JAN to Jessica, Amy, Janet and Judi


Jessica's is basically the same as the 5 that ran yesterday.
Because I have quite a few fox stamps saved up for Amy - I was happy to pull out some different colors and was pretty happy with this one. When I realized that there was no way to extend the X - I fussed for a moment and then realized that it was a perfect opportunity to put in a bordered stamp - so that saved the day.


Bordering stamps is something we see on Janet's envelopes quite often. I added confetti.




I was thinking I was nicely warmed up and first-time exchanger, Judi, would get something wonderful. Unfortunately, she has too many letters in her last name. The whole thing got overworked as I tried to doo-dad it into a better place.

It takes me a while to get comfortable with names. If Judi sticks with the exchange, I can see me referencing past envelopes I've done for Irene Blumenthal who also has 10 letters in her last name. Of course there is the queen of long names - Jessica Schwessinger. I'm not complaining about long names - I like figuring out ideas that work for the various lengths. I read recently that sometimes there is more enjoyment when the task is difficult. 

Thank you Morgan for the good idea. I had fun. If anyone uses this idea, send us a picture please and thank you.
