After I broke my hip, Linda Coughlin from the Funkie Junkie
sent me a get well card that was made from a library envelope and insert where she left a sweet message . I saw all kinds of possibilities!! Since receiving this unique card, I have seen Linda post a Christmas card using this same idea. I must say I thought it was grand!!
So this is my version, I dare say the first of many. I hope you are as intrigued by it as I was and still am.
I am entering my card in the following challenge.
Our Creative Corner - Royal theme - Use a crown, castle or princess and the color yellow or gold embossing.
So here we go again -- I must say Linda and Company are giving me a run for my money!!!
Thanks to all my followers and for you lovely friends who stop in to visit and leave a little love!!
Sandy

This is BEAUTIFUL and genious! Love all the colors, image is super cute and fun.
I think I would like to see more of the same thing-because it is a GOOD THING! :)
Oh, Sandy! What a fabulous design, and your little Prince is so adorable! Thanks for sharing it!...Nancy :o)
This is a fabulous project and I hope you don't mind but I'm going to try one of these. It's very clever and so cute. The little prince is adorable but I just love the concept of this pocket tag.
Oh you are unbelievable! I love the library card!! Love the script writing and antiquing that you did. I really love that it stayed neutral so that the Prince is shown off well and the crown is placed perfectly.
The inside it adorable, did you hand write this, gorgeous handwriting! Look at that little tag and gorgeous bow awe, so cute! This is truely a vintage keepsake, now I am going to copy you! LOL
You are doing very well with the Fabercastell's, Your Royal Highness!! This is your talent, your vintage tags should be in every library book out there!
I just LOVE this one!
Hugs from your Royal Subject!
I really love this, so original! Great idea :O) Hugs! Leah Ann

Hi Sandy, thanks for your nice comments on my blog. I have looked around on your side. You make really beautiful cards that I'll be looking now always. When I look at your photo, I can not believe that you are over 60 years old. So we are in an age group, because I will soon be the 66th ...
Many greetings
Melodie

Sandy, I have to agree with you. Linda, makes some of the most wonderful cards, and I have seen the holiday library pocket card. She is very inspirational.
And I am delighted that she inspired you, when you created such a handsome library pocket card, as well. I love the prince that you added, and the 'title' piece is very vintage and wonderfully done.
thank you for playing along with us @ OCC

Take care my friend!! HUGS...now back to following you!! *wink
Lovely sandy, really love the vintage feel. Michelle x
I love this! You do have me visiting her blog(Funkie Junkie) now. I love that kind of crafty things but have no time to do something new, maybe this winter! I haven't mastered my copics yet!! Probably never will but keep trying. I see you have posted several things that I have missed. Don;t know how that happened. YOU are so talented.
Brilliant - I love the envelope/insert idea (love Linda Coughlin - she's so amazing), and you've done wonders with it here. You won my heart straight away with The Little Prince - always at my bedside... gorgeous project!

This is just fabulous, Sandy! Love the ribbon and bling.
Brilliant creation!! Love both envelope and the note! This creation is so vintage and rustic.
Love the coloring and your distressing is awesome!!
