Sealed with a Kiss
Sent with Love is a special bundle available for a limited time. When I first saw it, words like patriotic, masculine, soldiers came to mind. Mostly I sure because of the airplanes. But after studying it for a while, I saw past the airplanes and noticed that it also had some lovely soft colors that were perfect for us gals. So with paper & stamp set in hand, I came up with this sweet card that sends a powerful message from my softer side. Aah, the memories of a younger day when cards were sprayed with perfume, sealed with a kiss and sent air mail.

Judy’s Birthday
My good friend & peep Judy Sumner had a birthday and I made this card for her. I managed to deliver it to her a day early when our Pieces of Heart Demonstrator Group met for our monthly dinner. I absolutely love the Print Poetry Paper Stack. It has some beautiful prints that coordinate so well together. Perfect for layering—all 14 of them just on the front—but who’s counting?

Penny-Farthing
The old British Penny and Farthing (quarter & penny) coins inspired the name of the Penny-Farthing bicycle. I never really knew that. Looked it up on my go-to Wikipedia. This card is the second in my Sale-a-brations series using the awesome Feeling Sentimental set. I’m just not sure how I am going to be able to live without this set when it retires in just a few weeks.
