Spring themed pocket letter

Hi everyone..
It's Nanné here today to share a fun Spring themed pocket letter I've created for a swap that I've joined with a lady in Japan.. I'm so excited about sending it and I'm so addicted to sharing my projects with awesome crafter's from all over the world..

Here is my pocket letter:

I tried to stick with Spring colors and added lots of spring themed goodies to my pocket letter

how about some close ups and details:

Added the work HI using some free fonts that I found online, adding the pencil to make it look like its hand written :)

Seed packets and a water can, plus flowers..  

I also created a bottle cap charm.. Super easy.. I fed it through my Cuddle Bug to flatten it, then created the center using my Silhouette software.. Made a circle shape just under 1" and added the umbrella and text on top.. Then I print and cut around edge, used glossy accents to adhere it to the bottle cap and adding more glossy accents to the top.. Punched a hole with my Crop-a-dile and then the key chain :)

What Spring themed pocket letter is complete without a cute little spring lamb and tulips.

Here are the files I used to create my Pocket Letter:

Home Sweet Home Puppy

   Hi puppy lovers! Leah Schaeffer with you today to share my very first fur baby layout ever! Little Toby came home to be with us just a year ago and these were some of his very first photos with us. Honestly think this little guy is the sweetest doggy I've met! Such a love! So being able to create this felt like a wonderful treat.     I wanted to design a page that had that happy, spring day kinda feel and I think that each file I pulled images from ended up being perfect. The dimension to the page was easily created by thinking of the scene you are creating. The additions of the clouds for example just add one more layer. Popping the forefront images helped again to add a feeling of space on the page.     Trimming and adding foam tape to this title may have taken forever, but really helped bring attention to this detail. As well as the layering and inking.     All of the layers were inked. Yes, that is a bit time consuming but by doing so, each and every layer of each image really comes to life! To add even a bit more, I used my markers to add details. Dots on the buttefly, "fur" on the doggy, details on the snail. Even each flower center has a detail inside! Also mixing some printed paper with solid paper adds a bit more interest then only one or the other.     All those images can be found here...

Zoo Pages

Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Ruth, here, to share with you a layout I created for a field trip to the zoo.

I figured Lisa's super cute animals (and some other files) would be perfect for the fun 2nd graders in the photos.

Here is my layout:

I used:

A few details I'd like to point out. I couldn't resist making a couple of lines of flamingos on vellum and the little Gnomies bird was perfect since the kids were singing their Africa songs to the animals (I used a sketch pen to draw the notes.) For more pictures of my project, feel free to stop by my blog: Paper and Musings!

Thanks so much for visiting! This would be a great project for the Smarty Pants challenge that's going on. Be sure to check out all the details by using the link in the upper right corner.

Happy crafting!
