Pocket Letter Creations #1~

I'm not sure if you have heard of the latest craze in papercrafting?

Pocket Letters introduced by Janette Lane.

You can find FB Groups, and websites dedicated to just this craft.

I was instantly drawn to Pocket Letters, as it is a throwback to the late 80's and early 90's....my childhood. Does anyone else remember the days where you could sign up for a penpal? Other children around the world that would register to find a friend to write letters to.

I had penpals in England, Australia, Italy, and the Philippines. Some of these people I still keep in touch with, online and some still in letter form.

My penpal from Italy even came to eastern Canada twice to visit!!

So to say that I was interested in Pocket Letters in an understatement.

Who doesn't love to receive REAL mail. Something that isn't junk mail or a bill.

Here are a couple of the first Pocket Letters that I created.

My first Pocket Letter was created using patterned paper and embellishments from the HomeMade collection from Pebbles Inc.

Most pocket letters are created using Collector Card page sleeves.

I treat each pocket as a mini layout.

Then in the back of the pockets, you include little goodies for your recipient.

You wrap up your pocket letter, and often they fit into a regular sized envelope.

Here is my second Pocket Letter that I created.

I used the Harmony collection from Authentique.

The recipient requested a more vintage feel.

So much fun to create, and so much fun to receive your swap partners letter back.

Thanks for stopping by.
