If you do not yet know Karen Isaacson of
I Am Rushmore and
Mail Me Some Art (MMSA), then it is time for you to visit her web sites so you can know and love her as the rest of us do!

Not only does she share an incredible number of personal projects, but she also facilitates swaps of all kinds of fun items, including bookmarks, postcards, ATCs, tags, and mini zines. She has a deep reservoir of great ideas, and a seemingly endless supply of creative energy!

As I was making my
postal-themed ATCs for this weekend's
CREATE Mixed Media Art Retreat, I noticed several upcoming MMSA swaps that I want to participate in. I transferred the style of my ATCs to bookmarks, and created four bookmarks for an upcoming MMSA swap.

AND, if you need another reason to participate, Karen's projects will almost
always qualify for a post on Aimee's
Glue It Tuesday link-up. When I get going on the MMSA swaps, I usually spend lots of time with scissors and glue stick in hand!
Here are some more details of those fabulous postage stamps, layered onto vintage documents from the late 1800s and early 1900s, embellished with decorative tape and postal-themed rubber stamps:
Here's the whole group together, front and back:
Happy gluing and art swapping!

Well thank you dear sweet Andria! I love those bookmarks - what could be better for a swap with a bunch of mail lovers?

Awesome bookmarks Andria!
I have always loved stamps since I was a small child, your bookmarks are fab!!
LOVE, love, love...I'm lost for words.
I am loving those postal themed bookmarks. Today on the plane I ended up ripping a napkin to use to mark my place in a new book. Bookmarks are like lost socks in the dryer - where do they go?! I can't wait to hear about your weekend at Create. :-)
Wow - these are gorgeous. I participate at ATCsfor all - will have to check out your site now.
Wow...so much postage yumminess! The bookmarks look great.
Karen definitely has some wonderful swaps and her creativity, like yours, seems endless.
What charming bookmarks!
I love postage stamps. They create their own little world onto themselves. And when you put them together, like you did, what stories there are to tell! Great page and bookmarks! {:-Deb
