Late for Facebook...

Hello, It's me Tera again...

Today, I am here to share another super fun and easy Mail Art Monday 

card and envelope set!

You know I love snarky mail, and this one is just too perfect for so many people...

(Myself included)

Stamps Used:

I was in my kitchen

Hands on face

I started with and A2 envelope and card base. 

I began by stamping my woman with her hands on her face on both the envelope, the card, and on scrap paper. (the scrap paper was to make the mask).

Next I stamped my sentiment on my card base then set this aside. 

Returning to the envelope, I covered my woman with the mask. I also created a mask for the address box from some scrap paper. 

With everything masked off, I began to add my background detail using a Tim Holtz shifter stencil with distress ink. 

When the background was complete, I removed my masks and colored my card and envelope with various alcohol based markers. 

I hope you all like this fun little set!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Button Button.. Who's got the button? {A Button Fairy Swap}

Hiya folks!!

Today I'm sharing an overabundance of beautiful art! Here are the results of our VLVS! Button Fairy Swap! We had an astounding number of participants and each day a new fairy arrived on my desk I was in total awe!!

Let's go to it shall we? Here they are in alphabetical order:

This blue boy is by Anne Squire -- this stamp is long retired but still a  favorite among those who snatched him during his sale days!!

 Autumn Renault sent in this beauty! The wings on it are all metallic and glossy - super cool! She kept the Bandana Dog as the focal point for her fairy.

 Barb Rankin chose a glorious steampunky style using our Vintage Fan Lady on a Balloon stamp. The feel is vintage, nostalgic, and super pleasing.

 Cheryl Lindsey wows us with this monochromatic gal.

 Chris McAdams used our Brick Background stamp to create the luxurious texture of her fairy's wings.

 I decided to use our newest Octopus/Cephalopod stamp as the being portion of my fairy.

 Gerrie Johnnic's fairy is sure to delight and create whimsy with the Skinny Girl.

 Jennifer Walker used our Crackle Background to add some enchant to her wings.

 Lyneen Jesse has a love for steampunk and her use of our Steampunk Couple shows it! Metallic-y goodness all around.

 Mary Vogel Lozinak is always a hit and her Clown Face button fairy is hilarious! 

 Michele Kosciolek used our Corset stamp and molded her own fairy heads!!

 Sandra Strait is astounding as usual with this Steampunk Dog Face canvas piece! 

and Shawn Hayden used our Weeping Angel Child  stamp(That split tail is AMAZING!) to finish us off! Fitting as that's the end of our button fairy swap.

But never fear!! We have ANOTHER swap going on ALREADY!! We'll be altering MATCHBOXES! So join us in our facebook group, read up on the info and let us know if you'd like to participate!

Let's make a deal....

My mom was a game show junkie. 

 She didn't watch soaps, but she watched every, and I mean every,

 game show out there when I was growing up. 

I'm telling my age a bit, but I remember watching "Let's make a Deal" with 

Monty Hall.  As a kid I loved watching that one because of all the

crazy costumes people wore.  

The best part was watching people trade off what they had already won for what was behind the infamous doors 1, 2 or 3.

Sometimes their trading didn't turn out as expected.....but it was very fun to watch.

As soon as I saw this sentiment (#3906) I thought of those fond memories.....

my mom yelling at the T.V. telling the contestants what they should do....

her stopping her household chores long enough to watch the show....

All the while wishing she was one of those contestants.

If my mom was around today I would send her this card

 as a reminder of the fun times we had watching those silly shows.

More details about this card:

'Can I trade this job' sentiment #3904

Calling woman  #6914

Danger sentiment #6172 (stamped onto the DSP)

Card base is baby blue with a black mat and DSP (w/houses) 

I hand cut the cloud and added glitter around the edges.

I adhered it all together using Miracle Tape.

I pop dotted the woman and the cloud. 

This is my first post as a new member of the new

 Design Team of Viva Las Vegastamps!

They have stamps to please any stampers taste buds.

Stop by there and give them a look-see!!!
