Love Letters 2023 Valentine Exchange

[Erica McPhee]

I really enjoyed this exchange. I went beyond my comfort zone and tried some new techniques. I decided to do mini-folders with a bookmark, exemplar tag, and a "specimen" card. This definitely took some time but every minute gave me such enjoyment. I also included a little sneak peak of the new "passionate flourish" script capitals I am including in my upcoming book (hopefully, some day  ).

I also received a really LOVELY bunch of Valentines from my listmates. Thank you all so much for participating!

P.S. The faux stamps are a free download from The Graphics Fairy.

Please share your exchange below if you'd like.

Receiving your exchange in the mail @Erica McPhee was such a treat! One I will cherish. You went above and beyond with this one.
I really enjoyed this exchange as well. I saw this bear online but without a pattern so I 'reverse-engineered' it, which was fun. Uploaded the design to my Cricut and then assembled.
No where near as time-consuming as your project Erica, but it took enough time as well. Thoroughly enjoyed myself though! My motivation was my nieces. I made a much simpler version for them.

I agree, Erica your valentines were a dream to receive and appreciate! I'm still admiring all the detail that went into such gorgeousness! 

Star, your valentine touched my heart! Thank you so much for your beautiful and creative card!

I can't seem to find where I saved my valentine pics, bummer. Thank you all for your amazing mail! Snail mail truly is the best!

@Starlee - Your bears are absolutely delightful!!! And so much work to reverse engineer and then use the Cricut and then assemble and then do the calligraphy! Your Spencerian is beautiful!
