Big day in the library world today! The Newbery, Caldecott, and many other awards for children’s and young adult literature were announced today. You can read the full list of winners from Publisher’s Weekly. I’m happy about the choices, and looking forward to reading the ones I have not yet read.
It’s Monday, Newbery Monday, and of course, Mojo Monday! I really like today’s sketch, a square card:
I made mine a 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ square card, so it will still fit in a regular envelope. Did you know it costs more to mail a square envelope? The squareness confuses the machines. The great trick I learned is that if you mail a square card in a rectangular envelope it doesn’t cost extra! We are expecting another large snowstorm on Wednesday, so I needed to do something bright and cheerful! I was inspired by this card using the Wow Flowers set.
Stamps: Wow Flowers
Ink: Pacific Point, Pixie Pink, Green Galore
Paper: Pacific Point, Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Whisper White
Accessories: Pacific Point Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Green Galore brad
Wow Flowers is one of the stamp sets that is available in both English and Spanish.
Yummy, this is so bright and cheerful, it looks good enough to eat! What a treat!
Fabulous card – love the colours
