      Isn't that the truth! I have always been drawn to clean and simple cards, particularly watercolor. Somewhere along the way I got caught up with all the extra crafty supplies, but have for almost a year now been systematically getting rid of the excess. It is so liberating to just sit with paper and paint and as you put it "make something pretty".

    I used to make my own cards. Elaborate computer generated art on card stock. Then I saw a person to whom I had given the card with cash inside discard it like used wrapping paper. The ink and time that went into that card, picking just the right words for the person I gave it to meant nothing. I don't send cards anymore. My family is no more (all passed on). My kids and grandkids only like the card for the money in it. So I use free ones we get in the mail. You probably have friends to whom a homemade card means more to them than the store bought gift.
    These are gorgeous Marena. I would love them.
