Gone Postal!
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Serenity_Stamper

 I'm so excited and humbled to be a guest designer for the September "Going Postal" challenge on the Jingle Belles blog here:

http://jinglebellesrock.blogspot.com/

My original muse came for this idea because my sister worked for the postal service. The other inspiration was that, with my family being so remote, a large part of how I communicate with people is via cards going through the postal system.

I've been collecting all things postal for a long time: cancelled stamps, postoid stamps, postcard stamps, postcards, stencils -- you name it. This cancelled rose postage stamp called to me as a holiday image because that is the theme I use to decorate my family room. I have garland and roses on my mantel all december, and all throughout the house. The front door holds a wreath with roses, waiting to greet loved ones.

Thanks for taking a closer peek! And thanks to those great gals, Lauren and Stef, for the chance to participate!

I hope you're inspired to play along with this theme. I can't wait to admire all your lovely creations!!

Stamps: SU! Pines and Pointsettias; post card stamp (unknown)
Colors: SU! Early Espresso and Very Vanilla
Paper: SU! Early Espresso and Very Vanilla cardstock, Manila folder
Embellies: SU! fabric, SU! lace, SU! distressing inks, wreath charm (unknown). roses (prize stash from Lauren!), SU! postal stamp punch

Blessings!

i'm thinking the xmas card makers of the world are going to really have to "get their game on" in a biiiiiiig way if they want to create a postal masterpiece that approaches this one! i loooooooooooooove that gorgeous fabric background, and the rose theme, and that luscsious lace; it astonishes me that your entire beautiful card could be inspired by-- and have as focal point-- a postage stamp that's less than an inch square, but what a stamp it is, and what a talent you have!

thank you sooooo very much for the suggestion, for your lovely card, AND for making my blog-job so incredibly easy; what a pleasure to have you on the team with us this fortnight! ♥♥♥

Wowza girlfriend ... I adore that card ... and being married to a postal carrier, I too love all things postal ... heading off to hunt through my canceled stamps to see if there are some I can use in my next design. So very very glad you joined us at Jingle Belles with such a fabulous prompt.

Vintage at its best! I love your post office inspiration as the basis for yourcreation. I love all the detail. I used to live in Roseville and found myself in Rocklin many many times. It was just down the road for me.
