Oh Wow - I love Rebecca's envelope. I love the interplay between the stamps and the crab-preparation pictures! That is one of the reasons I think I often prefer the envelope - I love the art plus stamps plus postmarks - the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts - and then as a huge added bonus its all so personal bec your very own name and address is right there in the mix too!

Nice additions of late! I first looked at the jpgs of Janine's, and the top image made me gasp "How cool!" - then I looked at the stamps: ah, of course it's Vizma!" Then I looked at the flipside and see she used the iuoma sticker I designed - I feel honoured...^_^
