Growing up, I loved the smell of new crayons and new books. I guess it was the vision of a fresh creation or a fresh adventure that gave me a sense of joy. I have always dabbled with sketching and painting, and given a pen, I was likely to find myself doodling.

Life's ups and downs brought not only special and happy moments, like getting married and having children, but challenging circumstances as well. Apart from my own moments like these, doing life with people, exposed me to many experiencing a multitude of difficult and challenging situations. Inspired by God's faithfulness in my own life, I now found myself sending out a lot of scripture based cards that would not only deliver cheer, but also deliver a message of hope to those who needed it.

Sensing God's tug on my heart to use the gifts He had given me to encourage others in my path, soon resulted in the creation of Courage In Color. Lifting spirits with color, and inspiring courage with God's Word, became the purpose of my handmade line of encouragement cards. Using colorful paper, beautiful embellishments, ribbons and the like ,as well as, pen and ink, allows me to provide a variety of one of a kind cards, especially in the inspirational market.

2020 brought a significant amount of interest in my custom, hand painted Bibles, in particular my Wedding Bible.

I also delight in creating custom orders...I love meeting a specific need, or simply bringing someone's vision to life . These orders usually help to develop my creativity and design using more varied techniques.

Courage In Color has now become a "go to" shop for inspirational, handmade cards and gifts, and for that, I am so grateful!

It is my hope that when you browse through my one of a kind creations in the shop here on Etsy, that you too, will be encouraged to inspire courage with the written Word! Thanks for stopping by!

I look forward to serving you soon!
Inspiring you to wear courage every day,

❤️
