Happy Mail!

I won a few blog contests, and received one of my boxes from the Speckled Egg's Petite Inspiration Flea Market box swap.

First up, I won a One World One Heart blog party prize from Lynn Stevens. I received this fabulous one of a kind pendant she made from an old spoon. It came in this beautiful stamped canvas envelope she made.

I also won a Valentine's Day prize from The Scrappy Tree. These mini cards were made by my sweet friend Diana. They are perfect for writing little love notes.

Also from The Scrappy Tree, I won the Create a Heart for Hope challenge and received these fabulous products from Graphic45 - two paper pads, trims, mini book, and cork embellishments. Thanks ladies!

And then yesterday, I received my first box for the Flea Market swap from Michele. She decorated the matchbox with a great vintage style and then filled it (almost over-flowing!) with all of this great stuff! I don't know how she managed to squeeze so much into such a small box. I should have her pack my suitcases when I travel!

It was a great week filled with wonderful happy mail! Thanks ladies for making my mid-afternoons brighter!

Blue Christmas

My friends over at The Scrappy Tree are hosting a challenge in honor of World Pneumonia Day. The challenge: create something using only the color blue. I made this little tag using beautiful blue cardstock and a new stamp from Unity Stamp Company.

I used blue ink to stamp the image and applied irradescent embossing powder. I stitched a blue seam binding ruffle and adhered it along with a punched snowflake. I added blue bling and eyelash trim to finish it off.

There's still time to enter the challenge, so head over to The Scrappy Tree and check it out!
