JAN to JeanR and Kate

Somehow, these two names were hiding and I thought I was done with this style after I did Juliana's - and then discovered I had two more. I was pretty happy to have two more chances to do something I loved. These came close to being the January winners - but, I spelled Jean's name wrong 

and Kate's has too much white space. I added white around the hearts and some dots and forgot to take another photo. I wish I had put some kind of border around the edge of the envelope. And that I is too short. Maybe if the name had been larger....or if I had a larger marker..... it looks sooooo unfinished. Grrrrrrr

Although, I have an idea for those circle stamps....

so much second guessing...

I do know, for sure, that doing a bunch of these really led me in a direction that I enjoyed. The old historical styles do not lend themselves to being bouncy and contemporary. Or do they.

Nobody knows. It's personal taste.

Bottom line...

I like the idea of just one or maybe two styles per month and then a variety of tools....

It's Jan 9th as I write this.

Maybe I should start on some suns.....

Now it is Jan 27th and I am proof reading.

Four days to get my Feb envelopes done - yikes - the time flies. 

Why didn't I start my suns on the 9th?
Grrrrrrr
