Happy Sunday! Yay to my first blog post, this is so exciting! I've just finished up making cards for Kristina Werner's August mail call. I made one for last month which got shuffled in with the ones that did not get a mention. I'm determined to get a mention this month so I'm sending two to better my chances of a nod. I'm sending it out tomorrow and now I have to wait until the end of the month to find out if my humble little cards made the cut. Here's a look at the cards...

Yes, I know my adhesive is showing...damn vellum! This one is made with Studio Calico's Teacher's Pet. Sequins are from Lawn Fawn.  Next...

This little guy is also made with the Teacher's Pet stamp set. The apple is from the Favorite Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp (a little technique I learned from the amazing Jennifer McGuire). Wood veneers are from Freckled Fawn and the stitched circle is from Lawn Fawn's Stitched Party Banners die set and the twine is Lawn Fawn's as well. Now for a little brown nosing...

I made a quick card to say thanks for doing her awesome mail call and for all the giveaways she does. Stamp set is from Neat & Tangled, called Gifts for You. I did some tone on tone stamping with those little flowers and some Avery Elle Sea Glass pigment ink. Those little flowers look better without my crummy lighting. The giant ampersand brad is from My Mind's Eye.

Here's everything. I ended up embellishing the envelopes a bit because I love those happy details. I hope she likes them. I hope you like them too. :)
