Female Empowerment Wallet

In a new year it seems many of us choose resolutions. I generally don't, I am not fond of seeing how people feel if they fail on a diet or other.

I do try to be personally better than the year before. I love reading uplifting, motivational, or empowering messages for us women! It's nice to read one that gives us new energy.

I decided to make a wallet filled with empowering cards for several during the holidays. They were a big hit! The photo colors may be a little off but I believe you will get the idea.

The wallet opens up to hold 2 cards you can see each day.

One reads "May what I receive today mirror what I have given out."

Another reads "Today may test my strength, I will still be the best woman I can be".

There is no lack for wonderful sayings or quotes!

Then the back opens to hold other cards for more days. I made 31 sayings for each wallet, so they can be alternated to empower us each day.

Due to the amount of cards I did not embellish a lot because I wanted them to lay flat to fit in a purse if wanted.

I used Close to My Heart Perfect Day papers, Connections and Spot On Background stamps, and inks. I stippled a little. You could certainly embellish, distress or paper more or less. These would also make super lunch box notes.

Today's post is in honor of someone very special, my husband's Grandmother who left us in the wee hours this morning.


Grandma loved to look pretty, and would often sing bits of that song, "I am pretty oh so pretty".
Always wanted her earrings and jewelry on. Great dry wit and great sense of humor, wonderful cook.
The background is a wordle and states a few words that remind me of her. She loved candy, I forgot to add that to the wording so I may add a nice chocolate candy embellishment. I didn't want to stamp or use a lot of patterned paper, I wanted to see the words that reminded me of her.
Close to My Heart Blooms, cd font, and cardstocks.
We love you Grandma and you left us with wonderful memories.
