"Stimulating Without The Check"

Hello to all the beautiful people on this Thursday, April 23, 2020.  One more Thursday before the month comes to an end.  Then, we can begin with the month of May.
Are you watching your online bank account or watching the pile of mail to see if that so called "Stimulus Check" has come?   Can you be stimulated without the check?
I really had to laugh at myself when this title came across my mind this morning.  I'm just feeling a little quirky and being a girl who just wants to have some fun today.  Believe me, there is no check from me to you.  I only have my creative inner self to help you in this capacity.
I had to check with "Google" to find some information that I could help myself to understand and use to inspire you to read this commentary.
Here is what I got from vocabulary.com:
If the economy is starting to stall, the president can't just sit there. He has to stimulate—turn it on, bring it to life, perk it up. You can stimulate practically anything: a person, a conversation, a mind, or even the growth of a plant.
Stimulate is often used to describe a physical or sexual sensation, but don't get bogged down in that kind of thinking. Often, a government will try to stimulate economic activity by creating a stimulus package. Or, say, for example, that I'm trying to sell my new song CD. In order to stimulate interest, I need to send out a sample song to all my friends. Unless, of course, my songs are no good.
I'm trying to stimulate your creativity with my card creations and hope that they will inspire you to produce something the same or similar to what you see here:
"Father God, help us to encounter each day with confidence & complete trust that You will provide our every need, Amen

WAY MAKER
Miracle Worker
PROMISE KEEPER
light in the darkness
MY GOD
THAT IS WHO YOU ARE

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Psalm 46:1

"To be creative, one must play"
I made this one this morning. 
I'm adding this one on https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com

"Only a MOTHER  can communicate Love Without Saying A Word"
The first Mother's Day card for 2020.  Many more to come


Ladies and gentlemen, I hope something you see here today will stimulate you into being creative either in card making or some other venue to inspire others to do the same.  I realize that not everyone can make cards so whatever you can do (cook, sew, sing, dance, etc.) to get others up and going, please do so.

Sending you some stimulating love,
Lois

What a great collection of cards! I agree with your sentiment that to be creative, one must play! I wish I had more time to play around! I must say that you have made great use of your time and your creative abilities.

There is so much fun detail in all of these projects, still, I think To Be Creative is my favorite. I just love the colors. So muted and yet so very powerful!
