April of Designs Of Artisan Blog created a Handmade Postcard Swap event last November. I was pretty excited about it since a month before that I just joined Postcrossing (I sent ready-made postcards for that though). Snail mail is still the best. Most especially if they are handmade. I'm thankful for those people who still find meaning in snail mails! :)
We have to make two postcards for two people and we'll receive two from them as well. Although I am not so artsy enough, I managed to create something handmade. I wanted to paint but the idea of making a design made up of cut outs would be lovely (also because I suck at painting, haha). So, I decided to create a hot air balloon-inspired card for Rochelle and Aya.
Also, at the back of the postcard, I wrote a haiku about hot air balloons.
Slowly going high
up across the sunny sky.
Watch birds travel by.
I hope someday I could ride in a hot air balloon and watch over the world like a boss. :p
P.S. Merry Christmas!! :)
Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Debbie!!
ReplyDeleteScrap booking and home made Christmas cards are very personal and there fore a lot more meaningful when you think about the hands that created them.
I love it.
Good Job!
Exactly. It is more special knowing that someone really though hard for a design. Thanks ;)
DeleteI am sure your friends would be happy to receive warmhearted cards. I am one of them who miss snail mails.
ReplyDeleteHow personal and special hand-made cards are!
Happy holidays!

Would love to send you one! ;)
DeleteA card is so much more special than an email, wouldn't you say?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! It's way, way, way better. Plus, it's more meaningful in so many ways like the handwriting <3
DeleteI couldn't agree more.
