Beauty amidst the mess - A6 Card
Handmade and printed from my original  Illustration.

Story behind BEAUTY card
Meandering down a tree lined cobbled Lisbon street, this building stops me in my tracks. A bittersweet building. Beautiful and flawed. It’s beauty captured me, the intricate designs, the architecture, the history and stories I imagine it represents. All of this shamefully framed by cumbersome barriers, ordinary, practical signposts, danger signs screaming out that perhaps it’s not so beautiful or safe inside. Graffitied and marked by those who didn’t see or care for its beauty. Yes I know I’ve used beautiful or beauty several times, all you writers and editors may be screaming at me!! But this building is beautiful still. It represents beauty even amidst the mess. Sounds familiar. May we see the beauty even amidst the mess, the potential, the what could be, in ourselves and in others.

Story behind Calendar card range
Following on from your feedback and love of our one word per month Calendar we’ve combined my illustrations, inspirational quotes and scripture verses to create these cards.

Once again we wanted to provide you with items to champion and cheer your people. A card that will encourage, brighten, hug, inspire, speak truth, be there when you can’t be! I know that’s a lot for a card to do, lol!! But in your hands and with your heart and passion for your friends, combined with the truth of God’s word, I believe it can do that and more 🙌🙏👊 So let’s go old school, get your pen and paper out. Buy a stamp instead of a chocolate bar. And go champion and cheer. Get writing & posting.
