Pocket Pal Letter Featuring Prima

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend so far.  We had some very pleasant weather for a couple of days but got hit with heat and humidity yesterday and today.  The humidity just seems to sap my energy.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!

Recently, I participated in a swap for Pocket Pal Letters.  This was my very first one.  The theme was fairies.  The papers are from Prima's Butterfly collection.  Mostly all of the embellishments are from Prima.  I made charms using the 6x6 paper pad.  The little mason jar in the upper left corner was stamped onto white cardstock with a tiny fairy embossed in pink--these are also from  the Butterfly collection.  There are leaves from Prima dies, flowers, chipboard from Fairy Belle and Nature Garden as well as some pearls and rhinestones.  There are some Tim Holtz charms and a fairy charm hanging from the large white bow.  Other pearls are from Jolee's, and the lacy butterfly top center is Martha Stewart.  Stickles were added here and there for sparkle.


On the back, we were to fill each pocket with little goodies.  I added a vial from Tim Holtz of fairy dust, more charms, mason jar tags, diecut leaves and butterflies, flowers, fairy images from the collection, a tea bag, and a note about myself.


Once I got started, I really enjoyed how this came together.  It was a lot of fun, and I hope to give it a try again.  If you click on each image, you can see the details a bit better.

Well, that's it for me today.  We have a graduation later today, so I better get some things done before then.  Have a wonderful week!  Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments.
