Hello from New Zealand! I'm delighted to be joining in with the team at Around the World on Wednesday. This team of wonderful crafters hop on the second Wednesday of each month with a whole lot of inspiration for you on a theme. This month, the theme is "You've Got Mail: It's All About the Inside."
Before I get to that, a little more about the Around The World on Wednesday team. The team is selected so that there's someone from every timezone in the world where Stampin' Up! operates - so it really is Around the World! In fact, the world is so big that when I post this blog, it will almost be Thursday for me. I'll be setting it to publish at 11pm Wednesday night.
Anyway, here we all are. At the end of the blog, there's a list so that you can jump directly to a particular crafter or get back on track if you're lost.
So... you've got mail. Isn't is lovely to open the letterbox and find some handcrafted goodness, instead of the rates bill or some junk mail? Of course, the anticipation only begins with the envelope. For me, it's what's inside that gets me curious.
The project I'm sharing with you looks like almost any Congratulations card at the start, with maybe some extra anticipation in having to undo a bow to get to the inside.

ReplyDeleteHi Jan, thanks for your comment over at my blog earlier. You mentioned the De Vinci stamp and I thought you might like to know more. It is an old stamp, like most of my collection it is more than 10 years old more like 15 - 20years old. It came from Rubbadubbadoo Stick 'N Stamp range. These were rubber mounted on magnetic sheets for use with their magnet mounts. At that time there were many different unmounted techniques were being tried most of which fell by the wayside as these did. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for that information. I recognised it as a ds Vinci drawing when I saw it and as I have an interest in art history, did wonder about it appearing as a stamp.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous project and keepsake!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-)
DeleteOh wonderful mini! It's just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove how you created the special album
