Smiles Sent Saturday~4/28/18~Various

Just thought I'd share some various envelopes I've sent lately, no real theme.



Thinking of you card with dragonfly on it.  Tried to do "water" themed stamps.



This Easter card had flowers in blocks like this, so I tried to copy it to the envelope.



I was using re-printed vintage, business stationary to write a note with something about canal boats, so I tried to go with vintage looking stamps, and modified a label I found at The Graphic's Fairy.  By finding a place that let me make a "monogram" of my initials.




My attempt at tulips to match paper.





Trying to copy the design on the card, plus "migrating" geese stamps!



Just a simple way to embellish an envelope, plus vintage pink stamps.

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

Smiles Sent Saturday~4/21/18~LetterMo

I haven't posted in a while, I've been sending a good bit of mail, just short on time to record it.  So, here's some mail from when I participated in the Month of Letter's Challenge.



This was a Valentine's Day card with that blueish color and paper airplanes.  The envelope was simple enough, but I think it turned out cute!



This was actually the first piece of mail I sent for LetterMo 



When I have dark envelopes, I like to use a label in hopes of it being easier for the machine reading addresses to see what I wrote.




I enjoyed using the ice-cream stamps!




This was one of my favorite envelope designs-it matched  the card and was so cute and cheerful!



Having fun with vintage stamps!




A couple different envelopes trying to match the same card.




I thought this envelope turned out cute and matched the card.  Sadly, this was the last piece of mail I got to send my uncle who passed away last month.   So far this year, 3 people I wrote regularly passed.

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