Holiday Wishes for a Blogging Friend

 I hosted a 

Christmas Pocket Letter Swap

in my flickr group

and this is the pocket letter I 

created for my partner Laurie.

I made it so  Laurie could disassemble

it and use most of the elements 

in her own artwork if she chooses. 

The lovely white and silver edge trim

is adhered with double-sided tape

for easy removal.

In the first pocket I included some

old German scrap St. Nicks that were not attached 

to a vintage script background.

This beautiful frosty flower

in the second pocket

has a thick chipboard vintage postcard

as a backdrop.

 Red and white twine

with some fun Tim Holtz ephemera and

 a mini glittered bottlebrush tree

against a wintry ATC.

Do you like the snowman stickpin I made?

I also included some snowflake brads

on a piece of white burlap trim.

 

 Another pocket with

thick chipboard pieces, and

 another ATC.

 This is some of my most

favorite wintry trim.

And in the final pocket

this gorgeous blue poinsettia pick

with a pretty sheer snowflake ribbon.

So much better than sending a card!
