Wintry to Nava

This is a converted env. where I had lettered "Snow" with a folded pen and tried to also draw a snowflake (from one found online).  So glad I bought the snowflake stamps too!


Back flap

I also sent her a mini book I tried to fashion from a failed lettering piece, but it was rather flimsy and not the best. However, some parts are very fun!

I love the cover. When trying to paint over the lettering, I didn't like how it was going so I added "WINTER" on vellum (K Caps), plus a couple of snowflake stickers.

This quote was a fail (need to work on my spacing!!)

and I LOVE this spread!!! My lettering turned out awesome (I must say. ;)

close ups of quote






And the back page. The sticker kept coming off.  :/

Back cover. Not the best.

Vday to Meg & Maggie


Meg was another I got a surprise Vday env. from! So I quickly wrote her back and used some cut out hearts to paste on an env.




I did this one for Maggie's Feb. bday and at first, it looked too Halloween-ish so I had to end up covering with stickers (and sent the remaining ones to her).
I did a combo Vday theme.

Bday/ Vday to Dominique

Dominique shares her bday with my youngest so I thought that was a bit fun.
Because they're both so close to Vday, I decided to do a combo theme for her.

This was a failed lettering piece so I converted! (I cannot remember what I wrote in the t space area but I'm sure it was bday related.)

back flap

Before. It's the word, "romantic" and I then added, "Live a" and "Life" to create a quote.


Live a Romantic Life full of Love.

Vday to Judy (in Espanol!)

 

I had such fun with this env. as I created a similar one for a bday too (scroll!).
I love the colors and the lettering collage.

The theme was "Spread Love" (in both inglesa and Espanol!  :)😊

Close up of collage. 
Script lettering with Posca, thick K Caps with Pilot Parallel, the Bad Bunny quote in small print, thicker Posca and Espanol with pp in gold ink.

I also enclosed the Bad Bunny quote which I also did in both inglesa and Spanish.
However, my lettering is off/crooked. Ooops.


and on the back, Difundir Amor. (Spread Love in Spanish)

Flipped

Red Bday Collage (SMC)

I did a few bday env.'s for the SMC and I had fun with this one (although I forgot to take a pic with the stamp! Darn. (Wish I knew which one I used.)

A lettering collage inspired by my L Doctor class. Also added some Spanish b/c of Bad Bunny!

Before adding color. Script lettering with Posca, a Bday quote in small print, thick K Caps with Parallel pen, pp with gold ink and a thicker Posca at the end.
