Postage stamp Athon Jan 21-24

[sniisk]

Great start everyone! I have been working way too much lately. I have 26 hours of lectures per week now it if there are any university teachers here, you know it is just less than 1/3 of required time. Preparations, exercises etc. take always more time than is available. But I'll have a free weekend .

I'm going to try to make some cards this weekend - I love postage stamps!

mrubyjean - gorgeous cards! And your first extended scene card is super!

[nanner]

Who can resist an a'thon? I hope to join in a bit this weekend. I have some unused lick-and-stick stamps from decades ago that I've been saving.

[jo.on.the.go]

I have some cards with hand-drawn scenery where I added stamps from the respective country from my old stamp collection. These aren't extensions.

I've got a couple, but I waited too late in the day to get photos and they look awful. So I'll photograph and upload them tomorrow.

Fun seeing all the art!

I have really struggled with the extend the scene theme - I have a waste bin full of failures. Here are the ones that are half way acceptable (I have already shown #1 but thought I would keep the set complete)
Attachment 228719#1 uses FAUX stamps all the rest have real stamps
Attachment 228720#2 Attachment 228721#3 Attachment 228722#4 Attachment 228723#5
These Indonesian stamps are encouraging 'Healthy Internet' (Internet sehat) and 'Safe Internet' (Internet aman)

I now have to go back and read the thread that I have missed while throwing out cards

[Suzi]

My first five…..

[Donnacr]

I was even so frustrated that I left my Athon cards and made a set of postage stamp Christmas cards to send to luckycat479 whose cards for my swap were swallowed by the great mailing black hole.

Oh my gosh, how did I miss this? I'll try to get something created. Love the art I'm seeing. 🎨

[sniisk]

What? Where did all these cards come from? Beautiful art!

I will post my cards soon.
