Motivational Card and Freebie Printable

Motivational Card and Freebie Printable

I made this motivational card for a little one. This quote is so true. I love the fact that this quote reminds me that we all have our highlight reels, and we should never compare ourselves with others. It is so hard growing up, heck even we adults have trouble growing up. Let's not compare ourselves to anyone, and focus on being the best we can be.

"The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel"

The freebie has a few variations of this quote, including some you can frame and a cute tag you could add to a card.

Favorites of 2014

Thank you for all your support over the years. 2014 was a lot of fun, and I hope that you had a great year. I wanted to share with you my favorite posts from 2014, and what a fun and varied year it was.

Let's start with a project that was featured on the Inspire Us Thursday Link Party

Here is a free printable that is perfect for remembering as we move into 2015. Only associate with great people, because life is too short to waste it on anyone of lesser value. The original post is here, but you can also find more of my printables here.

"Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company"  Booker T. Washington

I love my quilling, and no yearly review would be complete without a quilling project. This card features reverse roses, and a really cute butterfly.

This is a fun printable for your next Birthday Card, look for a few more variations of this printable in 2015.

I love, love, love this snowman, is there really anything more to say about it? One of my all-time favorites, had to add it again!

Another fun printable, be yourself because there isn't anyone who can be you better! 

Finally, wrapping up the year with lots of Christmas projects as shared in the 12 Days of Christmas series! Lots of gift tags, ornaments, and gift cards.

Here is wishing you a wonderful 2015!

12 Days of Christmas Keep Calm Printable

12 Days of Christmas - Day 4 - Free Keep Calm Be Merry Printable

Please remain calm, you still have time until Christmas Day! I admit to getting a bit worried, because I have nieces and nephews who are still "thinking about" what they want. My greatest worry is that they decide too close to Christmas and I don't have time to run out and get it. 

We keep things relatively low key with gifts in our family and only buy for the kids, but there are still quite a few in our family.  This printable is a cheeky reminder to just "chill."  This is an updated version of the project I did last year. I created a few variations of the project so that you have a choice of which one you would like to use. Later this week I will share the tags with you.

12 Days of Christmas Merry and Bright Printable

For December, I have decided to revive my 12 Days of Christmas goodies... I had a great time the last time and thought it would be a lot of fun to share this year.

Since there are 25 days til Christmas I won't be posting something new every day, instead I will post each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until December 19th and then I will post Dec 21, 22, and 23 so that the final project is completed before Christmas Eve.

Since today is Monday, and I usually share a free printable, I thought it would be appropriate to share this Merry and Bright freebie with you today.  I have two sizes of each of these.  One is a 4x6 that I I like to use on cards, and will also frame one or two.  The other is a 3x4 size that I like to include with gift cards or use as a tag by punching a hole in the top and adding a ribbon.  If you have children, you can print out the smaller tags and add them to a class gift for the students or teachers.

FREE Merry and Bright printable

I've had people ask about printing. I like to take a trip to my local Staples and have them print these out, because they have several nice color printers that do a fantastic job with capturing the depth of color and they print on a very nice sturdy paper stock.  They will even print on specialty paper or paper I provide.

What special projects do you do around this time of year?

As always, I am happy to share my tutorials, freebies / printables and cut files with you, I only ask that you do the following:

• Please leave a comment if you download a  freebie / printable / digi, etc, because I would love to hear from you

Motivation Monday Associate Yourself with People of Good Quality

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

This quote is from Booker T. Washington. He knew what he was talking about.

As I was preparing the quote for this week, I thought about the expression "you cannot choose your family" but as this quote points out, we can choose our friends.  There are so many things we have no control over in our lives, let this be one area where we take charge and surround ourselves with only those people who elevate us and make us better.

I am very honored to have my freebies shared here (Thank You Josie, Alison, and team!)

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Motivation Monday Mystery of Grace Free Printable

Today's FREE  printable is the quote

"I do not understand the mystery of Grace, only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us."  by Anne Lamott

I was looking for something to inspire my soul, and so this quote helps ground me. Do you have quotes or sayings that help you get through the day or through difficult times? I'd love to hear them. I keep a collection of quotes, and I am drawn to them and keep collecting more and more of them.

I also wanted to say Thank You to Bibiana for honoring me with the following honorable mention badge. I am honored to have been selected!

There are many colors and sizes (4x6, 4x4, and 3.5x3.5 ) that you find in the free printable.  I hope you are enjoying the quotes I am sharing with you.  Here is a sample of the colors you will find:
