L.Y.A. Side Swap And A Template

LYA Side Swap #5, Steamboat Springs CO, Sonya Versluys

This beautiful card from Sonya Versluys came just as Denver is dealing with a blizzard. I have family in that area, and lived in Denver before moving to San Diego. I grew up in Loveland, Co., and I have visited lovely Steamboat Springs. Connections are always part of what is interesting about the postcard swap. Sonya included this inspirational verse:

Your creative voice is stronger, louder,
and more powerful than any other.
Use it!

I think I need to post that above my desk for a daily reminder. You can find Sonya at www.sonyaversluys.com and on Instagram. Visit her gorgeous blog to see more of her beautiful photos! Take a look at her 365 Days of Joy video!

How I Make My Postcards

Several of you have asked how I make my postcards. I shared a samples a few weeks ago. Now I have a PDF with step by step instructions for you. Feel free to print it, and to share it. If you get lost along the way, just email me, and I will gladly help! It is so much easier to order printed cards. I enjoy making the cards, handmade feels like I am giving a gift.

Duck, Duck, Swim

The ducks are still daily visitors. They have been napping mostly. Caught them as they were jumping in the pool. Time too cool off!
