Today's share is a design team post for <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/"><span style="color: magenta;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>. We are collaborating with <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Joy Clair Stamps</span></a> the month of April and they sent me the <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/best-buds-clear-stamp-set"><span style="color: blue;">Best Buds</span></a> stamp set to play with. The images are adorable and I love the sentiments and fonts in this set! So cute!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Best Buds | Clear stamp set" height="320" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0934/1904/products/best-buds_medium.jpg?v=1549380371" width="188" /><br />
<b>Best Buds</b><br />
Joy Clair Stamps<br />
$12.99<br />
<br />
<br />
Since the theme is Easter at <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/"><span style="color: magenta;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a> I used the pair of bunnies featured in the <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/collections/clear-stamps/products/best-buds-clear-stamp-set"><span style="color: blue;">Best Buds</span></a> stamp set. The cut out egg is from the <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2017/03/egg-treat-box-2-template-and-cutting-file.html"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Egg Treat Box 2</span> </a> and I used one of the layers in Regina's SVG file. The round sentiment is also from <span style="color: magenta;">TCC </span>and it is from the <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2018/03/sentiment-bunny-printable-set.html"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Sentiment Bunny Printable Set</span></a>. <br />

Hello and Welcome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still a bit scarce here on my blog as I am trying to get back into a crafty routine. Today's share is a design team card for <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>. With Valentine's Day just around the corner you may be looking for inspiration in making cards, decorative boxes etc.. Well we have you covered over on TCC's blog so be sure to check this <a href="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/"><span style="color: magenta;">post</span></a> out later today when it goes live. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this card I used two printable sets which makes it easy to mass produce. I'm also sharing below a photo of the files so you can see what is in each set. Both files come with PDF and JPEG format. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the first photo you can see the 3 fonts that are available in this set for $1.99 and it is an instant download after payment. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the plain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This set is $1.75 and is an instant download after payment. </div>

Today's share is my new address book featuring the contact list, special dates and yearly calendar. I realized the need for an updated address book when I went to write my Christmas cards in December. I have at least 4 address books that range from the time I married, this May will be 33 years, until now and I am tired of piecing together all of the addresses. So it was time for a new one and the best part is I can add additional pages as needed. Also I was inspired by Marie Kondo's book, The Magic Art of Tidying Up, which is how I am currently organizing my home. I am thanking the things I've used and loved and passing them on and keeping only the essentials. One updated address book will function better for me than hunting through all the others and I'll benefit from less clutter so it's a win-win for me. :)</div>

Welcome, we have a brand new challenge for you at <a href="http://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">ABC Christmas Challenge</span></a>. This month we are on the letters <b>S for Snow</b> and <b>T for Teal</b>. Every entry needs to be a Christmas themed project and you can enter as often as you like. For my DT project I was inspired by Kathy Clement's folio cards and decided to make one of my own. As she says it's a great way to give a card that also doubles as a gift. This Christmas I'll be gifting a handmade folio card with a packet of specialty cocoa and a recipe, for a delicious cookie to enjoy while sipping their cocoa, to friends at my church. </div>

I love this die that I bought last year in Branson, Missouri. There's a fabulous scrapbooking store on the main highway through town and it is chock full of crafting supplies. I always find unique things in that store and end up making multiple trips when I am there. ;) It is by Yvonne's Creations and it's called Holly Jolly Nesting Frame. I added flat back pearls to the star centers and inked the edges with Tumbled Glass distress ink. I used a cut-apart image on top of the die and popped it up with foam tape. The sentiment features the word Snow so that is my 'snow element' for this challenge. I added a Recollection rosette 3D sticker, a resin heart, twine bow, and in the upper left is another image from the sticker sheet. The reindeer at the top of the focal image is from Pink Paislee's City Sidewalks ephemera pack and the number '25' is by Simple Stories and is a sticker from a 2017 Christmas collection which I can't remember right now. A polka dot ribbon was added to the front and back covers and is the closure for my folio. All of the papers used are from the Jingle collection by Authentique .</div>

This is how the inside looks when you open it. The right side is a pocket where I slipped the cocoa packet and the left side is purely decorative. I used washi tape on both sides and cut-apart images from the collection. </div>

The left flap lifts up and I created a tuck spot with a banner from the cut-apart page to slip my recipe into. On the bottom I added a red doily and punched a 3.5" circle and stamped a sentiment from Verve's Jolly Jingles stamp set. I also stamped a small snowflake on the background and colored in the ribbon and jingle bells with festive berries Distress Ink Marker.</div>

Hello and Welcome Back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As promised I am back with a project I made for a friend in India. We swapped 5 decorated tags and I used the beautiful collection - A Ladies Diary - by Graphic 45 to decorate her tags and to create this <b>Happy Mail Tracker</b> for her. She swaps with a lot of pals and thought this could be useful for her to keep up with what is going out and what is coming in. The cover and inserts are designer papers but the main body of the book is a file by The Cutting Cafe. I design for TCC and when Regina shared this new file with us I knew I had to create some for friends of mine. Unfortunately, I mailed two before I realized that I had forgotten to snap photos of them. Ugh! At least I remembered this time lol. We'll call it ex-cancer brain okay?1? LOL</div>

I used a Cinch machine to bind my book but you could use any style binding you choose. I also decided to chomp the corners with a We R Memory Keepers Corner Punch - Scallop. All of the edges were inked (dp's only) with Gathered Twigs distress ink by Tim Holtz. The alpha's on the cover are from the sticker sheet from G45's Secret Garden collection. </div>

Hello and welcome back! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a scheduled post and today I'm sharing a Tag Swap I made for a dear friend in India. We originally met through Pocket Letter Pals and although I left PLP's we have remained friends. Earlier in the year she was battling cancer and in July I was diagnosed with cancer also. I'm happy to report that she is doing very well and has recovered. I am beginning my journey and on the 17th of this month I had surgery to remove the cancer and received a chemo treatment during surgery to kill any remaining cells. I have a rare cancer, Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, and just grateful that I was a candidate for the specialized surgery they now offer to patients. My family and I are praying that when I go for my first PET scan in November it comes back NED (no evidence of disease). It seems cancer touches so many people all over the world and it tends to bond you to each other in a very special way. That is why I wanted these tags to reflect beauty with a vintage touch (which she loves) and I couldn't resist adding encouraging notes using Tim's word stickers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Close up of the first tag, the sentiment is a cup apart from one of the designer papers. I die cut Tim's beautiful butterflies using another dp and inked the edges with Gathered Twigs distress ink. Liquid pearls were added to each tag and flat back pearls to the butterflies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fussy cut images really make these tags pop. I die cut a doily by Taylored Expressions and cut it in half and added to each side of this tag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Another die cut doily but this one is from My Favorite Things and I love the vintage feel of it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers and cut aparts in this collection are so pretty. I added foam tape to some of the elements to add some dimension to each tag.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flowers are a great feature and I fussy cut several types to add to these tags. The stamps were inked and two were popped up on foam tape. Every tag has a kraft base and all edges were inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink. I love the warmth this color adds. A O-ring was used to hold the tags together and I added various ribbon/trim to it as a finishing touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope these tags inspired you to create some of your own and swap with a friend or gift someone. I would appreciate your prayers for my continued recovery. It will be a long one but I knew that going into it and fully believe that I have more to do here and God is not finished with me yet. I'll be back on Thursday (also a scheduled post) with a companion gift that I sent my friend as a happy. ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then take care and I'll see you then!</div>

I'm back with a share today that I made for my sister. It is a Bible Verse Book which offers encouragement from the Bible and I included inspirational quotes as well. She has been going through a lot the past few years with her health and I felt she needed this when I saw it on <a href="https://susefishscraptherapy.wordpress.com/">Suse Fish's blog</a>. Suse recently changed her blog and unfortunately I couldn't find the link to it but you could search memory verse book which is what she called hers I believe. </div>

I stamped a favorite verse of mine on the left journal card. The stamp is from Verve Stamps which is now closed. So happy I have several of Julee's Scripture stamps!</div>

Welcome to the second installment of our <i>Christmas in July</i> design team posts at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/"><span style="color: blue;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>. I love making Christmas projects when it's too hot to be outside. :) This card is one of my fave's for sure because I love the cutting file I used to create it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2015/10/christmas-bulb-greetings-template-and-cutting-file.html"><span style="color: red;">Christmas Bulb Greetings - Template and Cutting Files</span></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are several greetings in this file but I chose JOY for my card. We should always be filled with joy at Christmas and throughout the year. I backed the cut file with the base and trimmed a patterned paper to add some color and interest to my base card panel. I used the card fold, top bulb layer, base of bulb and ornament hanger in this set. Puffy stickers and liquid pearl dots add finishing touches to my shaker card which I filled with mini micro beads. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the file I used and you can see how many options there are. </div>

<br />
Sentiments are also offered but for this card I let the puffy sticker and cut file do the job.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas in July is what I was thinking when I created this design team card for the <a href="http://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">ABC Christmas Challenge</span></a>. With the record hot temps here in the U.S. I'm definitely dreaming of a white Christmas. :) I'll stop and confess right now that I'm no ice skater but I wish I was. Ice skating is a beautiful sport and I love to watch it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a SVG file by Daniela Moscone available at Silhouette Design Store called <a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-shape/104167"><span style="color: blue;">Ice Skate Card</span></a>. </div>

The inside sentiment and image are by Verve Stamps which sadly closed their doors the end of June. I used stickers by Simple Stories on the opposite page.<br />

For the front of my card I used a merry mix of embellishments and ephemera. The seasons greetings stamp is from G45's Night Before Christmas 3 stamp set and I backed it with a 1" punched circle from black cardstock. Years ago Pink Paislee offered a collection called City Sidewalks and I still have some of the papers and ephemera in my stash. The bell ephemera is from that collection as are the fishtail banners. I ran some red/white twine through the tag and secured it with Tim's tiny attacher. The rosette is a dimensional sticker from Recollections and the glitter red heart was punched using a Fiskar's heart punch. I also used a circle sticker from G45's A Place in Time sticker sheet on the right side of the cluster and foam tape to give some of the elements dimension.<br />

<br />
White and black gel pens add highlights and faux stitching. I added a chipboard 'Believe' by Echo Park to the blade, tinsel by Tim Holtz to the base of the ice skate and flat back pearls where the laces pull through and that completes this card.<br />
<br />
I used the fold card and layering pieces from the SVG file to create my card. My Silhouette Cameo made this an easy task to do. Check out the <a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Silhouette Design Store</span></a> to see what is currently on sale and if memory serves me correctly I believe they have a big Christmas sale during July. If I learn when I'll pop in and edit this post and add a direct link. ;) You can also visit my dear friend's online store, <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>, as Regina offers several Christmas themed files and each one comes with various electronic cutter SVG files as well as a PDF version in case you don't own an electronic cutter. </div>

So for my card today I used several patriotic themed PDF files. The card measures 5.5 x 5.5 and I fussy cut the letters from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/usa-word-shaped-card/"><span style="color: blue;">USA Word Shaped Card</span></a> instead of using the SVG file. I used Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink then came back with a darker layer of Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. The sweet little girl (Mikala Ann) is from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/06/ready-for-the-4th-of-july-elisha-jean-and-friendsprintable-stamps.html"><span style="color: blue;">Ready for the 4th of July Elisha Jean and Friends....Printable Stamps</span></a> set. There are four images that print on one page so I did one of my favorite techniques - paper piecing. I love to do this when I'm in the mood. ;) I added some shine to her skirt and shoes with a Wink of Stella glitter pen and to the stars on her shoes as well as the star pin in her hair. I forgot to mention that I stamped stars on the letters with Versamark Ink then embossed them with white embossing powder by Wow! It adds some texture and you can't have enough stars when it's the 4th of July. I punched 3 stars from blue glitter paper and added 3 Kaisercraft blue gems for more sparkle. The sentiments are from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/06/independence-day-sentiment-setprintable-stamps.html"><span style="color: blue;">Independence Day Sentiment Set....Printable Sets</span></a> and the circular 4th of July sentiment, which I backed with red cardstock, is from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2013/06/4th-of-july-hershey-kiss-bottoms-printable-set.html"><span style="color: blue;">4th of July Hershey's Kiss Bottoms Printable Set</span></a>. Speaking of that a great party favor for a 4th of July get together would be a bag of Hershey Kisses with these fun sentiments attached to the bottom. So cute! Here's an example from Regina Easter, owner/designer, of The Cutting Cafe.<br />
<br />

My patriotic card will go to my sister and BIL who both served in the U. S. Air Force. They are the only living veterans in my family so I try to always remember them with a card to thank them for their service.<br />

I have a design team share today for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/"><span style="color: blue;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>. We are using templates from various cutting files in different crafty ways. I used two of the smaller hearts from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/01/layered-stitched-hearts-templates-and-cutting-files.html"><span style="color: blue;">Layered Stitched Hearts Templates and Cutting Files</span></a> to create these mixed media embellishments. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by making a mixed media background with ink sprays, stencils and translucent modeling paste. The texture in person is wonderful and for now I simply added a word strip to each heart. You can see my heart templates on the right. Hearts are always a go-to embellishment for me as they are useful on any project throughout the year. I am saving these for my future faith scrapping projects which I plan to start next month. I'll add additional items to each {enamel dots, metal embellishments, etc.} but until I know what I want I decided to stop at this point. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to make some handmade cork embellishments using several of the templates from TCC. Fabric is another great option and the possibilities are really endless when designing custom embellies to use. For those of us who aren't great at drawing {that would be me} templates are a fantastic way to fake it. </div>

In a recent pocket letter swap I received a friendship card from my dear friend in Germany. On the back she recorded her name, address, birthday, anniversary and her social media links. It's a great way to have that info at a moment's glance and she requested that I exchange one with her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my friendship card I used a designer paper from the Oh My Heart collection by Paige Evans for Pink Paislee. I chomped the corners with a We R Memory Keepers corner punch and inked the edges with jet black Archival ink. On the front I added puffy stickers from the same collection by Paige, washi tape, a holographic bunny sticker and two punched gold hearts. The rubber house is from Crate Paper's Cute Girl embellishment collection. I finished by spelling out BESTIES with Paige Evans alphas from the OMH sticker collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the idea of including a friendship card for my pen pals and collecting them as well. I placed my card in a vellum sleeve and it's held in place with a pink unicorn paper clip which I'm sure she'll use in one of her many planners. </div>

I have a fun little flip book to share today that has a tri-fold design. It was quick and easy to create and it mailed in a regular envelope with no additional postage required so that's a plus. The photo above is the view of the flip book opened inside. I placed pockets on all three panels and 3 smaller pockets on top of those. On the smaller pockets I did some faux stitching with a black Pilot pen. I tucked a letter to my pal in the middle pocket and the remaining pockets were filled with stickers, ephemera, chipboard, paper clips, washi tape and die-cuts.</div>

Hello and welcome to my Monday morning post today, I hope your week is off to a great start! I'm sharing a design team project for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/"><span style="color: magenta;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a> using the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/lip-balm-chapstick-holder/"><span style="color: blue;">Lip Balm and Chapstick Holder</span></a> template and cutting file. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="The Cutting Cafe" src="https://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/TCCBadge.png" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This template...cutting file is great for giving a gift to a teacher, upcoming Mother's Day here in the US, or for a happy to brighten someone's day. You don't have to include chapstick if that isn't your thing but I love the idea for several of the ladies in my devotion group. I can also see myself giving this to several of the young girls at my church for Christmas with flavored lip balms or chapsticks enclosed. You could also fit a brooch or small compact in the box as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Whether you choose to print the box pattern as a PDF or cut with an electronic machine it is super easy to do and assemble. All you'll need is paper, scissors and adhesive of your choice. I added a paper flower and a gem accent {can't remember which company, sorry} to the front of the box along with 3 liquid pearls in opposite corners. A ribbon was tied to close the box and I added a sentiment as well with twine. Speaking of the ribbon, it's actually mauve with pink polka dots but the sun did something funny to it when I snapped the photo. ;)</div>

I'm back to share a summer themed flip book I created for a pal in Sweden. She needed a pick-me-up after a long winter so I thought the bright, warm colors might do the trick. Happy to report that she loved it! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each page was painted with various acrylic paints then I added black spots by thinning black acrylic paint with water and splattering. To decorate the book I used various stickers, ephemera, thickers and chipboard. It was fun using up a lot of my stash and by the time I finished the book it was chunky. </div>

There's a brand new challenge beginning today at <a href="http://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">ABC Christmas Challenge</span></a> and Dorte is our hostess this month. We are nearing the mid-point of the alphabet with the letters 'J' and 'K' and to play along create a Christmas themed project using one, or both, of these letters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>J is for Joy and K for Keep it Simple</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my card above I used glitter letter stickers by American Crafts to spell the word Joy out. I kept everything simple on these two cards using the CAS (clean and simple) design style. The addition of sequins elevates it for the holidays. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I used the Angel Stickers set by Dazzles. These are great cards to mail out because there are no bulky embellishments therefore no extra postage. That's a win in my book! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both card bases were from a blank card set by The Paper Studio. Love having blank cards at the ready for quick card making. :)</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was due to post this yesterday but that didn't happen. ;) It's been super busy the past 3 weeks but hopefully things are calming down, at least for a while. This sweet flip book went to a dear friend of mine in Germany and she is an avid panda lover. It brightened her day which is the goal of all happy mail so I was tickled!</div>

It is an accordion style flip book which I purchased some time ago and was in my stash begging to be altered. The base is black and I added designer paper mostly by Crate Paper to embellish. </div>

This is the first set of pages and I added pockets to stash some goodies in for her to use. On the left I gifted stickers and Heidi Swapp acetate words, on the right I gave her planner stickers and SMASH banners. </div>

The last set of pages has a pocket on left with Pink Paislee ephemera from a Paige Evans collection. The tissue paper on the right had multi colored flecks and reminded me of a unicorn so I jokingly told her it was unicorn tissue paper. She happens to love them and she loved this paper. :)</div>

Welcome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sharing a pocket letter I made for a dear friend in Germany, Katrin, and you can see by the photo above what the theme was. We're both fans of this cult phenomenon and we swapped letters with each other. It was just for fun and for our own personal use so little disclaimer there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Front</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my pocket letter I decided to decorate each pocket front and back which is atypical for me. It just shows how much I love this show! In reality there are too many characters to be accurately portrayed so I chose my favorites and that's who you'll see. Now there is one in particular I left out, Sam Tarly, but I'm sure we'll swap another pl when Game of Thrones wraps in 2019 and I'll include him. </div>

Back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I opted for a landscape design for the front and portrait for the back of my pocket letter. There's one pocket -middle 3rd row- that is out of place but had to include this one of Jon Snow. It reveals who I believe will eventually sit on the Iron Throne and rule the Seven Kingdoms. I won't say why as to spoil for anyone who hasn't watched the series yet.</div>

Talk about your love/hate relationship. This girl has spunk and love her spirit throughout this show, never giving up and always turning things into a positive for her. Yes she did have some rough patches but Daenerys Targaryen did not let them define her. Here she's with Khal Drogo, her husband, and was known as Khalessi of the Great Grass Sea. Her titles grew throughout the show as you can see in the bottom photo above. FYI he did become the love of her life. :)</div>

Yes she's clearly changed hairstyles here...not by her doing and no I do not want to discuss how it came about....watch the show. Anyway, this chica knows how to get revenge...big time. There's not enough money or power for the likes of Cersei Lannister. Oh and when she gets that look in her eyes....watch out!</div>

Lady Olenna Tyrell is a favorite because she killed Joffrey. Cersei may have called her the Queen of Thorns but to me she's a heroine. Joffrey was a monster and although there are many in GOT he was a particularly nasty one and I cheered when he died. The upside is that the actor, Jack Gleeson, did a great job portraying him. :)</div>

Hello and Welcome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back with a pocket letter I made for a pen pal in Sweden. I love using Regina's files from <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a> but for this design team post I decided to use this awesome printable - <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/pocket-letter-pals/"><span style="color: blue;">Pocket Letter Pals</span></a>. Instead of using the cards full size I used 5 cards from the set as accent pieces on my pl and I love how it turned out. Here's hoping Veronika will too! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I trimmed this card, rounded the corners and added some faux stitching with a black pen. A black panel behind it helps it to pop and love the wood veneer house. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9ENFGBVXxsI7MXKCNAYrb3YvGc4GYFrSs70OsIV24DkOxeolCS4NrBn3hPm-2SSeZH-Cm0y6bnE8n4pBkuFDd7Mgmfi5wL35LaPXOAr-Ng7V8I8ob3Rz-0ByRcZiIJL_HQ9PrdDwVEUY/s1600/iPhonedump4_20_18+093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1264" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9ENFGBVXxsI7MXKCNAYrb3YvGc4GYFrSs70OsIV24DkOxeolCS4NrBn3hPm-2SSeZH-Cm0y6bnE8n4pBkuFDd7Mgmfi5wL35LaPXOAr-Ng7V8I8ob3Rz-0ByRcZiIJL_HQ9PrdDwVEUY/s400/iPhonedump4_20_18+093.JPG" width="341" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this card I cut the two white panels from the set and added them, again a faux stitched border helps add interest. A wood veneer for the state of Tennessee with a puffy heart makes it personal and I spelled out Tennessee with tiny alpha's by October Afternoon. The red label was on the pattern paper so that was handy. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one I added another stitched border, a puffy heart and enamel dots.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgioFuZoc5cpmK4znkXh7fP7WwVaVJluLnOUG4v_0Os7UPF9_2bNzCOVY2JBBV4IiFtDeKqxAgHCx0Cds_7iXiRFVjDNaqB3coS5ZInA2N0tz5MkxGJYB3kz8JbKU6RHez4Mvjal18sRYO/s1600/iPhonedump4_20_18+085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1264" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgioFuZoc5cpmK4znkXh7fP7WwVaVJluLnOUG4v_0Os7UPF9_2bNzCOVY2JBBV4IiFtDeKqxAgHCx0Cds_7iXiRFVjDNaqB3coS5ZInA2N0tz5MkxGJYB3kz8JbKU6RHez4Mvjal18sRYO/s400/iPhonedump4_20_18+085.JPG" width="341" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a strip of washi tape above the trimmed panel, rounded the corners and added a bunny puffy sticker. The white rabbit is my user name on Instagram and I'm obviously a big fan of Alice in Wonderland. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly this one was altered the same with a stitched border and I added an arrow sticker. </div>

Quick post to share some happy mail that made its way to Sweden earlier this year. I made a flip book and filled it with crafty happies for my friend, Veronika. She loved it which made me happy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a basic flip book with a waterfall design on the right panel. </div>

Inside left pocket and the word strips are from The Reset Girl. I used clear floral stickers and did some faux stitching with a Pilot fine tip pen. A card and other crafty supplies were tucked in the pocket.</div>
