Got Mail?

I like the idea of sending out lots of happy mail at a time like this, and that's when blank cards or all occasion cards come in handy.  This weekend I colored the last of my not-yet-colored Alex Syberia digis.  It's appropriately called Happy Mail.  I colored with Copics and you can probably tell I didn't spend a whole lot of time on the coloring, but that's what I love about it -- it doesn't have to be complex to be pretty.

The pink splattery background was cut with an ages old Spellbinders die.  It was laying around, plain white, needing to be used, but a little spiffing up was required, so I brushed on some Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink and splattered with lightly dilute white acrylic paint.  Another ancient Spellbinders die was used to cut the sentiment.  All the parts were put together with a little strip of designer paper onto a wood grain cardstock base.

Honestly, I'm not finding more time to craft because of "staying at home".  I still have a house and garden to care for, I have a husband and two dogs.  I cook, do laundry, clean a room now and then, take the dogs out, do the online banking and bill paying.  Yesterday I made the first three months of our yearly photo book and I ordered a new (and awesome) compact camera to carry in my pocket when we go out with the dogs.  I read, watch movies, text and email with friends, the list goes on... and sometimes I make cards.  It's a small town life.  Not so bad right now.

Sending wishes for good health and happiness.  Be safe and find contentment in the little things if you can.  Hugs!
