our artistic abilities and emotional mindset
 because these two mingle well.

Each of us has a different lifestyle, interests and obligations.
With our cards we often are reaching out to bridge the differences
and highlighting the sameness.

"Vive la difference" (Hurrah for diversity) would say my French forebears.

By sharing our accomplishments or learning new skills from others we can move ahead faster.

Thank you, all wonderful card makers, I love what you are doing!
