Greetings Card Mama Elephant Origami John Bloodworth Gentleman Crafter (7)

A Friendly Hello

January 3, 2019December 19, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter8 Comments

Love Stamping

January 2, 2019December 19, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter3 Comments

August 26, 2018August 13, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter7 Comments

Fear is such a disabling emotion, I would say. Fear of the unknown can have us sitting unable to move and wondering what will happen.

Over the years I have tried to replace this with curiosity – it doesn’t always work but I thought that it’d be cool to make an ATC to remind me of this.

Fancy a look?

Artist Trading Card 139 – Stronger Than Yesterday

August 19, 2018August 13, 2018 John - Gentleman Crafter18 Comments

Every day can be a challenge. Every little issue can seem like it’s dragging you down. The flip side of these annoying little niggles is that they build strength, resilience and character.

This ATC is a reminder that no matter what is going on today, you have come a long way and are stronger than you were yesterday.
