Pocket Letter Swap
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
As promised, here are the pictures of my pocket letter from Deb. I recently finished my "Sue" album and it has a friends section. This will be going in that album.
First, the envelope (love it!) Side 1 - a great picture of Deb and her husband.
Deb - Benji is adorable. Is he a Westie?
Don't you just love living near the mountains? Side 2 - This side is full of goodies - tags, die cuts, ribbon, a rosette, fun paperclips and all the backgrounds are wonderful collage pieces.

Re: Pocket Letter Swap
That looks like a lot of fun!

Benji is a Cairn Terrier! He's the nicest dog and so polite! Glad you enjoyed your pocket letter
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
Looks great Debbie! You've set the bar very high

That paper is National Georgaphic pages altered with Citra solv with just stiff added on top.
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
Wow, now that you said what they are, I can see it. I have a whole bunch of Citra Solve pages and now I know what to do with themDebbie J wrote:That paper is National Georgaphic pages altered with Citra solv with just stiff added on top.

Just a reminder bump.
Sadly, when I have a generous deadline, I procrastinate. I have been gathering ideas though...

Re: Pocket Letter Swap
I have started, but still have half my pockets to go.
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
Mine was mailed Monday and has cleared customs in Canada so, hopefully, Keitha will receive it soon.

Looking forward to it! I've still got pockets to fill, but now that I'm finished work I can spend some time getting it done.pugmom wrote:Mine was mailed Monday and has cleared customs in Canada so, hopefully, Keitha will receive it soon.
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
I had my swap in hand from Sue last night, but decided to savour it to open this morning so I could photograph it when the light was better. Definitely worth the wait; Sue sent me a taste of springtime in the Rockies!
This is the envelope. I have hopes for a mail art journal, and this will be a featured piece! Love seeing the view from Sue's front porch - so different than here. There is some delightful art, a few papercrafting goodies and a wonderful letter from Sue which makes me feel like I know her so much more now. On this side Sue shared a favourite recipe, more scrapping goodies and, in keeping with her theme, some seeds to plant! Thanks Sue - this is by far and away the best mail I've received in ages Great idea for a swap, Pam!

Re: Pocket Letter Swap
Keitha, I'm so glad it arrived in one piece. I forgot that I would have to fill out a customs declaration form and I was afraid they may not like the packet of seeds. I decided to just let it go and see what happened and if you didn't get it or it was torn to pieces, there would still be time to do another one.
I'm glad you liked it.

Re: Pocket Letter Swap
Spring is also my favourite time of year; my birthday is in May. I don't know if you're aware that I'm a huge fan of Roben Marie Smith, so those inclusions were perfect. Best. Swap. Ever.
Re: Pocket Letter Swap
That is wonderful, Sue! So much goodness packed in every pocket.
