Snowman Pocket Letter

Leaning toward my usual of course, added some vintage photos, vintage ads, and I decided to do some paper piecing and build a three card tall snowman for this page.  Added some blinged out snowflake stickers to the outside of the pocket page - like the effect!

Christmas Card Pocket Letters

The challenge was to use Christmas cards that were received and cut them up into pocket letter pockets, using various parts of the cards - pictures, greetings, etc.  This was a lot of fun and I got a bit carried away, but I was able to use up some cards that I received duplicates of and lots of washi tape, a few stickers and then I cut the inside greetings into chucks and added those to my layout. I was very pleased with the outcome, it was nice to give another life to all those Christmas cards that I save and don't quite do anything with.  I am signed up for 2 swaps with this theme and then I will need to find some partners for the rest that I made.

Elves, Elves, Elves

Any kind of elf images were fair game for this pocket letter (along with my usual papers and washi tapes).  I included Santa in the center as he is a jolly ole elf.(I found a couple of cute elf paper dolls that I shrunk down to put in the back pockets.)

Christmas Pocket Letters




I had a lot of fun with all my favorites - patterned paper, vintage images and washi tape.  I did add some die cut text and a few stickers here and there.

Nine Days of Christmas Pocket Letter

I used patterned paper, vintage images, washi tape, ribbon, and fabric trims - braided, rick rack,metallic.  The cute twist to this pocket letter was the 9 days theme, on the pocket backs in pocket 1, I put my 1 note, pocket 2 - 2 stickers, pocket 5 - 5 washi tape samples, etc.
