Sending Hugs

I don't know about you, but when I open my mailbox, I get a lot of paper, but nothing I really enjoy receiving. It seems everybody stays in touch with technology these days, and sometimes it's depressing.  Isn't it fun to find a letter, or a cute card once in a while? This past week, I made a real effort to send out a few random cards, instead of an email. This is probably one of my absolute favorite cards I've ever made:


 
The colors are so soft, and the picture really doesn't do it justice. I sent this to my mom this week. I know she gets lonely, and I don't get down to Texas to see her often enough. I know she'll love this when she gets it.

Another fun card I sent this week was this:


I can't take credit for making this card. I received it in a swap with some other Close To My Heart consultants a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember who made this, so I cannot give her credit. The peacock is embossed with white, so this has a nice texture to it. And although you can't see in the picture, there are tiny pearls attached here and there. I sent this to my new penpal Jenny, from themodestpeacock.blogspot.com. I hope she'll enjoy this cute card!

I have such a stash of cards, just waiting to be mailed out. If you'd like to receive a random piece of happy mail once in a while, I'd love to send you some! Drop me an email with your snail mail address, and I'd love to share a smile. Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Pretty in Pink

It seems I've fallen a little behind sharing any of the cards that I've made lately. Yesterday I sorted through a basket of over one hundred handmade cards. I won't post them all today I promise! I'll only share one, and then I think I'll go put a couple of the spring ones out in today's mail.

I love the way this card turned out. The pink is soft enough to be subtle, the black and the sparkles add just enough pizazz.



Of the large supply of cards I have, it seems this is the only sympathy card left in my stash, which I hope won't get used any time soon.

It's raining here in Indiana today, I think it'll be a good day to play in my craft room. Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
