Happy Mail

Hello!

 Have you ever given or received Happy Mail?
Happy mail can be anything that you want it to be.

Many crafters give and receive things that can be used

in projects, what ever they may be.

I decided to share some things from my stash with my 

friend Mary and made up a little envelope of 

items to use in her junk journal making.

She has gotten me into making junk journals too.

This is the card I made and sent with the goodies.
I used some of my stash of eco-dyed papers to 

make this card.  I thought 'be creative' was perfect 

for this card for her.

These are some of the items I sent her,

most of them are from old books or catalogs

that I have collected. There are some stickers in there too.

I had some die cuts that I cut for her and some pieces of 

papers and cork, tags and cards and a bit of ribbon.

You never know what you can use in a junk journal,

anything goes.
Hopefully she will be able to use these goodies and

enjoy them.

Thanks for popping over today and spending some time

with me.  
Have you gotten into the junk journal craze?
I love making them and seeing what I can come up with

using some of my "junk"

Come again soon and I'll show you some pages from one

of the junk journals that I recently made.

Until then,

check out junk journalling videos and see if it's 

something you'd enjoy.

Give Thanks

Hello crafty people, I hope you're having a beautiful day.

It's getting to that time of year that we need to think

about making several kinds of cards.

Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Today I'm showing you a card I made to send my

Aunt Marilyn for Thanksgiving.

All the supplies came from my stash and actually 

the leaves were punched from some pieces that I had 

put into my recycle box.  Those little scraps did come in

handy.

I used my Silhouette to cut the Give Thanks 

using the Keep On Truckin font.

The inside is blank, as I usually do.

I will write a personal note to her rather than 

stamp a greeting.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Have you started any of your holiday cards?

Come again soon.

Until then,

be thankful.
