First Handmade Postcard

I participated in a swap with Swap-bot to make a handmade postcard.

This is my first try at this.

The theme was the month of January and what it means to you.

Since that is my birthday month I made this card.

It made it alright through the mail

and the recipient liked it.:) 

This is the card I received for this swap.  

It's made of fabric and sewn all the way around the edges.

It's kind of hard to see, but it also has stars and January 

sewn on it.

Pretty neat, huh!

Outgoing Mail Art

I made this envie out of scrapbook paper and then

added some 'Gone with the wind' pictures and 

rubber stamps.

Drawing on Envelopes

This is my attempt at drawing on some envelopes.  

I'm not much of an artist as you can see, but the receivers seemed to like them

and that's all that matters!

Hopefully I'll get a little better at this in time, lol?

Happy Valentine's Day

Wow, I'm sooo behind with my blogging.  It's been a bit crazy here.  Wanted to show some of the Valentine's card I received these last few days.  They all come from participants from the North American February Round Robin.  A big 'Thank you' goes out to Lori, Cardiffgal and Emotis.  Love the cards!
Happy Valentine's Day to all!  Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Christmas ATC Swap

After making my first ATC, I felt a little bit more sure and joined the 'Christmas ATC' swap on Swap-bot.  This time I had 2 partners.  I think they turned out ok, but I still feel like such a beginner.  Since, I can't draw at all (just stick people lol),  I have been just cutting, gluing and embellishing.

Somehow, after all these years, I'm trying to bring my creative side out, if I have one, lol.

My very first ATC

After a long time looking at and admiring the ATC's (Artist Trading Cards), that I've seen all over the internet, I finally decided to give it a try, even though I'm not very creative.  I joined a swap on Swap-bot, called 'Embellish those ATC's.  I really had fun making it.

Here is my very first ATC.  I made a butterfly theme, since my swap partner likes them.

The title is "Carefree"

What do you think of it?

Letter Writers Alliance

Yeah, I received my membership for the Letter Writers Alliance.
