My inspiration for this week’s art cards was the idea of finding balance in life. I’ve been contemplating what’s most important to me, realizing (and accepting) that life is not a contest or a race to see how much I can get done in a day or a week.
I used a couple of my favorites to illustrate these cards – the blue-green color combination, trees, leaves and a little stream – things that make me feel calm. I purposefully kept this set of cards simple to act as simple reminders to maintain balance in life.
So simple with a powerful message! The stripey borders give them a beautiful frame.
Love them. Wonderful messages and the simplicity underscores the words. Beautiful work, Terri!
Simple reminders seem to be the most effective, I think. I love the trees!

I need those sayings on a mini quilt to hang on my wall. I have the hardest time with balance and I actually get angry at myself when I don’t get everything accomplished that I was going to in a week. Speaking of mini quilt….I think you asked me what the book was that I had and it’s called “Pretty Little Mini Quilts”. I couldn’t find your email to reply to by the time I found the book in my house. 🙂
Will you come over and have a talk with me, please? I’m really, really struggling with balance right now. I know family comes first and all, but after that, I’m really struggling with priorities. I need some balance in my life!
