Postcards!

As you likely know, if you've visited here often, I'm a member of Postmark'd Art.  We are in the throes of our 20th exchange.  I believe I joined them during Round 11.  It's been great fun, and this time, I signed up for THREE themes.  Usually I choose my favorite, or when I'm really feeling inspired, I choose two.

My first set went into yesterday's mail.  These are my "No Theme" cards, which means the sky's the limit.





As you can probably tell, I have trouble throwing anything away.  Especially pretty selvedges with fun writing.

I also sent off this independent card to one of the group.  I coveted her creations from Round 19's White on White, and we agreed to swap outside PMA.  I finally finished mine and mailed it off yesterday.  Can you tell I still have wedding on the brain?  One piece of silk was from my wedding dress, as was the lace.  Pretty.  I think I need to make another.
 The tail is actually a tail, that drops off the right side.  I didn't realize it had curled in on the card until it was in the hands of the USPS.  I think it's a pretty little thing, and it makes me smile.  For the first time ever, I've grouped buttons "randomly," and they don't look stiff or planned.  yay!  Can't wait to see what I sew up next!

I have not gotten that bad as to save my selvages. I did save some to give to a friend if I found them interesting. (snowmen, tulips, etc.)

I made a journal cover from selvedge. Love your postcards! Tiny works of art.
