Number 25 to be sent (256847)

When I first got the request for this next card I wasn't sure what to do. She wanted cards that had no writing on them, and came in an envelope. This was for her collection. I know I didn't have any envelopes sitting around that could fit a postcard, but then I recalled an idea I had read about the other day: Take a picture out of a magazine, book, calendar, or whatever and make an envelope out of it. So I did. This is what it looks like:
Of course, I had to make sure that the address wasn't going to cover the best part:
If you are wondering, this is an advertisement for the Olympics from People magazine.
With that done, I had to find a perfect card to add to her collection. She wanted pictures of cities, so I gave her this one:

Than, I filled out an index card and got it ready to send. This is what I wrote:

Hi L,

Hope you like this card, it's one of my favorite shots of our city. I also made this envelope for you out of a popular magazine that we have here in the USA.

We are documenting our experiences with postcrossing at .....

Stop by and say hi when you get this
