Smiles Sent Saturday~January 30, 2016

I was so excited when I saw the "From Me to You" stamps were coming, and bought them pretty early.  But...I kept not using them, then this week, I used two this week!

This one was for a birthday card with arrows, I thought the words on the stamp went well with the arrows. 

This card had a cat on it, and I found this old stencil to use...I just picked the stamp for the color...and because I'd been wanting to use. :)

I'm excited to be getting ready for the "Month of Letter's Challenge" starting Monday!!!  I'm also glad to have my sister trying it out this year!

The name “Smiles Sent Saturday” denotes my hope these things I mailed made the people who got them smile.

Just one interesting envelope to share this week.  Should have more to share soon with the Month of Letters Challenge coming up next month.

I loved how I was able to find the stamps to coordinate and the penguin turned out cuter then I expected when I colored it in!

I only have one envelope to share today...the envelope we sent a birthday card to a great aunt in.  Kind of simple, but the vintage stamps really make it pop!

I'm also working on writing a multi day/page letter.  and trying to get organized for the A Month of Letters Challenge and Easter cards.

Smiles Sent Saturday~1/9/16~New Year's

I really liked this Charlie Brown stamp.  The only way I could figure out how to work it in to an overall design, was to decorate the envelope upside down!  That way the address & stamp were in the right places.  This is how it looked when being mailed:
This is how it looked with the illustration right side up:

And here's my New Year's envelopes:

For a card with fireworks 

Another envelope design for the same card design 

For a balloon card

Here's just another couple envelopes of birthday cards I've sent recently:
