Postcard Challenge 2012

Week 2. Spain.

Hope you have all had a good week, travelling around Spain.

Here is the page in my book.. this week I have used clear photo corners instead of an envelope...




















Here is the front of my postcard..


















and the back....
















and this is how the card looks once it is tucked into the corners on the page..



















THIS IS WHERE YOU LINK UP... please add your name and a direct link to the relevant blog post to make it easier for people to find your card from Spain. PLEASE DO NOT link up until your card has been blogged or is on Flickr.


NB. I know it looks like the links have gone, they are still there I just cant have them displayed once I make the link for the new week. Click on the word 'HERE'  in the next bit of text and it should take you to the links.







These links will stay active all week, please visit each other and leave some lurve.

See you all on Monday for country number three!.

    Thanks so much for the beautiful postcard that came with the stamps (blooming good idea to write the country on the back of the more difficult ones or I'd have never guessed!). I like your Flamenco lady she's beautiful. Your story gives away very little and keeps the intrigue alive! Looking forward to all the creativity that will explode off the screen again this week :)

    Oh, this is so cool Darcy, your Spanish dancer postcard & Charlie... he is dashing, or is Charlie a girl... I keep getting ahead of myself BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW MORE :) So happy Amy pointed me over here - wonderful, traveling around the world from the computer desk :) Love the way you mounted the postcard, i still need to do my 'book' to house them... can't wait to see what everyone has done :)

    Great postcard - what medium did you use for this, I wonder? I really like how you've attached it to your page. I like how it is framed once on the page.

    I am really enjoying this postcard challenge, Darcy - thank you! x

    I fogort to comment - Doh, love the dancer, and I like the photo corners, it displays the card and background so well, think I prefer it to the envelope, but I like the envelope decorations and the element of 'present unwrapping' you'd get with the envelop approach... hmmm.. probably perfect to have both approaches... 'see ' you next week.. but where???

    Don't you just love the passion of the flamenco? I think I might have to put my flamenco music on while I read the rest of these entries...

    I am sure I just saw your lady stamp her foot... If she's not there next time you look, then she probably danced right off the page...

    PS: This is very beautiful music to listen to while travelling across Spain reading all these cards...
