| Isn't everything better with a ribbon on it? I think so! And have I been busy making little books? You bet! |
 |
| I love air mail stripes.This paper had the airmail stripes but nothing else going on so I had to do a little stamping.... |
 |
| They have a postal theme going on for some mail art pals.... |
 |
| The fun part is filling up those little pockets with tiny treasures. |
 |
| Paris is a good theme. |
 |
| Give it the ooh-la-la! |
 |
| For Limner -- Black Mail! She coined that mail art expression and I like it. |
 |
| It is a challenge to find things the right size to fit in the little pockets... This old (altered) photo fit just fine. |
 |
| And I finally figured out something to do with those boxes (and boxes) of vintage language cards I have been picking up at the library book sales all these years... |
 |
| Postage stamps fit perfectly inside. And gift cards. |
 |
| As do birthday greetings... |
 |
| You can make these booklets with four or eight pockets.... |
 |
| I just can't stop.... |
 |
| I picked up these fun little pencil pouches (with an elastic to fit around a notebook) at Daiso and some notebooks, which I re-covered in better paper...now my pals will always have a pen and paper when they need to jot down a note! Clever? |
 |
| I needed one myself...I am always coming up with ideas I need to write down... |
 |
| So, there you go -- that's what I've been doing all week (among other things). Now that I have given all these out to the folks I made them for, I can show you. But I'm still making them. I have so many ideas..... a bon voyage booklet, a wedding anniversary booklet, mail art pals booklet.... I guess I better go start folding more..... Any other suggestions? What do you think I missed? You making them too? Do tell. What else can we use these for? It is so much fun to make things. And fun to get things too -- I have gotten some little booklets in the mail after I posted the tutorial (thanks to KSP, Dori & Linda) SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
