Bonus postcards & bonus link





I received this one from MissiveMaven... I couldn't wait until October to post this one, so how about a little Halloween received in January and blogged in February!



And some fun washi tape and sticker action on the back. Great stamp, too, celebrating the bicentennial of the Library of Congress (a stunning building, well worth a visit).

One from Karen. the outer layer is a transparency of some kind - very cool in person.


And some great vintage stamps.


From Honi C.

A happy new year from Liberty.

Nancylee sent this pretty winterscape. Hey, that could be the post office's next 'scape' set, to go with cloudscapes and earthscapes.

A bright collage from Jazzie.

The scan isn't going to do this one justice at all.



Julie created this postcard using five different fabrics, then used a sewing machine to make neat edges. I wouldn't even know how to turn a sewing machine on!



She used the Nevada statehood stamp to complete the theme.

Another one from Honi C

'Stolen page 176'. The flower Hester added to this page makes me think of a strelitzia


Hester used a great Alexander Calder stamp to send this one - even more fitting as the year of the Horse draws to a close.

Bright orange and fuschia bicycles from Rose.



More color to cheer up a dreary February from Terrie.

Bonus link to two articles from the designer of the upcoming Summer Harvest stamps, Michael Doret. I think the design of these is great. I wish it had included a couple of the originals - the lemon and pineapple ones in particular.

New markers and snow


Cathy liked her Wilt envelope. I had sent her a note admiring the snowflake border on her paper, and she sent me a whole bunch of it - love it. This was also an excuse for her to try out her new markers.

Envelope 627 - pineapples


This one is made from a paper shopping bag, and sent to Carina in Finland.

Any sharp eyes/minds recognize which store the bag is from?

I like the simplicity of this envelope from Gina.



And a great card inside featuring a sketch by Gina.
