Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday!!

I was going to make a year in review bullet list, but decided that would be way too boring for you. LOL I am proud to say, since our family went whole foods plant based (with a cheat day now and then) I have lost over 50 pounds in the last couple of years. Really close to 60 gone, but just a few pounds more to go for that. I should have already reached it last month, but our cheat days have been more frequent. Oopsie.

Here's a pocket letter based on things starting with the Letter F.

I had a really hard time getting this going with ideas, but I'm very happy with how it turned out! If you enjoy swapping pocket letters (and live in the USA), let me know! Maybe we can swap some time.

• Flowers
• Friends
• Furry Friends
• Fountain
• Fall Tree
• Fence
• Fox

All cuts from Cricut

stickers

dew drops / pebbles

various stamped sentiments

Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have a pocket letter themed, 

"All About Me" created for a swap.

Here are my 9 pocket themes in the All About Me pocket letter:

1) Avid Reader

2) Love to go camping with the entire family

3) Riding my bicycle is one of my favorite things to do. It's so relaxing!

4) I use my Cricut and other die cutting machines with my crafting hobby

5) I'm a Grandma to 5 boys!!

6) We have a little baby kitty that's black with white feet named Dani Rojas

7) I enjoy playing the piano

8) We love sitting on the front porch, especially during heavy rainstorms

9) I'm an avid scrapbooker

Each pocket has my favorite colors as the solid backgrounds which is purple and turquoise.

All images print 'n' cut with Cricut

lots of pattern paper, buttons, gems, pearls, sequins, and die cuts from punches

I'm really enjoying creating more Pocket Letters again. I haven't done these in a while. The Facebook groups for swapping Pocket Letters are so fun and encouraging! If you are in one, leave a comment below so I can check out the group.

Again, since I was creating one for a swap,  I went ahead and created 2 alike so that I can have one for reference or to use in the need of a quick pre-made pocket letter for another swap.

Pet Themed Mini Pocket Letter

Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have a simple project to share with you!

This is a Mini Pocket Letter with a Pet theme for a swap I'm in. The back of the pockets have a few goodies in them like ribbon, buttons, flowers, stickers, and mini bows.

While I had all of my supplies out, I went ahead and made 2 of these exactly alike. One to mail for the swap, and one for future reference or in case I need a mini pocket letter in a hurry.

I love the cat theme!

I used my Cricut to print and cut out all of the designs.

wood painted buttons, enamel buttons
