Dear Sandra, I miss you

 Here's a wonderful image from one of my favorite artists!  Sandra Caldwell.  I am sure some of you are aware that she passed away unexpectedly.  It made me quite sad, but her memory lives on in these beautiful images that she created.  I was on her design team from the start and worked with her at several different stamp companies.

Question of the day:  what shape/size of cards do you make?

Me?  I still think my favorite size is 6x6

Check out my wonderful Etsy store.   I sell precut lace in wonderful packs so you get 20 or 40 pieces all different in a wide array of colors, beautiful embellishments, or Lace Menagerie which is 6 yard assortments!  You can find the store here: https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com

happy Sunday, I don't know the artist Sandra well, but her stamps are very beautiful and different from the others.
I don't have a favorite size, ranging from slimline to square or mini, it depends on the scene I want to create. a hug Taty

I make A2 cards most often but have done a variety of sizes. This is such a cute card. The color combo pops. Sandra left a legacy.

So cute! I usually make A2 but sometimes create slimline and mini slimline cards. I have several fun fold dies I need to get out and use.

Love that lace! Size depends on what I'm using. If using embossing folders I usually go for 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. Otherwise it depends on the image and whatever envelope I pick out of my envy box. I make cards to fit whatever envy I have and I choose the envelope by color to match cardstock.

A2 size unless designing for someone then 6 by 6.

I was so lucky to have Sandra pick one of my cards as a favorite! It's so wonderful when the artist likes what you do with the image. I usually make A2. That size is the easiest to mail.
