Last year I read with interest about Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art project, but didn’t do anything about participating. This year I signed up early, but let the printing of the postcards sit on the back burner for too long. I finally ordered 4 different prints from Zazzle, and I have to say their customer service has been wonderful. Nonetheless, the order came in two parts, and I was nervous enough that I got the first set in the mail to Kat before the rest arrived. The very next day, of course, the remaining postcards arrived here. In the end, I’m happy with the photo that I sent along with a greeting from my garden.
Kat has over 150 participants in this year’s swap. I can’t imagine trying to organize all those packages, but I’ll be excited to get my postcards from other participants when I get home from our road trip. I made a card for Kat, and wrote a note thanking her for doing this. Now I have three sets of postcards I can use for thank-you notes or encouragement notes. I would never have done this without the push a new project gave me.
Almost all the products on this card are from Papertrey Ink. The exceptions are the patterned paper from Teresa Collins’ World Traveler paper pack, and the camera stamp from Studio Calico.
We’re having too good a time to spend much time trying to edit photos, but rest assured there are a lot of cute baby photos to come!
I love the card you made. It’s much busier than your typical card, I think, but still has all the perfect little touches that make your cards pop (the stripey paperclip). I participated, too, and now want to order more post cards and note cards with my photos.
I’ll have to check out zazzle.
Glad to hear your trip is going well.

What an exciting project this is!
Looks wonderful, and you’ll have lots of happy mail to look forward to? Baby photos – oooh, looking forward to these!
Great colors in your hydrangea postcard.
Love the collage thank-you to Kat;
I love collages and maps and postage stamps and envelopes so this is just perfect!
