Graphic’s Fairy Cards

Happy Monday!  I thought I would share the basic construction of a card just before Mother’s Day so you can make your own.  I use 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock and cut in two equal parts at 51/2. Fold both pieces in half for two cards. For the front I sketch, watercolor, or print something appropriate on my printer making four copies on one 81/2 X 11 sheet of card stock. Trim to fit, glue or use double stick tape to apply to card base. The graphics can be found on the website called The Graphic's Fairy. These are some free ones. She also has some fabulous paid perks if you care to join her groups. I just use the free ones at this time. I also like to color copy my artwork and make cards. Some of them are quite quirky. You can follow me on my Instagram account: @lyndaharley to view more artwork. I learned to watercolor and draw on YouTube. Dina Wakely, Ali Brown, Shawn Petite, and Pam over at Sewcrazy are just a few of the talents I watch and learn.....you should give it a try!


 These are just a few cards I have donated to the Take Heart store in downtown Lakeland. I was hoping to get some folks to volunteer to make some for the store during my move. We plan to visit the grands more often by staying portable and bouncing between Alabaster, AL and Moscow, Idaho!

   Take Heart is a non profit helping widows and aged out orphans to attend school in Kenya. They just opened a store downtown Lakeland selling fair trade items. Marvelous inventory and something for everyone!

The above is amazing artwork made from barrels. My favorite is the Amazing Grace sign.

There is a story behind this cross. You'll have to visit the store and ask about it....

The above photo is a picture of my sister, Michelle. She quit her job as an assistant principal to help her friend, Delta Ryan that began this journey.

We hope you stop by and learn about the mission to help others. Everyone can do something! I make cards, volunteer, paint on books, and donate time, $, and talent.  The LORD has blessed the store and it's so much easier than garage sales! We appreciate your business.....buy with a purpose. 

Come by and visit when you get a chance. First Fridays are popular but you can come Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-5:00 I think are the hours.......Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings!   Lynda
