Sharon (2) - burgundy birthday

At the end of May - when I put the call out for people to send photos for the blog - Sharon sent this batch and I think it will be fun to see them in order. I'm even going to copy and paste what she wrote about them. Her penmanship is so close to mine that for a second - I thought maybe I had done this one.

Inspired by your blog, I sent my niece Sophia 20 envelopes with enclosures to celebrate her twentieth birthday. I found it to be quite an undertaking, but lots of fun. If you’re thinking of this type of undertaking, my suggestion is to start early and allow yourself lots of time. Or pick a younger recipient!

When developing my envelopes, I usually have an idea of the lettering style I want to use, then I choose the stamp, and then the envelope. At least I feel that’s how my process works.
