The Rolodex cards are such a fun project. Such sweet little collages. The minimalist approach on these works great. I love them. ❤❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Deb and I hope you are having a good week. TFW and yes, I love a good minimalist approach, especially in my clothes closet 🤣🤣

[@mrsA805]

I love these Rolodex cards. These little collages are perfect 😊 Hope you feel better and have a wonderful Mothers Day ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well, Christine !! Thanks for watching and yes, these little rolodex cards are so much fun, especially if you want a fast project. Hugs, gf 🤗

[@SuzieQScraps]

I truly love the Crossword Puzzle Pattern Girls, but this is my favorite of your collages! Tiny but powerful! Thanks for doing another one!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

See, I didn't forget you (just behind) and I'm so happy you enjoyed these little creations. Have a wonderful day and be sure to watch for more to come your way !! xo

I wish I’d kept my old Rolodex when I retired. These turned out so lovely. My husband and I are leaving on a cruise on Sunday.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Well, enjoy that cruise, Janet ........ I do hope it's a lovely exotic trip you are off too! A change of scenery is always good and it sounds like a lovely treat for you. I wish you had kept that rolodex as well ....... one never knows what comes down the road, right? Have a wonderful time away ⛵⛵

💜💜💜 Happy Mother’s Day! Both collage cards looked so pretty - good job and NOW take a rest.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Amy and Happy Mother's Day to you as well (if you are a mom) Enjoy your weekend and going to go take a rest. My eye is acting up again and heading to the doc on Monday for bloodwork. Something isn't right with me, not right at all. Too many hours of sleep and the iritis is back ... UGH See you soon 💚💚💚

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

They are beautiful, Barbie. I am not sure what we will be doing for Mother’s Day. My boys are good about taking care of me. I hope yours will be great!😊❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

TFW, Susan and have a lovely day with the family. Have a wonderful day and see you soon. xo 💐

[@christine0nowell757]

We have mother's day here in the UK in March so ours is gone. A brunch sounds nice, so I wish you a happy mother's day and enjoy your weekend.. Xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Brunch, did someone think of or say brunch !! The only thing I don't like about it is I have to go out and be squirrel like and do all the gathering for it ....HOWEVER, I get to serve what I want and enjoy 🤣🤣Thank you for wishing me a nice MD and as long as the family is together, I couldn't ask for anything more. Hugs, gf and have a blessed day. 🥰

[@joannedipietrantonio6433]

GM Barbie, Happy Mother's Day Weekend. I agree with you, every day is Mother's Day. We will be having a brunch at our house and my son, daughter, daughter in law and 2 grandchildren will be coming over. Then later in the day my husband, daughter and I are going to Delicious Orchards to browse and have a snack lol. I love the collage on rolodex cards. It's surprising how creative you can be on a small surface.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Joanne, what a lovely day you have planned and I do hope the weather cooperates. It's sunny and beautiful blue skies over your home. Thank you for the lovely compliment on the rolodex cards and yes, it doesn't take much to create in a small space ...... especially if it's in your home !! Blessings to you and your entire family this Mother's Day weekend. Hugs 💐

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! I was just getting ready to post a rolodex card when I saw your video pop up. Love both of these beauties - and you're right! Less is more for most of these minis. Hope you feel better today. It is a great idea to give up on the mowing and let someone else do it. Take care of yourself first and then you can worry about the other things in life. Happy Mothers Day to you, dear one! xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Worry is my middle name, Joy. 🤣I try handing so much of my worry of to God but sometimes that just doesn't work. TFW and your lovely comment. Yup, as far as the lawns, I'm giving up the big 3 and will enjoy only the front and a small section around the BBQ area. I do enjoy mowing but not for hours on end ....... I have too many other things I want to do. 💚 Happy Mother's Day to you as well, I'm sure your son has a nice day planned for you. Hugs and many blessings, my friend. xo 🤗🙏💗

[@juliaarmato3984]

very pretty. I always admired the painting of the girl with the pearl earring. I can't do as much as I used to either. Little by little I am pulling down everything in the veg. garden. I tore down my old wooden potting bench. It has seen better days. When I get everything cleared out, I'll have a fresh start. That will be easier to care for. Have a good night. God bless 🌻

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I totally understand, Julia. The mind wants to but the body doesn't cooperate like it use to. Don't overdo and be careful of your body, feet and all🤣 We all want easy as we get older .... TFW and all your support. Sending hugs and blessings your way. 🤗🙏

[@J0yb3ells]

Tiny and beautiful. 😊 I think Mother's Day can be over commercialised, so simple things are best.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I agree, Joy ...... all I want is the family together and a good movie and a bit of good food. I've never made a big deal about MD, now that mom mom is no longer in the picture it's just another day for me. TFW and big hugs, gf ....... have a lovely weekend and may the sun shine down on you wherever you roam. 🌞😎🌞

[@lanakristoff5188]

Tired & neutral. Perfect for my mood today as well. This has been a long week. Glad you decided to rest those feet . No need to overdo it. Nice job on those cards.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Lana ........... a big yes and I'm sorry you are feeling the same. I ended up napping in the afternoon and that's not like me at all. TFW and you very nice compliment on the cards. Have a wonderful weekend and let's both rest, our bodies and our minds. 🥰🥰🥰

[@linmims3049]

These are so pretty. I love the backgrounds, I'm going to go have a look around this Collage Soup shop because what I have seen of their collage fodder, I really like. Mother's Day, no plans whatsoever. My 5 children stay so busy with life I count myself blessed anytime I get to see them, they usually plan dinner at one of their houses or we go out. I hope you have a beautiful day filled with loads of love and laughter. Take it easy on that foot. Let the lawn man handle it for you. Peace and Love my friend. xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Lin ....... I always wanted a large family but God had something different in store for me. I took what I could get and was over the moon with my twins. It sounds like you are going to have a lovely day, no matter where you end up. I'm sure there'll be plenty of sunshine that comes your way 🌞🌻🌞Yes, check out CS website to see the freebees she posts. Yup, the foot is still being taken care of and I go back on the 21st .... I'm hoping on the 22nd I can get it into a sneaker to go and play in my flower bed. Sending big hugs and lots of love your way. xoxo 🤗💞🧡💞💛💞

[@maryannschuetz5155]

LOVE these littles❣ Thanx for the inspiration. 🙏🏻

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Mary Ann. I'm so happy you enjoyed the cards and have been inspired in some way. Have a wonderful weekend. xo 🧡💛🧡

[@sandyjuliano-cy9rf]

Love these. Girl with Pearl Earring is a favorite of mine and my daughters as well. Happy Mother’s Day. Thanks for sharing, your work is lovely.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much for watching, Sandy! Have a blessed weekend with your family and thank you for the well wishes this MD weekend. Hugs xo

[@MerryScraps]

Both of these are just beautiful!!!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Jeanna. Have a wonderful weekend and wishing you a happy Mother's Day with your family. xo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Barbie I love the Rolodex cards.they are really pretty. I love to go back through mine on occasion, fun stuff. We are going for a long weekend to a little town in NC for a concert that is Monday night.. I think it is a good idea to step back from mowing. I still mow but we only have 2 acres. I mow the back and hubby mows the front. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to you. 🥰

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Pam, have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your time away. A change of scenery is always wonderful. What kind of riding mower do you have? I do love mine but need to cut a few hours off the schedule. My problem is when I'm out mowing, I can't stop ........ I really do love it but it's a time sucker. Don't you over do either. Thanks for the well wishes and I'll see you soon! Hugs and blessings ... 🤗🙏❤

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

I love to mow and I use a Country Clipper zero turn. It has a joy stick instead of the 2 handle bars. Allen uses a Cub Cadet Tank.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@tatteredpaperandlace2905 I love to mow too, I just have too many lawns. I would have loved to have gotten a zero turn, however, I have some side hills it wouldn't have worked on. I can picture you on you mower now ......... varooooom !!

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

LOL, how did you know. I have a need for speed. Our property is mostly level so the zero turn works great. The mower Allen uses for few of the difficult areas.

[@shayriddle1498]

Hi Barbie, I love these little cards. You talked about not being able to mow. I was thinking the same thingv when I was doing spring cleaning. Time to hire help? My husband is in Switzerland so im hanging out with my youngest son. Happy mother's day my friend. Xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, Shay ....... I wish I could hire help to mow but it's way too expensive. I do spring for the Spring cleanup b/c I could never do that. We are on 5 acres (all groomed; which was a huge mistake) and it would be impossible for me to even attempt it. I told hubby when the boys move off property this place will be put up for sale and I'd love to move into a sweet little townhouse somewhere. I so wish I had kept my mom and dads home after my mom passed in 2018. I am kicking myself now. I would have been perfect for hubs and me. At least I know the gal that bought it so I could always make her an offer down the road. Enjoy the day with your son on Mother's Day 💗may it be filled with love and happiness. Hugs and blessings ........ 🤗🙏

[@ChelleBeeby]

Barbie, long-time listener, first-time poster... can I ask what you're using to print your PDF??? I downloaded all the collage soup books and I have print options available to change paper and ink quality, and just for my own sanity, I opened a few of their books in Photoshop as well.. I'm unsure what the problem is? Maybe I can help you out with this, as I adore Collage Soup and as someone who lives in the merry old land of Oz and shipping would be horrific, I find it a great choice for me (anyway) to buy the downloads. Give me a shout if you'd like a hand.. would be a shame for you to miss out on some amazing downloads if it's an easy fix.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You are so sweet to help me out. I have an Epson ET 4800 .... which I love. My son is a wizard in PS and showed me yesterday how to drop the books into PS, export and create each page as a jpg. My bird video will show others what we have to do behind the scenes as a creator and how long things can take to get it all right. THE PROBLEM was ME 🤣🤣 My good friend (who is a computer programmer) reminds me all the time, it's not the program, the computer or the printer, it's the USER 🤣🤣🤣now I can get more digitals, seeing this user has got her s*it together. Thanks so much for all your help, I so appreciate it and I do hope to hear from you again. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend and big hugs 🤗🤗🤗

[@ChelleBeeby]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns hahahaha, yep.. my husband says that to me too all the time. I'm just happy you got it sorted. It would of been such a shame, as the collage soup books are life for me right now, and I appreciate that I can actually get them digitally. Not a lot comes to Oz, and if it does, the post is a killer! Happy mothers day to you.. I think mother's day is the same, it's father's day we celebrate in September and you guys in.... oh I'm not sure now, but I think it's different. Anyway, have a great one. Take care and go off and print all the things now!
