You may wonder, if you haven't known me for long, why my blog is at cardsbybelle.blogspot.com. What do cards and belle have to do with Rhielle? Many years ago, I was famous for making beautiful home made cards. This was at the beginning of the card-making boom and I thought that someday I might open a business where people could purchase a one-of-a-kind card for their loved one. I soon realized, however, that creating one-of-a-kind cards was not important to people because using a design for only one card made them very expensive. I created a blog where I thought I would showcase some work but then it just turned into a place to write down my thoughts. Now, people turn to cards by belle to read about me!
On Sunday, my father celebrated his 58th birthday. I took him and my mom out to lunch on the next day and gave him his birthday card. I haven't made any of these unique cards in a while. It was fun to put one together again. And, the inside (although you can't see it) the card hosts a gift certificate which makes it great wrapping paper.
Later that afternoon, I came home and made cards for everyone who has a birthday in March. You will have to check back for images, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for those who are receiving them.
