What is a YmaD?

"Yma" is "Amy" backward. "D" is for my last name, Doyle. YmaD was a childhood nickname and I hated it. But I decided to embrace it when my budding greeting card business needed a name.

Earthquake!

I don't have a card that says "glad you survived the earthquake." (And I really don't even want to think about designing one of those!)  Maybe a card of thanks is in order........none of my friends and family on the east coast were hurt or experienced any damage.

Home Is Where Your Story Begins


It's wonderful to receive feedback on my cards.

My cousin Carla recently ordered a variety of cards.  She specifically asked for a "new home" card for a friend who would soon be moving.  According to the friend, "Thank you so much for the beautiful card - a work of art."

Thanks for the feedback!  It's nice to know that my efforts are appreciated.

Good Wishes!

I'm sending good wishes to myself today.  Not only does this card have one of my favorite embossing patterns, but I colored the flowers with "Smooch" pearlized accent ink.  I love that name!
