A few more cards to send out for April Letter Writing month. I didn't realize just how much time it takes to address and write in each card. Making each card is fun and time just gets by while being creative. However when it comes to writing the notes inside each card it takes a lot more time and thought than I realized. For the past several days I have been doing not much else as I get these ready for sending.
This is the Easter card I made and sent to my special "blog pal". I had fun with this one. Darn those jelly beans on the paper always make me hungry. LOL
These are like the top one I did in purple but these are done with a copper embossing powder. I love this stamp and have owned it for many years. I believe it was made by Magenta.The recipients of my cards might be surprised as I have tucked something inside them.
Tomorrow I shall take my armload of cards to the post office where I shall probably faint when I hear the total I owe for mailing my fun cards. Several different states and a couple of different countries are the destinations. I just know the cards will brings smiles to those opening them.
As for my FOCUS? Well, things do come along that are not in the line of what we planned. I am working on my jewelry designs. I am merely much slower than I should be. I shall have an update on what I have been doing by the end of this week.
Enjoy your days and do what makes you the happiest. For me it is puttering in my studio and sewing rooms. What makes you happy?
It makes me happy to have time to visit my favorite blogs to get inspired!
ReplyDeleteI like the jelly bean liner.
Oh my! What an ambitious undertaking!!! Those cards are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell sewing and gardening makes me real happy when they are no outside pulls.. Your cards are exquisite and I really like them. I am not good with the scrap booking. But I love seeing others projects.
