Abstract flower to Michelle (bday SMC)

For this one, I tried to match the card below (i bought in Galena, IL) however, it didn't turn out (I probably should have used crayon pastels and a rubbing.)

However, I still love the flower!

Alpha garden letters on the back.

 

Spring colors to Shannon

used my markers for this one. 

Various hands

did a little same on the back.

Green Owls to Darlene

 This was for the SMC bday list and Darlene had put she liked the colors green and blue and owls. SO here is what I sent!

Automatic pen with white India ink

owl quote

and a blue owl on the back!

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.

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 abstract (SMC)

Did this for a Feb bday (and used the last of these fun LOVE stamps. Waaaa.)

And an insert to match.

Back flap

 

K Caps to Jillian (SMC bday)

continuing on with my K Caps, I did a fun variation for Jillian's bday env. And I lettered in teal ink to match the stamp. (pink and teal fun!)

Love these snowflake stamps for winter

And the back -- bday wishes (although not as good as the front)

bday to Rachelle (SMC)

I signed up for the SMC monthly bday list, as I was SO blessed to get so many bday env.'s in early Dec. for my bday that I want to do so for others. 

This is rather plain (I may add color to it, but also, I like the plainness of it).  Decided to do her name in a mixture of fonts/hands.

I did add color to the back and a fun design with "happy BIRTHDAY" also added in pp and K Caps.

And a fun HB letter with her name in pp.

 

HNY to Lina (monoline on green)

Not really diggin' this as I did it in a hurry for Lina.

I want to create beautiful env.'s this year.

Monoline with bullet tip Posca.

happiness is... whatever makes you happy! (as long as it doesn't hurt others)

HNY. (even though so far it's been sh*t).

 

Cmas to Judy H

Had this matching set in my Cmas folder and decided to send to Judy this year. 

Stamp really doesn't match but oh well! (Love these lovely little elves!)

Also, tried some pp K Caps on the back!

 

Blue Festive to Lina & Shannon

I'm having such fun with my altered K Caps! (Roman K Caps?)

This layout/design was a Pinspo:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/284993482665728936/ 

No idea who orig. artist is though.  :/

Did a blue theme trying to match the blue in the stamp (but since I needed an additional stamp, I also could have done red).

and the back (Started out blue as there was leftover ink) then turned to green.

I also did a similar one to Grace (who also sent me bday wishes AND who also has a Dec. bday!) but I tried to do hers in more of a tree shape to match the stamp (a bit of a fail though. 😔)

And the flip side of Grace's

Ty to Jean R (Tree shape K Caps)

Jean sent me a belated bday card (I got it a week later, so it felt as though my bday was extended!) so here is my ty to her.

Tree shape with altered K Caps & 3d star sticker.
