Crafting Greeting Cards –
Garden Series: From My Garden to Your Desktop
This collection of photography is from my garden. I collect passifora and other plants. I wanted to share my love of nature in notecards you can send as thoughtful gifts.
The next group is a series of holiday cards in a series. I wanted to create a story of animals being chased out of the snow by a larger animal-the next two will be bigger and even more interesting, they are in the works. This was a series I created using Adobe Illustrator and it was started in 2016.

The next series captures my love of winter and of course Christmas. It’s about coming in for hot chocolate, kicking off your boots and enjoying lunch. There are many smells associated with the winter feeling including cinnamon, toast, hot chocolate and even tea.
In this series, created in 2022, there is also finding the tree in the forest and the hill in the neighborhood where everyone hung out in the snow, building forts or just sliding down the mountain. It is a homage to growing up in New Jersey.
All of these cards were created in Adobe Photoshop.

This next group was a proposed birthday card and many other images have been put together with words to create images for all seasons.
