Newton's Nook Designs Send Uplifting Smiles Blog Hop!


Hello, and welcome to my little spot on the blog hop. For those who do not know me, my name is Diane Morales I am on the Inky Paws Challenge Team and this is my FIRST BLOG HOP EVER! 
the Send Uplifting Smiles Blog Hop! What is the goal of this hop? To help brighten your day with uplifting and encouraging cards that will make you smile!
I know that everybody is stuck at home.
Creating and sending cards is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends near and far.
Cardmaking is also way to relax and detox from all unbelievable events that are going on in the world.

Here is my contribution to the hop.

Sending Uplifting Smiles Blog Hop by Diane Morales using Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs


I am an essential worker; I work for Kroger. I cannot tell you how many people have left me a DM or sent a card to check on me during this time. Words cannot express how thankful I am for all those encouraging messages and cards.
Those simple acts of kindness kept me going during uncertain times.
MY card features a re-cycled holiday Stamp Set Snow Globe Scenes. Peeping out behind the buildings is the Land Boarders Die Set (a personal favorite of mine) and a couple of fluffy clouds from the Sky Scene Builder Die Set.



I colored in my buildings in the color of a rainbow, a reminder that better days are ahead!
My Sentiment come from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. A reminder that YOU make the world a nicer place! WE as card makers can do our part to make the world a nicer place! Go to your crafty space, make some cards! They do not have to be elaborate or challenge worthy, just something that comes from the heart. Place your card in the brightest colored envelope that you can find and mail that card off! 
I guarantee that you are going to brighten up someone’s day.


Thanks SO much for stopping by.

Diane
