We have access to three Ai text-to-image software packages, and the one that we select to use when developing an image is determined by what we want to project. The image of a fisherman shown here was initially a photo realistic image. However, I prefer images that...

I have been quiet the past three months due to the time needed to build our new e-commerce website, Graces Daily, and working with new AI software. Been spending time learning the capabilities of the "X" Corp. software, Grok. Grok is entirely different than the AI...

I remember an interesting statistic from when I lived in Virginia, 56% of the Civil War was fought on Virginia soil. But, the Old Dominion's history encompasses more than that. From the Jamestown settlement, the surrender of British General Cornwallis at Yorktown, to...

We recently created a new Greeting Card category “Special Day Cards,” where we will introduce new cards for days celebrating Christmas, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, etc. In creating these first Mother’s Day cards I used quotes from Mitch Albom and Washington Irving: 1....

I admit to being a fan of Willie Nelson. And, as a fan, I look for any of his spoken words that might be used in creating a new Greeting Card. Here are two of his “quotes:” 1. “Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.” I used arid landscape colors to...

I wanted to create a card from an Oprah Winfrey quote “The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.” After considerable thought, I decided to create a scene where a successful African American woman, in her...
