Project: Lovely Letters

I can't believe we only have one more task to go I'm sure I will miss it when its over but I'm sure I'll move on to something else. This time I've gone for a cat theme....

I answered my 10 questions from task 2 using my rubber stamps and hello kitty paper and also I listed my 10 favourite things through a collage as I wanted to do things a little differently...

My favourites in no order with still a little bit of a cat theme to it... 1.Photography 2.Music 3. Desserts/Sweets/Candy 4.Crafts 5.Seaside/nautical theme 6. Books 7. Fruits/Vegetables 8. Letters and Package 9. Stationery 10. Leaves Of course there are so many other things that I like so but it said only 10!

I included in my envelope some envelopes from my last letter set and the one I used this time. My friend told me that in Portugal on the 11th November its a national holiday for chestnuts which is quite fascinating. In the UK its not a national holiday but its Remembrance day where people wear a poppy to remember the soldiers that have fought the war since WW1 and we also have a minute silence. As I put some money in the charity pot at the supermarket I was forced to take a poppy which was handy as I posted it to my friend. I also posted some postcards/leaflet on the industrial side of Bradford which I'm sure house many cats!

I used my Halloween Cat set to decorate the envelope and it was a perfect time with Halloween being around the corner at that time. I used my stripy tape around the edge which made it look even better and brighter.  

 

Today I received my envelope from my partner....

Inside were the answers to my 10 questions, a favourite list and some goodies....

1. A cute birdie ATC which I love 2. Buttons: I haven't crafted with that much this year but I am a huge button fan especially the plain ones and lastly lots of mixed items to craft with which are wonderfully colourful and fun. I can't wait to use them at some point :).

 

Have you received any great packages lately?

Project: Lovely Letters

It is that time again to show you my latest lovely letter. One of the things that my partner said she liked was books so I had to use one of my Alice in Wonderland sets but which one do I use was the question....

I ended up choosing the last one because it didn't just have Alice in Wonderland but also Little Red Riding Hood, Wizard of Oz and Snow White... might as well get really in to the Fairy Tale theme I guess. I also realised that I had two of the first set so I'm offering one on my other blog Make My Day, if you haven't done already maybe you'd like to have the chance of getting it by shouting Make My Day!

The writing paper is pretty plain in design and colour considering how much could have been done with these themes and I do find these sets quite boring but my writing looks great on them. I tend to use coloured pens, tapes and stickers anyway so it soon makes things look more cheerful.

I decorated my envelope to match the theme of Alice in Wonderland, even the book page matches as its about Guilotines and the Queen of Hearts wanted everyones heads chopped off.

I continued with the book theme by sending a booklet about Bradford, a leaflet on Haworth where the Bronte sisters grew up and wrote their books. As its a world heritage place its like stepping back in time. Also I included a postcard of the Wool Exchange which has a few shops in its building but majority of the building is occupied by Water Stones which is a book shop.

Even though my letter wasn't as long as last time and I had plenty of sheets to continue writing on I decided to do my 2nd task on the Wizard of Oz letter pad a friend sent me as it fitted in so well. I have to admit though that I really struggled with my 10 questions as I wanted them to be fun and challenging without the usual style of 'What's your favourite colour etc?....

Today I received my partners letters....

Its funny how my partner thought to use an Alice in Wonderland theme on her envelope too and it looks great. The stamps I loved and she included a few goodies.

Here are the 10 questions for me to answer which I'll send with my next letter.

How are you getting on with your Lovely Letter?
