February 2023 COTM

My card has left the building! …..the flower child

One of these days I will get the photo and message together in the same post.

the mail broke the little charm, I tried to piece it together for the photo.

For myself I just glued the little bow in place, so the red strips work.

title. Tree of life by Judikins.  Love this stamp!

marvy perm markers, shrink plastic, and Judikins heart cube used on envelope.

Love the tree and the way the roots spread out.  How was the shrink plastic used, Judi?  Great start to this month’s COTM!  Stay safe and healthy, hugs DebRN

I received my COTM this month from Sheila-Rose.  A lovely Geisha with a fan.  Sheila-Rose, you did a great job on the coloring!  I also really love the flower embossed background!  Thank you so much for the great COTM.  Stay safe and healthy, hugs DebRN

Beautiful card Judi. How great is nature! Looks like the shrink plastic was used on the embellishment. Nice work, Judi!….. the flower child

Sheila, I agree with Debbie, great job on the coloring. Love the embossed background. I need to break out mine and use them more. Nice work! ….the flower child

Look what I just received in the mail. A beautiful card from Wendy! Wendy also made me a paper clip with a breast cancer ribbon on it. Wendy made one for herself which she has on her refrigerator. How sweet is that! The title is Valentine. It’s a gatefold card. Wendy thank you very much. I love my card and your kindness…..the flower child 

My cute card from Debbie arrived ahead of all the weather we’re expecting.

So fun with the little Dog and Birdie…or is it a Seal…nope Dog…tail. My brain tends to go to marine mammals. Did you know that sealions are related to dogs? anyway…heehee, that’s a dog. Cute.

This is a gate fold card with the hearts attached to close. Inside saying is from Thoreau, “The language of Friendship is not the words but the meanings.”  Beautiful and SO true.

Thank you Debbie!!

LOVE everyone’s cards for this month. How fun.

Awwww Sheila, bummer the heart charm got crushed in the mail…I guess USPS has machines now…I thought if placed up high on the card, the machine would miss it. Hummm, I’ll have to read up to see if they still “hand cancel.” Haaa, probably but I bet it will be considered a package at that point. SIGH!! I have to put on my creative hat on this issue.

Lois you’re right…shrink plastic. I could’ve used a teeny rubber stamp, but of course I couldn’t find it.

Debbie…I designed this tree after the real one in the desert…I have to add to this post, because I can’t remember where it is. Dubai stands out? Somewhere in the Middle East I think.

Wendy, another clever gate fold card. Love how you teased us with the tools and products you were starting with. :O)

Alrighty…tons of fun. Looking forward to next week and March 2023. OOXX

Debbie, such a sweet card! It just makes you smile! Nice work…..the flower child
