lil birthday books

I took a couple of my 2" notebooks and made them into birthday cards.

I had a lot of fun working on these! 

I'm thinking about selling something similar in my shop. What do you think?

elevated envelope

Last summer, I participated in a super fun snail mail exchange hosted by Ephemera Press called the Elevated Envelope.  Ya, know how much I love handmade envelopes.  This project couldn't be more up my alley!

 I made the envelopes from vellum building schematics purchased from my fave reuse store, SCRAP.

The contents: paper ephemera (sheet music, chinese burning papers, card catalog cards, etc), a glassine envelope containing a great blue heron feather, My Heart Postcard, and a notecard from my Memoir Art Card line.

 I made stickers with self adhesive label scraps, pens and punches.  Fun and easy!

I embellished the envelopes with my handmade stickers and japanese masking tape.  

 I received a bunch of adorable envelopes/letters in return.  I'll share them in a future post.

By the way, happy new year!
