I just can’t help myself sometimes!
My youngest son is in 7th grade this year,
and this is the year that many of his friends are
celebrating their Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s.
Couldn’t I just buy a a card to give to these kids
with a check inside? Of course not!
Instead I found this amazing scan of a cancelled
letter from Tel Aviv that is dated 1949.
I added text with two fonts, JaneAusten & Saeculum,
printed it out on a mat finish paper, soaked the whole thing in coffee,
and turned it into an envelope.
Voila! The finished piece below!

October 18th, 2009 at 6:27 pm Gina, I thought I was the only nutty person to do odd BM cards. I too am a sucker for a good card/envelope. Yours is just lovely, your talents continue to unfold on the pages of your blog. XO
November 13th, 2009 at 4:08 pm What a great idea … very creative … I will try to find a similar idea as the bar mitzvahs have begun for my oldest - a 7th grader also… Sugar, you need to post more often. You are GOOD!
November 24th, 2009 at 11:21 pm This is wonderful Gina. That is meaningful…and creative. I love your blog. Post more!
December 4th, 2009 at 11:37 am This is great, Gina! Love the “twist”!
