Postcards, Greeting Cards Sent and Items Received - January 5 & 7, 2015

Hi and hello!

Happy New Year, once again.  I guess I won't get tired of greeting everyone a Happy New Year for this 1st 2 weeks of the month of January.  . . . . unless until the Chinese New Year comes in.

Here I am, sharing photos of postcards and greeting cards sent and received for 2 days - January 5 and 7, 2015:

The very first mail I sent for the New Year 2015 was to the Singapore Philatelic Museum.  Added are Christmas Holiday mails by my dad, which I happily affixed Christmas or Pasko 2014 postage.

Pro-cards for Postcrossing RR Swap Group

Sharing my very 1st professional themed or thematic cards / postcards printed on a small-scale for personal use only.

Here's how my working table looked like while preparing for my 3 self-designed postcards shown above:

I rest in the thought that my Darice stamping mat is still with me though I ended up not utilizing any stamping on the front or face of my printed cards. And on some days or a year, my stamping mat would go missing.

The Darice stamping mat is the very first and only set of 3-item winnings from a sponsor outside Colorful Creation or other than Colorful Creations design team members. The winnings I had earned as a prize from Colorful Creations, a US scrapbook site forum in year 2010 with an opportunity to choose from CropStop US Online Store. It's in Colorful Creations where I started and had been active until year 2011 and less active in year 2012.
 
Sent out cards {photo below}:

Already thinking if succeeding printing will occur within the year (for personal use again), I'd be adding inset photos of challenge blog's logo and my signature photo as the designer. ;P Thinking of the overall design as to placement of logo and etc. {sigh}  Better yet, the sketch design of the card from the card sketch challenge on the front and the logo with photo a stamp at the back. =)  hmmmm. . .  I hope I'd get to doing such and have enough time to do so.  

Really looking like first day covers from me. :) 

Anyway, I'm already excited to receive my RR co-participant's own professional cards.

Good morning!!
