Warning - Spoiler Alert! Before you scroll any further. This set of beautiful Letterbox Trading Cards (LTC's) were given to me as a gift from LROSEM (Laura from New York) as a final present during our Secret Pal (Santa) Exchange. Laura was such a wonderful Secret Pal sending great art supplies, a beautiful logbook and even a sweet or two. But the icing on the cake is this set of stunning LTC's.
The actual stamps from these hand-carved designs are being planted as traditional Letterboxes by scouttrekkie in Tennessee. So if you are following that series or live in Tennessee you may not want to look any further. Laura gave me permission to post this set of 12 LTC's and I also included the beautiful "Pea's" card above and the lovely LTC at the bottom that is unrelated to the series of 12. The detail in her carvings really speaks volumes to the time and care Laura takes with her carving art. I feel so blessed that she gifted these to me. I am afraid I am an LTC hoarder. Once given and LTC I never give any of them away or trade them. Each is too special and I love looking through my LTC binders for inspiration and as a reminder of the wonderful art gifts shared with me.
Thank you Laura for being the best Secret Pal ever and for allowing me to share your art with others!
Just . . . . WOW!!! Those are powerful, impactful, amazing!! So glad I got to see them.

DeleteThank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! The feedback is why I love carving so much. It has given me a lot of confidence in my abilities. Confidence is something that I have always struggled with.
ReplyDeleteThe secret pal swap was great fun. I got to learn a lot about you snooping around your blog and asking other boxers about what you may like. I got to know my secret pal better too. Linden Leaf was a great secret pal.
It was my pleasure to be your secret pal. :)
