Lucky

So I'm a day late, but I hope everyone had a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day! I enjoyed a lovely computer-free day of sunshine, family, and green desserts! Cheers!

Card A Day #3

Fun but bulky paper-covered buttons pop off this monochromatic card I made sometime last year. To make the buttons, I used a kit meant for making fabric-covered buttons and dampened the paper to make it more flexible. I snipped off the button shank and added self-adhesive foam mounts. I like to make my own embellishments whenever I can. I am often disappointed in the quality of the ones available for purchase. I love tabs, buttons, and layers of paper on my cards, as I am sure you will see be the end of the month! This design is from "The Cardmaker's Workbook" by Jenn Mason. I hope it's masculine enough to use as a boy's birthday card because it is going in the mail soon.

The Mailing of the Green

Sent off to my brother Patrick

Sent off to Send Me A Million Postcards

I didn't get much mail art made in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but I did send a few other cards I had on hand to family and friends with a bag of Irish Breakfast Tea tucked inside. I enjoyed a cup this morning. The leprechauns visited the refrigerator last night: we found green milk, green Jell-o, and green pudding this morning.

My goal since I discovered Send Me a Million Postcards about a month ago is to send them a card every week. So far, so good. I'm alternating between store-brought and handmade. If you haven't sent them anything yet, join in the fun!
