A Thank You Each Day 🍎

Do you say “I’m sorry” too much? Women are the worst at apologizing, even when we haven’t done anything wrong!

I’m working on replacing “Sorry” with “Thank You” and had the opportunity to practice on Sunday when my husband was waiting for to go to church while I finished handouts for my primary class. When I was done (we weren’t late), I said “Thank You for your patience!” instead of ”Sorry to make you wait” and he was more gracious about the wait.

Of course, an apology when I HAVE done something wrong is appropriate, but when I can use THANK YOU instead, it feels more validating for both parties: “Thank you for listening” rather than “I’m sorry I’ve been talking so much”!

My card today is one I can use when someone has sacrificed their time to help me (and I have a friend in mind)…so instead of saying “Sorry I took your time” I can express my appreciation for their assistance!

It’s also a #multicrafting project: I used the Global Design Project sketch #gdp366 , the Apple Harvest stamp set to participate in the Stampin’ Through the Catalog challenge on Instagram and the colors Soft Sea Foam and Cherry Cobbler so I could share it for a Red & Green creative challenge I gave my Sprinkled Ink team.

Simple Sorry

Whether it’s an illness or a loss, there is no better time to share a piece of your heart than when someone is sorrowing. This simple design is perfect for expressing that concern:

sorry

Stamping on the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper gives a flat card such rich dimension, it’s simply beautiful!

Download the instruction sheet HERE and then order the supplies from my STAMPIN’ STORE to create a few to send as needed.

Husband Survival Kit

While I could list off a few excuses for being away for over a week, I think we’ll just skip them and go straight to showing a few samples of things I created for the Boutique last weekend 🙂

One of the kits I made was this one:

Every man I showed it to asked if I had one with ALL “I’m Sorry” cards (LOL) So I’ll share that one:

I just discovered that the Occasions Alphabet stamp set fits perfectly into the Four Frames set, which coordinates with the Decorative label punch (120907)! Well, duh…that makes easy cards when paired with some Designer Series Paper!

I am going to miss the Simply Scrappin’ Kits when they retire at the end of the month because while they are perfect for creating amazing scrapbook pages, they also make fun cards. The birthday card above was created with pieces of the Razzleberry Splash kit (126930).

Obviously there are 5 cards in each kit, but that’s all I have time to share today. I have extra kits left over and will get them listed on my FOR SALE page later, and next week I’ll be sharing a video on how to make the box, so come back soon!
