Bonus holiday envelopes 485, 552, 553, 612 and 613

A few bonus holiday catalog envelopes sent out before Christmas.

To Eva, one from the Philatelic. I always find it hard to break up the four stamps - three would have been enough.

To NancyLee, one from Paper Source

To Trula, another from Philatelic

To Julie S, Circus stamps from the Philatelic catalog

And another paper source to Adrienne

Karen's exchange - part 1

I received an invitation to Karen N's envelope exchange. Initially I was reluctant, but then went ahead with it. And a major bonus for me was the arrival of another Paper Source catalog - wow, that company likes to make you aware of its holiday wares!

To Joi and Kathy

To Kathy and Jonelle

To Julie and Miki

To Bernie (ha, can't believe how perfect Johnny is here)

And I thought they made a nice group photo.

Not one of the envelopes.... gingerbread house stamps.

This is a bit of an aside for my blog, but I saw these cards on sale in Target and sure enough, the envelopes go really well with the gingerbread house stamps. The red cards have Thank you written on them, the blue cards have nothing. I liked this design a lot, so snapped them up.

The envelopes also work well with the 2012 Santa Claus + reindeer stamps (it's after Christmas, so I used the one stamp that doesn't have any of the above on it - just a nice snowy village).

Stay warm if you're experiencing the winter storm!
