Hi Sue!
 
  I have to honestly say that you really do have a very personal touch that is present in your cards. Maybe it really does make a difference in your designs when you have some kind of emotional attachment to each situation you've created a card for! I think it's great.
 
  I'm not sure what kind of personality I bring to my cards just yet. I've never had any other kind of background other that being an graphic/artist. I've recently discovered the joy of photography but my full time job usually deters me from getting out to actually enjoy it.
 
  To put it simply, I've always had a fascination with greeting cards. I'm usually the one who always remembers birthdays, anniversaries, showers etc...and takes great joy in sending out our Christmas cards early!    
So when I came across GCU, I thought I'd give it a try. I actually reaslised that I'm not so bad at it. I've really surprised myself. The best part is that I've become a part of something I think is pretty unique and extra-ordinary! I'm sure alot of you will agree there's no better feeling when a customer relates to and appreciates your card and actually buys it!
 
  My designs may be from my quirky imagination but my word always come from my heart. (I think that we all share similar dreams).
 
Oma.

Hi Sue,
I read this thread the other day and knew that I would want to respond to you when I got a chance.  Yes, I agree with you totally.  My own emotions and experiences often go into my cards.  Just recently I was doing a pet sympathy card, I just looked into my dogs eyes, and the words just flowed.  I cried at my own card.  This may seems silly to some, but this is what it is about for me--connecting with others.  Just imagine for every card you sell, you have touched two people's lives in a positive way.  There is great joy in that.  By the way, I love your cards.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts too!
Kathy
