My sister in law was creating a box of encouragements for a friend the other day and asked if I have ever designed "promise cards". I had never heard of such cards, so I quickly did some research and figured out what she was talking about.

A few posts ago I mentioned the memory verse cards that I was creating for myself, to help me memorize scripture, well these are a lot like that. They are cards of encouragement with verses specific to the promises of God, which he has given to his children in his Word.

I am going to challenge myself and try and memorize these 6 verses I've designed. I hope they can bring some encouragement to you as well. If you'd like to purchase them for yourself (to use as a bookmark in your bible, or maybe to encourage a friend) you can find them as an easy digital download in my etsy store. Just print them out yourself :)

I took this picture at sunset on a fall day in Port Elgin.  Andrew and I were sharing a few days at a cute little cottage with my parents. We were celebrating my Moms victory in surviving breast cancer that year. It felt so sweet to walk with her and Dad through the harbour, savouring God's goodness and beautiful creation. I will always cherish this time, full of beach walks with Mom, warm hot chocolate and just relishing in her company and wonderful wisdom.

This design will soon be available in my etsy shop as an art print for download.

As autumn and thanksgiving are my favourite time of year, of course I have designed some pieces for fall in my etsy shop. Check the left sidebar to see more or if you are interested in purchasing the digital files to these fun new pieces.

I've finally opened up a little Etsy shop to start selling digital copies of various designs that I have created in the present and over the years.


I was struggling with opening up a shop for quite some time because I work full time as a designer and couldn't see how I would be able to fit in the grunt work of orders into my current schedule. But then I realized that Etsy was offering a great new feature of letting artists or creators simply upload a digital file (usually pdf or jpeg) of their work to make it available for simple download. This way I could charge less for my designs and my customers could use the print however they wanted.. and on whatever card-stock or paper choice they preferred. It makes the process so simple - Buy - Download & Print.
In the future, if I ever have more time, I might start making physical prints and possibly venture into mug designs or textiles (and we all know I also enjoy embroidery). But for now, I am just happy and excited to be able to share my art with others :)

I've been working on some thanksgiving designs that I'm pretty excited about. Autumn is my favourite season. So stay tuned for those designs coming up in the shop, and I'll blog about them here.

Please go and check out my etsy shop at lovelyinkdesign.etsy.com or you can find links to my shop in the left sidebar right here on the blog. Hope you have a lovely weekend!!
