So I recently found a new craft - Pocket Letters! You can check out the basics via the creator, Janette Lane, on her blog
here.
I joined her Pocket Letter Pal network and agreed to my first Halloween themed swap. I decided to go cute and went to town - I started with some Project Life Halloween cards that I had for unknown reasons since I don't actually scrapbook. I was thinking I'd do ATCs but then I decided I wanted my swap partner to be to use the supplies on the front of the pockets as well as the back (I'm not sure if that's the intent, but I liked it).
Here's the front:
And here's the back:
In my first pocket, I did some ATC papers wrapped ribbon and added a handmade matchbook to the back. The next pocket is my glitter/confetti pocket - I think I may have muddied this up a little to much with glitter. It's sealed with washi, so I may redo it before I send it out. My swap partner is momma to some fancy rat babes, so I made her a rat pocket with chipboard rats on the front that she can remove and some stickers, labels and a few tickets in back.
The second row has a spider charm, some black and orange rhinestones with spider and web die cuts and some hand-dyed crinkle ribbon and washi tape in the back. I'll put my letter behind the card with the owl. I'm not sure if I should add more the front pockets in this row?
The last row has my swap partner's initials, some more removable die cuts and a free floating bat. Additional pumpkin and bat themed papers, ribbon and embellishments are tucked in back. I made some really cute little file folders too.
I can't wait to get started on my next one - it's an owl theme!
I'm entering the above into the following challenges:
Hiding in My Craftroom - HMCR218 - Any Holiday (Halloween)
Corrosive Challenges - Halloween Bingo - Bat, Free Space, Moon (CORROSIVE233)
Thanks for stopping by!
