Reused Wrapping Paper

Envelope made of wrapping paper, sent to Micu (Hungary).

Complete Series of Postcrossing Stamps!

When the second series of Postcrossing stamps were issued by Dutch Post last March, I expected to be lucky enough to get one or two of them. But not the whole series! Heleen (the Netherlands) has been sending them on different postcards and letters throughout the latest months. Now the series is complete and looks really, really gorgeous. I guess that many postcrossers would be envious.

I really love the design of these stamps, and the Dutch highlights chosen to illustrate them. The only think I find odd is... I didn't spot any cow on them! It seems impossible. Maybe a cow is hidden among the illustrations and I cannot see it...

I added this entry to Sunday Stamps - II. The theme of this week is postal related.

Red Tulips

I love this postcard sent by Heleen (the Netherlands) with one of my favourite flowers.

I was happy to have the right envelope to reply it. But I couldn't resist to draw my own version of the tulip...

And still more red tulips! I made this envelope of wrapping paper. Actually, it wrapped a present from Heleen, so I just gave her back part of it. The shaped stamp is almost invisible, isn't it?

Unbirthday Cards

Postcard sent by Heleen (the Netherlands). This is the second part of a wonderful birthday present. In fact, it was received some days after my birthday, so I can say it was an unbirthday present...

I received another unbirthday present... some days before my birthday, made by the little girls of my family:

The 80ies

Sent to Katarina (Hungary).

I made this collage to participate in the challenge #8 of Mail a Smile (see the gallery!). The theme was the 80ies, so I chose Naranjito, the mascot for the 1982 FIFA World Cup, hold in Spain. As all the children in those days, I felt in love with this little orange!

But I sent also this postcard of Madonna (made of bar codes of her CDs. Amazing, isn't it?), and an envelope with 80ies colours made of wrapping paper.

By the way, the theme for the Challenge #9 is Spain. You can participate until October 31st.
