Just some of the stamps I got mailed by Parsprototo.
Thanks again, buddy!
Now I can fill up those 'HELLO my name is'-stickers I got laying around for 3 years. :-)
Sheet of United States postage stamps from 1994 with pictures of Whooping Cranes and Black-Necked Cranes to celebrate these beautiful birds.
These were some stamp-like stickers from an old TV Guide from 1975. Selling degrees you could earn in classes through the mail. I do think the guy they used for the Electrician stamp would have made a better background for the interior decorating stamp. They've all got that 1970s vibe going.
This mint sheet commemorates the life of Robert Francis Kennedy, a prominent political figure. Kennedy served as a U.S. Senator and U.S. Attorney General. The stamp design was taken from a family photo suggested by Mrs. Ethel Kennedy.
"Letters are written, never meaning to send..."
On the contrary. I hope we all can reach out for one another in sending each other letters.
I love the way this turned out!
This is 2 coats of Wet n Wild "Born Into Privilege" from the Be Jeweled collection.
Beautiful on it's own! But I decided to stamp over it and I'm glad I did! :)
please excuse the boo-boo on my middle finger :|

Royal Mail workers have been on strike today; the first of 19 proposed strikes in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions. So with no bills to open, no parcels to unwrap, we cracked on with this collage puzzle of foreign postage stamps, our last jigsaw before we leave for a fortnight's holiday in Kefalonia.
This is one of a pair of puzzles purchased earlier this year and saved until now. Corner Piece puzzles have a tight fit and bright, clear images, and these collage-type ones are relaxing to assemble when something undemanding is required.
An attempt at stamp carving: Polaroid frames, a speech bubble, and text: "thank you" for cardmaking and "OPB" for blog-related correspondence.
I have been wanting to make a card of my Tea cup. The cup has two big birds on it, pink flowers, brown swirls (I used leaves), script, a butterfly and some post marks.
I layered the stamps using distress markers. The Carte Postale stamp is from Stampendous, very useful in collages (used walnut stain). The bird is one of my all-time favorites, from Artistic Outpost. I started with a blue distress marker (weathered wood) which I colored the top half of the bird with, then I colored the middle part with light brown and then the underside with dark brown. I then sprayed the stamp with a light spray of water before I stamped. The pink flowers are from a Spring collage stamp from Hero Arts, called 'Decorative Birds', just used part of the stamp. The brown leaves are from a stamp I found in the sales here on a French Website, called Florilèges, only half price. The little dragonfly is a tiny stamp from an acrylic stamp set.
This card I made for the craftorij summer challenge day 33.
The themed for that day was Emoticons.
Also I added to the July challenge of the lovegroup, "tag you're it".
On the bustling street of Portobello Road, in Notting Hill, London, shops and stall holders bring their wares out onto the street. This was a beautiful stall of stamps that I just had to photograph.

I loved Julie's banner stamps when I first saw them on her blog, so I chose to do banners for this lesson. OMG I am hooked on this stamp-carving thing! It's SO MUCH FUN!
Montenegro - The first stamps to be issued by Montenegro were in 1874 which coincided with the opening of the first post office for public use. The design of the stamps had a bust of Prince Nicholas. In 1893 seven different values of the existing stamps were overprinted to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of introduction of printing into Montenegro. In 1896 a range of 12 stamps were issued for the bicentenary of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty. 1902 saw the introduction of new currency and new stamps with a new design and a new bust of Prince Nicholas.

Montenegro was one of the few European countries to issue a stamp for the Avis de réception service.
In 1905 a new Constitution was passed in Montenegro and this resulted in existing stamps being overprinted to commemorate the event. Another change in currency in 1907 produced new stamps with another design incorporating the bust of Prince Nicholas.
On the 50th anniversary of the reign of Prince Nicholas, in 1910, he was crowned King of Montenegro and the principality was proclaimed a kingdom. This resulted in a new range of stamps being issued to commemorate this event.
In 1912 a new set of definitive stamps incorporating the bust of King Nicholas was issued.
Austro-Hungarian occupation - March 1917 overprint
Austria-Hungary occupied Montenegro in 1915. Austro-Hungarian military stamps were overprinted Montenegro and issued in 1917. Only 2 stamps were officially issued by Austria-hungary during World War I on 1 March 1917: 10 heller and 15 heller Feldpostmarken with a double vertical overprint K.u.K. Milit.-Verwaltung Montenegro. The general public, however, used stamps of Austria during the occupation.
Non-official overprint - Stamps with horizontal Montenegro overprint are not official nicht verausgabte, and were printed for the first anniversary of Austrian troops occupation.
Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes - Postage stamps and postal history of Yugoslavia - On 13 November 1918 Montenegro was united with Serbia. In 1922 it became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Then in 1929 this became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
WWII - Montenegro was occupied by Italy in 1941. The Protectorate of Montenegro was established and issued stamps until 1943. After the withdrawal of Italy from the war, the territory of Montenegro was occupied by Germany in September 1943.
Kotor issues - In April 1941, Kotor and the adjacent territories of the Montenegrin coast were annexed and incorporated into Italy as the Province of Cattaro of the Governorate of Dalmatia. After Italy surrendered to the Allies, the territory of the province of Cattaro was occupied by German troops in September 1943. Stamps were issued under the German military administration for Kotor in 1944.
Post war - After 1944 Montenegro became part of the federal republic of Yugoslavia and then the Union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003.
Modern Montenegro - Stamps for Montenegro again resumed issuing in 2005. Montenegro declared independence on 3 June 2006.

Hi everyone! It's the last day of stamp-lighting this week at my blog.
I made this card using Hero Arts Row of Houses, Music BG stamp, and a custom brad (without the itop!) for details, please visit my blog. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Another stamp from my old album.
The Colony of Southern Rhodesia was a self-governing British Crown colony in southern Africa from 1923 to 1980. Following the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, the nation existed as the unrecognised state of Rhodesia. It then returned to a period of interim British control until, in 1979 it became Zimbabwe.
This stamp, from 1940, shows 'Hoisting the Flag' by Lt Edward Tyndale Biscoethe of the Pioneer Column on the Kopje overlooking Fort Salisbury on the morning of September 13th 1890.
The Pioneer Column was raised by Cecil Rhodes and his British South Africa Company in 1890 and used in his efforts to annex the territory of Mashonaland.
Clearly a period of Colonialism and of course Cecil Rhodes is not held in the highest of regards these days!
The stamps were printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd of London.
