Unity Friends with Flair


Hello Unity Friends with Flair, it has been a long time since I have participated here.  I hope to be back to posting more regularly in 2014.  I had some Phyllis Harris stamps that I have not "played with" yet and I needed to few cards to send out in today's mail. Since these were going out in the regular mail, I needed to keep them relatively flat for proper delivery without the extra fee.

Stamps:  Your Wings Exist, Phyllis Harris Unity; Pretty Little Scripture, Clear Dollar Stamps
Tools:  Spellbinder dies ( A2 Fancy Postage Stamp, Ribbon Tag Trio Two and Lattice Rectangles
Techniques:  inked background with Tim Holtz distress inks and colored image with Copic markers

On bottom card I used dp by MME and sticky stitches (I have had for about a thousand years).
I am a hoarder of all things beautiful.  I collect them to use on projects and then cannot bring myself to use them because they are too pretty.  Is there anyone out there like me?  I have decided to start using the beauties in my stash.  How about you?  Some of you are fantastic about using "all things beautiful"   and I am envious of you.  I must break my need to hang on to everything, now is the time.
I read on someones blog that they were going to try to send out 365 cards this year, not one everyday, but maybe several  a few days a week.  I loved this idea and would like to try it myself.  I am not sure if I will be able to reach 365 but I would like to come close.  I know I love to receive "real" mail that is not a bill, or advertisement etc... I would love to receive a card, handwritten by a friend.  It always brightens my day, so I am going to make and send out cards to touch the people in my life and hopefully cause a few smiles along the way.  These two cards are my first of hopefully many more to come, I mailed them out today.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend.
