So... work has been a bit stressful lately, to say the least, but my title refers to the Postage Challenge in the Moxie Fab World...and NOT to any impending death of a co-worker - lol! I also checked out the fabulous gallery of this week's Featured Stamper and it's none other than the ultra talented TracyMac! She has an amazing gallery and her coloring skills totally rock! I chose THIS CARD-Isn't She Lovely by TracyMac at Splitcoaststampers to CASE for the colors and the floral/leafy elements...just love her card! I had a lot of fun putting my card together...first came the postage Nestabilities, then the oldie but goodie SU set "Letters From Friends". I revived another relic from my archives by using this mini envelope stencil. While I was on a roll using some really old stamping supplies, I chose to cut out the 2 stamps with a decorative scissors! Gasp! Who uses those things anymore?! To add a pop of color, I added the green leafy flourish and some Melon Mambo roses. Hopefully, this will brighten the day of some dear friend!
STAMPS: Letters From Friends (SU), Blue Skies (Verve)-notebook page, Hope Blooms (Verve)-sentiment.
PAPER: White (PTI), Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Basic Gray, Twitterpated DP by SU

Great layout. Lots of elements but the balance is perfect.

Wanda, this is lovely - I like all the elements you have blended so very well. I enjoyed your comments as I tend to dig out oldies but goodies - and I do use scissors!
