I stopped feeling "obligated" to do what was "expected." Now I enjoy a kind of freedom I can't explain.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">I don't have to give 110 percent, go the extra mile, or keep a stiff upper lip. What is the point of "suffering in silence" when a single word might bring relief? Why should I look for the best in others when those "others" are not interested in looking for the best in themselves. I Prefer to spend my time celebrating the people among us who don't require a "deep dive" to find their empathy, honesty, or humanity!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">Recently, I was working on a product review. It was just a stamp and die set from a company marketing its craft products on Amazon. I didn't spend a lot of time on the image, I used two or three colors and that was it, but for some odd reason, this card became a reflection of the energy I have in my life right now. I feel so exhilarated and so very, very free!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">Reflection on Freedom!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I purchased it online at Temu about 8 months ago but never used it. I had her taped to the iPad on my craft table. I just knew the opportunity to use her would eventually present itself. There is an entire story to this.

Most of the entries are just dazzling, so I don't know how my little creation will stack up to all that wonderful creativity, but this is my year to enter more challenges and do new things! Unfortunately, two of my images are not Lavinia Stamps so this project is not eligible.

In quick succession, the first and then the second son both tried to hunt a hare that lured them to a mill, where it turned into a dragon and ate them both. The third and youngest son then searched for his brothers. He resisted hunting the hare and asked an old woman in chains at the mill to help him discover the dragon's weakness. She tricks the dragon into revealing that it lives in a lake in a faraway kingdom and that its power lay inside of the dragon's body, which also contained that of a boar, a hare, a pigeon, and a sparrow. The prince traveled to the kingdom, became the emperor's shepherd, and took the flock to graze by the lake without allowing the dragon to eat the sheep, as had happened before. After two encounters with the dragon, the prince fought the dragon for a third time, and after the princess kissed him on the forehead, he tossed the dragon into the sky. Falling to the ground, the dragon smashed into pieces, becoming different animals. The prince first used his dogs to catch the boar and the hare inside the boar and then used his hawk to catch the pigeon. Inside the pigeon, he found the sparrow. He spared the sparrow's life in exchange for information on where he could find his brothers. He marries the emperor's daughter and frees a village's people, including his brothers, from the dragon's cellar in the mill.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9xN2obqi1neaUXqIBpPfbxJRRLwVNdiVDNj0chhJEmsqXZONy1vdj5aBWvUrjZAF-pfiQ1Bn4Mr5vpuNCbE9uGzln3RikcGJZPeNwu9MDVt6O1FuHyO3W6po3OBJk_eJLS2oyG6z8jmMlkQhPHEoDavi0WXBtZvvnfZAMwzPt9dGMZYXuCO09bcW6E8/s576/Dragon2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="568" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9xN2obqi1neaUXqIBpPfbxJRRLwVNdiVDNj0chhJEmsqXZONy1vdj5aBWvUrjZAF-pfiQ1Bn4Mr5vpuNCbE9uGzln3RikcGJZPeNwu9MDVt6O1FuHyO3W6po3OBJk_eJLS2oyG6z8jmMlkQhPHEoDavi0WXBtZvvnfZAMwzPt9dGMZYXuCO09bcW6E8/w416-h421/Dragon2.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: medium;">I found the dragon image online!

I wanted to recreate a design I saw on a greeting card over at Lavinia Stamps. I added my own elements. I think it turned out okay! My doctor loves fun socks, so I got "doc socks" as a fun gift and a beautiful "aerospace engineer" ink pen as a real gift!<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">The Final Product!</span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMABhuokxzZUJNJdCBJj-jMIPPIJdVCMTL7VHZF0V5EsG2UxpbYyXgRW-jHr3ZdsrdDQsTEI-Sw4A5CJnyktpyer7dpCu-8aOnl9PFYYZBv9vjbs5rn3uOBwqtnE7XxQA6oVDHbBm9adVsjSgU40hhMCIBabYcOaLbV0VfIpp4IopeQ4QdIhfrisMIOOA/s586/Bag%20propped_blurred.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="586" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMABhuokxzZUJNJdCBJj-jMIPPIJdVCMTL7VHZF0V5EsG2UxpbYyXgRW-jHr3ZdsrdDQsTEI-Sw4A5CJnyktpyer7dpCu-8aOnl9PFYYZBv9vjbs5rn3uOBwqtnE7XxQA6oVDHbBm9adVsjSgU40hhMCIBabYcOaLbV0VfIpp4IopeQ4QdIhfrisMIOOA/w484-h476/Bag%20propped_blurred.jpg" width="484" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">MESS #2</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_R6LTB0rb7aamjfgVT9f943If4fcNUXaX7zjK-3N7EsKWley5NEq3NFVwZUokdCQ8tSqhnzoBmq0a2iH7d3Ko6NiEhvi1iHhZ5EkJ2lT4sfRozxO2voFBNg-yOYc6fJF2dC1fr2OczQKIA3J4qjsMtFgmDKBF98G20hiDGV4-rWgkyNuih4Y3RP38-7M/s1920/2024-01-02_11-50-34.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_R6LTB0rb7aamjfgVT9f943If4fcNUXaX7zjK-3N7EsKWley5NEq3NFVwZUokdCQ8tSqhnzoBmq0a2iH7d3Ko6NiEhvi1iHhZ5EkJ2lT4sfRozxO2voFBNg-yOYc6fJF2dC1fr2OczQKIA3J4qjsMtFgmDKBF98G20hiDGV4-rWgkyNuih4Y3RP38-7M/w575-h325/2024-01-02_11-50-34.jpg" width="575" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Handlee; font-size: x-large;">A Gatefold Card</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: medium;">This month on my challenge blog<a href="https://hereisaplacetostart.blogspot.com" target="_blank"> A Place to Start, </a>our theme is "Create A Gatefold!" I was following a tutorial and wanted to create a scenic gatefold. I made a video for my YouTube Channel, but due to my procrastination, I won't be able to finish editing that until I come back from my treatment today. Which means it won't get done until tomorrow. I always have chills after the treatments and generally spend the next day or two in bed. Hopefully, I will be able to add the video to this post tomorrow night. This is, after all, a New Year!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Handlee; font-size: large;">The Finished Card</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3HoN0s57N6uzj95eViYak5FJzemrYbnLkm-1XjXmEmR4w7bq7YCxvOCOfguSm1pgue8PCtPMBMKpRyOjrL0qbbXyqQ51i-_lkcA-CQQb5hCTdVBog8XVsSQWo8dAArFpxzGVvC9Lhx0LB-SCAOzZlOTOuqkWCBEt4TtYg4BqXwxNRCF_lrmVJ1nl2jg/s687/Card%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="687" height="451" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3HoN0s57N6uzj95eViYak5FJzemrYbnLkm-1XjXmEmR4w7bq7YCxvOCOfguSm1pgue8PCtPMBMKpRyOjrL0qbbXyqQ51i-_lkcA-CQQb5hCTdVBog8XVsSQWo8dAArFpxzGVvC9Lhx0LB-SCAOzZlOTOuqkWCBEt4TtYg4BqXwxNRCF_lrmVJ1nl2jg/w541-h451/Card%202.jpg" width="541" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkvN6eTWliMZlTzJ7s9p2PCZ4W81DwStaVorGlB0QmCSdUTHC4AzUM28rK8Gd4AZ0POfWFFrb4MDTUh6dfr_uBPyBN4l6Ul2P6Gfqn-ILzY0nqz9nOkTd0-IOO30003fte_BRfKZiJFFNTxczE69H4tTONw5AVSa415a5cNB1DkWHAAah125oREXDbXI/s738/Card12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="738" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkvN6eTWliMZlTzJ7s9p2PCZ4W81DwStaVorGlB0QmCSdUTHC4AzUM28rK8Gd4AZ0POfWFFrb4MDTUh6dfr_uBPyBN4l6Ul2P6Gfqn-ILzY0nqz9nOkTd0-IOO30003fte_BRfKZiJFFNTxczE69H4tTONw5AVSa415a5cNB1DkWHAAah125oREXDbXI/w531-h369/Card12.jpg" width="531" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-X9FBGGE_bRZSmSzO1RG9-KTjuP-Qy6GAhL8Rn9BZ18OmOv6jMhPlZ0Fz-sv5xgLGQHRm-93pkyPSeorqSNZsiP-Io089ZBWiFNeaRd8C-7eHQzobFWJpMA8Vj8ZTAYOL0axtmiNetJ9NEoaqedU_IfE_xGBZ9oEmWDaMIOx3OGZcx0vdF-uAsKWfFt0/s814/Card%2010.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="814" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-X9FBGGE_bRZSmSzO1RG9-KTjuP-Qy6GAhL8Rn9BZ18OmOv6jMhPlZ0Fz-sv5xgLGQHRm-93pkyPSeorqSNZsiP-Io089ZBWiFNeaRd8C-7eHQzobFWJpMA8Vj8ZTAYOL0axtmiNetJ9NEoaqedU_IfE_xGBZ9oEmWDaMIOx3OGZcx0vdF-uAsKWfFt0/w530-h376/Card%2010.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcIuPGaf1rLVwCvg-XtzyHLRBIylI12jSLMPW-Gxxq70OqA045ZRuexljWNtORdMI_LdqZ1YWPkI_lHTqhzjNsvbf9VZdDN6ahTvYvl66XoJyXx0Oq0M4hEI5J9Q-cCyG6vFofErpGv2VtHtrbBxVb89p8juuyAqep8pJxVnawLQNWsmjefj1BguhXrU/s905/Card%207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="905" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcIuPGaf1rLVwCvg-XtzyHLRBIylI12jSLMPW-Gxxq70OqA045ZRuexljWNtORdMI_LdqZ1YWPkI_lHTqhzjNsvbf9VZdDN6ahTvYvl66XoJyXx0Oq0M4hEI5J9Q-cCyG6vFofErpGv2VtHtrbBxVb89p8juuyAqep8pJxVnawLQNWsmjefj1BguhXrU/w471-h300/Card%207.jpg" width="471" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Handlee; font-size: medium;">Thanks to everyone who visits!
