Hey creative, are you a planner gal? Yolie is and so am I! I love that Yolie makes her own inserts, especially when she uses my stamps with Art Foamies! Do you use stamped sentiments in your work? “Grateful Heart” is one of my die cuts that turned into an Art Foamies stamp. Don’t you think that a reminder to have a grateful heart daily is a great way to start your day?

Stamped Sentiments by Rita Barakat
“Grace”, “Follow Your Heart” (below) and “I Am A Dream Chaser” (not shown) are the other sentiment stamps this collection. Encouraging words are so important, even if we are simply reminding ourselves to give ourselves a little grace. Remind ourselves to always follow our hearts and to chase those dreams!

Speaking of dreams, I have been working on a little something for you. I can’t share just yet but as soon as I can I will do a big announcement! Each year brings new surprises and this is a good one! Make sure you have signed up for the newsletter so you don’t miss anything!
In the meantime, if you are in the Houston area or know of someone in the Houston area I will be teaching not just one but four classes this summer! I can’t always get away so I try to do several classes in one weekend. Don’t miss out! Just click on the classes and happenings tab above for the details!
