Winter joy: children building a Snowman. Non-traditional maximum card/ maxicard/ dorincard that I created with a greeting card, with a concordant pictorial postmark from Star, North Carolina.

There could be some people, somewhere in the world, who would say that this is not concordant in subject, because the morphology of the snowman differs between the card, the stamp and the postmark.

[Strikethrough typing, as element of style]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen Dudes and Dudettes:

What the hell  do you want me to do?

Find and use ONLY a card (real commercial postcard, no less; no greeting card!), stamp and postmark that show a snowman in the same, CONCORDANT configuration???

As if the children use a recipe, a Standard Operating Procedure for building a snowman exactly the same way every year!

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR hearts!

Peace on Earth? Never was, never will be - not "everywhere, simultaneously". But at least we can do our best. However: "Si vis pacem, para bellum" - Latin adagio.

Hoping for peace is good, but there are too many "disturbers of peace".

Trying to have peace is better, if you take action.

Safeguarding the peace, even with armed forces if all else fails, is the best.

Happy Blue Monday!

"From Nazareth, with love". From Nazareth "the Arab capital of Israel" ? No, from Nazareth, Kentucky, USA. I created this non-traditional maximum card with a folded card ("Christmas card") received from Romania.

Notice that I found an American stamp where Mary has the same color scheme as in the card: red robe with blue mantle.

The pictorial postmark is matching, depicting Baby Jesus.

The reason you can see pretty much the entire postmark on the picture side is because I have used an Avery transparent mailing label, to counteract the glossiness of the card.

Snowflakes, snowflakes everywhere...Non-traditional and traditional maximum cards (MCs) from USA

Non-traditional maxicard, because the postmark is from USA, but the image is from Poiana Brasov, the premier winter sports resort in Romania.

Does it bother me that it's non-concordant for place?

No.

:)

I created it and I like it - it's about snowflakes, globally speaking.

Traditional maxicard - the snowflake geometry on the stamp even matches the bigger snowflake on the postcard.

Non-traditional maxicard (MC) - I have used a folded ("Greeting") card instead of a regular postcard.

Do I care that it's against "The Rules"?

Read my lips.

I don't give a...

In Romanian it is "Crăciun fericit!", or "Sărbători fericite!" [not "vesele"]
