July to Patty and Lynne

I don't know what to say about these - they are a hot mess - but I had fun tossing around ideas. Sometimes I think of that one more thing to add - to pull things together. This time - the one-more-things just added to chaos. I chose to stop - even though there was still some white space.....  I covered up a navy A with that self adhesive paper for making your own mailing labels. Then I thought about covering up the T with a better green... but that would have made me redo the Y and at a certain point I have to stop.

I think the problem with Lynne's is that her name is too small. I should have covered up the Lynne and put a larger LYNNE in the space above Salierno - or - better yet - should have incorporated that vertical line that shoots up between her first and last name into the LYNNE. It's so annoying to see the solution two weeks after I mailed the envelope. The outlining on the zip code should have been bolder.

I thought the colors would work with the Goodnight Moon stamp - but I didn't leave enough room for the stamp - and the monster was a better choice for a stamp that has to overlap.
