Hybrid Hub: Thank You Card No. 2

I have a new hybrid project, I want to show you. It’s another Thank-You card. There are so many reasons to be thankful to those around us, so it’s hard to keep up with showing my appreciation. But cards are a great way to demonstrate your thankfulness, especially when they come handcrafted. For this particular card, I used “Just Breathe” by Kristin Cronin-Barrow and Lauren Grier (available at sweetshoppedesigns.com). Creating this card was fairly simple, since the kit comes with beautiful papers that you really want to show off. I just sized everything on my computer, printed it off on cardstock and assembled it. Note that the sentiment (translated it means: “Wanna say thank you”) is printed directly on the background paper, which was possible, because I always fully design my cards before copying and pasting everything separately onto a new blank canvas for printing.

Around Town: Bike Ride Around Town

Spring is certainly in the air, and that means the time for our bike-rides has started again. With some of my colleagues and friends, I like to get out, and usually we ride somewhere out to the fields just to get away from the hustle and bustle of town. In the recent two years, there has been a lot of construction going on out there – they have been building a lot of roads. But since there is hardly any traffic those roads are perfect for our bycicles, though we also love to go off road on one of the many trails that connect the fields with the villages.
