1 of 130... Birthday Cards...

So I have been making cards for a while...

I have been scrapbooking for over 25 years...

And I usually get request from family and friends...

Can I make them a scrapbook for this person, or that person.

But until now, I have never had a request for cards...

I am not sure why, maybe they just have gotten better... LOL

So my sister Julie texts me, and ask if I can make her a few birthday cards for her co workers...

Believe me, I was excited, I love the challenge...

Then I thought about it and I asked her how many...

She texted me back... around/ or a little more than 130...

I took a minute and I asked her by when did she need them.

She replied over the course of a year...

That was what made me say yes...

The part that fascinated me... was, that I only make cards for people I like and know...

most people do.

 I wondered could I make a card for some one I don't know anything about? 

Would it come out just as nice?

Why does this matter?

Because when I make a card, the first thing I see is color.

I close my eyes and I think of the person and colors or a color comes to me.

Thus, that is my inspiration.

When I look at people I see color, every one has their own color...

I know it sounds weird, but for me it has always been this way.

So, each card is personal...

 and what will be the out come of the card when I don't even know the person?

Well this is my challenge...

The month before, I will get a list of names and I will make a card for each one.

No other details, other than close friend or just co worker.

So aside for January, I will make those cards asap.

But also in January I will get the list of names of those who have Birthdays in February.

So this way she can have them in time.

So this is my beginning of my 1 of 130 Birthday Cards...

Wish me luck...
