Today, Mr. Ink and I celebrate 10 Years of marriage! It has been an amazing journey so far. I can’t wait to see how the rest of our journey goes! Another journey I have taken today is Crusade No.29
This is what I started with 6 pieces of 8 1/4 inch square paper. Using some of the tools I had made in previous crusades!
No.1
No. 2
No. 3
No. 4
No. 5
No. 6
So, what am I going to do with these squares??? Envelopes of course! I am trying to use up all the cardstock I have so….I am making all my envelopes this year! So far so good!
Here are the finished envelopes after a little pen work.

I had a great time working on this challenge! It was so much fun to get wild with the paint! I even got a little in my hair!!!
Have a wonderful day! Thanks for visiting me today!

Happy Anniversary! and good luck to your little guy, I remember ice cream was the best part of getting my tonsils out.
I LOVE your papers. What a fabulous idea to make envelopes. I’d have a hard time sending those beauties out.
Happy Anniversary & congratulations on hitting your first decade. Hubby & I are closing in on our 28th and he is still my Sweet Heart! I hope you will have a lifetime of love with Mr. Ink.
ooh your use of white (on most of these envy’s) as the last bit of pop is excellent.
Love the pieces! And the envelopes are a great idea!
