Lifting The Hearts of Others


Hello Everyone!

This is the week we are On A Mission, with Valentines Day only few days away I thought you might enjoy seeing the Valentines I made recently at Heart Lifters.


Heart Lifters is a group of ladies in our church that are On A Mission to make and send cards to encourage our members who are home bound, in the hospital, recuperating or in nursing homes. 




 Our Mission is to encourage and uplift members as well as friends and families of our members.



We also celebrate our church and school staff members during the year. 


On average we have 4-10 regular members that make cards every other month during the calendar year, producing 40-60 cards per session.  


 We love making cards! 


Ribbons, paper, glue flies around the table along with lots of laughter. 



 What a blessing to be able to serve in this way!   I hope you'll be inspired today to send a card to someone you know that needs an encouraging word.  It's never too late to send a card and let someone know they are loved. 

Happy Valentines Day with love,

Suzy

A Little Valentine Love

Hello Everyone!


Valentine's Day was a week ago,  but I thought you might like to see some handmade Valentine cards made for those special people in my life.


                A vintage look made by gathering a rose tissue paper to make a ruffle along the  edges of the card.
                                  I gathered more pink tissue paper to give the heart an added dimension.
                                        I went for a Vintage Valentine with Modern twist look here.
                                                       This is the Sweet Heart Look.
For my girls. 

Hand stamped "lovelovelove" on background. Love Love Love the white XOX in white gel pen. 


I made these t-shirt nighties for my granddaughters. 
The gathered ruffles on the sleeves and hem are made from recycled t-shirts I cut up for this project. 


                                             The hearts are free-hand and hand painted.


 Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day and that you had the opportunity to do something special for your loved ones too!
