HisLensMyPen...addressing the heart, not the calendar
After talking about it for years, my husband and I have finally joined creative forces. By merging stunning Nature photography (his) with with spot-on inspirational messages (mine), we create greeting cards that reflect universal relationships and experiences.
His Lens/My Pen approaches the traditional greeting card categories -- birthday, anniversary, sympathy, apology -- differently. Our cards speak to emotions and situations -- adventure, friendship, celebration, encouragement, laughter, affirmation. We even have a card to celebrate the strengths of people who are shy! Coming at it this way, His Lens/My Pen cards can be used for all kinds of occasions.
It starts with the image, the inkwell that I dip my pen into. When I begin, the first question is, What is this photograph saying to me? What truths about life does the photo reflect? And most crucial, How can I put all of those thoughts into 20 words or fewer?
"Take Flight" can offer congrats to a recent graduate. And friend sent it to a couple marrying for the second time. "Soar with Friends" is a great birthday card for a great friend, yet someone I know used it as a thank you to a travel agent for organizing a girls' getaway. See what I mean? Because His Lens/My Pen addresses the heart not the calendar, the possibilities are nearly endless. Keep a stack on hand and you'll never be caught short when a friend's birthday takes you by surprise or you need one last graduation card.
Every time I choose on of my husband's photos, the adventure begins again. Thank you for stopping by and joining us on the adventure.

5 out of 5 starsI highly recommend this card. The quality of the card stock is high, the photograph purely professional and the words are the perfect message to go with the photograph. I received the card promptly and in fine condition, as it was packed in an appropriate package. The combined talents of Debra and Martin are phenomenal and I recommend the purchase of any of their cards. Elissa Schwartz

HisLensMyPen...addressing the heart not the calendar
After talking about it for years, my husband and I have finally joined creative forces. By merging stunning Nature photography (his) with with spot-on inspirational messages (mine), we create greeting cards that reflect universal relationships and experiences. On our shop's front page you can read more about the genesis of His Lens/My Pen greeting cards.
What makes His Lens/My Pen cards different from other all other cards?
One, each card's message has been written specifically to reflect what the photograph is saying visually. Consider it a translation, like French to English but in this case image to word.
Two, His Lens/My Pen cards can be used for multiple occasions. "Take Flight: makes a great card for graduation, birthday, anniversary, or to inspire someone turning over a new leaf or beginning a new venture. "Soar with Friends" is a wonderful "just-because-I think-you're-a-wonderful-friend" kind of card. But it's perfect for birthdays. Someone told me she used it as a thank you to a travel agent who organized a girl trip for her and her friends. "Take it One Step at a Time" is an important message for our impatient loved ones. Or for someone in recovery. The possibilities are nearly endless
Three, His Lens/My Pen cards zero in on realities that other cards don't even touch. "Some Folks" is perfect for validating the gifts of a shy child. "Goose Talk" can help break the ice when couples and/or parents and their teens are struggling to see eye-to-eye.
So there you have it for now. Thank you for visiting. If you want to get in touch, please do so on the contact shop owner page.
