Art has been a passion of mine since I was about 5. I started drawing to impress the kids in the neighborhood, school, teachers and my parents, but most of all, I was drawing because I enjoyed it. In fact, somehow my husband found a batch of my old drawings that I have used on some of my card designs. I also enjoy photography, and was the first one of my friends to get a digital camera. I completed a photography course with the New York Institute of Photography that took me two years as I was also working. I have been designing cards for about 11 years, and I use some commercially purchased art for some of them. I retired early so I would have more time for my art and I am now using software to edit, and create greeting cards and art. I hope you enjoy my designs, and if you should purchase some, thank you. Also if you should recommend my shop to your friends, thanks so much for your help. Rosalie
