a card can record history... years ago, growing up my mom used to sing to me "you and me against the world". that was our saying because we always knew through thick or thin we would always be there for one another. every card she gave me she would always sign "you and me against the world" at the bottom. we even danced to the song together at my wedding. on my wedding day the card that my mom gave to me had the usual quote but with one addition "you and me against the world + scott". he was now apart of our family which meant we would always be there for one another. well over the years my mom still continues to sign "u & m. a. t. w + s + p + l " at the bottom of each card (my little ones were added). as you may notice it is now abbreviated but the meaning is still there and it has recorded history as we add to our family.
a card can record milestones... as each occasion passes and the years go by i notice my son's writing changing. his first card to me was nothing but cherished scribble that only a mom could understand but now i have printed letters varying in size with his name signed across the card and a backwards C. i know one day that signature will be of a grown man but i will always have the sweet memories recorded in my cards. and not to forget my daughter although her cards have the scribble of a toddler i wonder to myself will she grow-up to have the same child-like print that i still have to this day?
why all of this talk about cards? well it was only natural for me to start designing my own cards. here are a couple of custom cards that i have started. LeilaPie will now start offering custom cards. i hope you like them!
where i get this love of cards? i am not sure but i have a feeling my mom had some influence on the matter. she has been known to shop for hours for the perfect card.
