BLOG MILESTONE:
This is post number 2,000.
I started blogging back in 2013 – it seems a lifetime ago.
Thanks for all of your comments and likes!
Back in 2016, I did a post titled Trash to Treasure – Lilly Pulitzer , about using a cut up advertisement as background paper.
I still have some of the wrapping paper and cut up advertisement, and I used it for some new encouragement cards. Aren’t these sentiments great??
I did two coats of the white embossing powder to get complete coverage.

This background is a repurposed Lilly Pulitzer postcard. I think it came with a planner I ordered as a gift a few years ago.

I’ve been struggling with my creative mojo for some time now. Just part of life, my mind is working overtime on things to fret about.
On Monday, I decided to do a purge on my card basket. I pulled out 40 cards. Went through them repeatedly…are these worthy of giving away? (or should I just trash them??) Yes, they were fine to give away. I texted a neighbor and asked if she would like some free greeting cards (knowing she works with people who like my cards – she could spread the windfall around if she wanted). By 2:00pm, the cards were out of my house.
I felt relieved. Lighter.
And with that, the mojo flowed.
I found a scrap of hoarded Lilly Pulitzer advertisement in my stash, and this card made itself.
And here is what I am listening to as I type. #LesMiserables

I really like this abstract scrap from a Lilly Pulitzer mailing I received.

I got an e-mail yesterday, from Lilly Pulitzer, announcing that yesterday (the first day of summer) was National Wear Your Lilly Day .
I have no Lilly items to wear. So, I pulled out the scraps from the Lilly advertisement I got in the mail last year, and made a birthday card.
Supplies : Stamp – Papertrey Ink, paper – Lilly Pulitzer ad, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Poptone Razzle Berry, ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Spellbinders, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear, organdy ribbon – Offray.
Pulled out the Lilly Pulitzer ad scraps to see if anything inspired me. This green abstract really tugged at me.

I got this Lilly Pulitzer mailing (not quite a catalog) a few weeks ago. I love Lilly Pulitzer artwork! I am on their mailing list because I purchase one planner a year, to give as a gift.
Every page of this thing had artwork or color that inspired me. So, I took it apart, and cut it into pieces.
Here are three encouragement cards that I made with some of the pieces.
