Flowering folder letter for a new pal

 

The other day I got a letter from a new pal named Vanessa. I love getting to know new people and I was just in the mood for some letterwriting so I read her letter and sat down to reply just an hour later. I had a piece of cardboard laying around so I decided to make another Folder Letter as I really loved the Woodland one I did back in May.

 



This is the inside layout. On top I have an envelope for mixed stickers. Vanessa asked me to return her stamps and instead of just putting them in the envelope I made a little baggie with all kinds of cute stamps. I also had some small cute sticky notes that I could fit in there and some gingham masking tape.
Vaness loves cows so I found some cow stickers and included them too. - How cool is it to be a fan of cows? Love that detail!

The letter was put in a transparant envelope on the right side. These can be found in my shop.

I hope Vanessa will enjoy the letter and look forward to getting to know her better :-)

Revealing a big secret ...

I promised you all a big surprise and here it is:
I'm opening an online shop. Yes, how awesome is that? To begin with I am hosting it by blog here: writeprettyshop.blogspot.com 

In the shop I will be selling stuff from my stash so be ready for some great deals on pretty paper and paper supplies!
A good thing you have to keep in mind when browsing is that I do not restock items - when they are sold out they will not come back so if you want something be sure to buy it before someone else does. I will always be posting here on the blog when I've added new stuff for the shop.

Also note that all prices are in DKK (Danish Kroners) so be sure to have a currancy calculater ready - just google and you should be able to find one fairly easy :-)

If you find something you like email the order to me at email@marieholm.dk.

Ready?

Go shopping!

New stuff for the craft stash August

Today it was time for my monthly haul of goodies to add to the craft stash. I am really piling up some goodies but I also need to clear out some of my old ones - a big surprise will soon be featured on the blog so stay tuned :-)

I am still a bit focused on labels since our printer is not working. I write so many labels by hand and actually it's kind of fun with the hand-written look they get :-) A bit more personal. I bought some awesome giftwrap since we were running low: One has a grass print and the other one has a pile of stones. I fell completly in love with the plaque on the right about "homemade ICE CREAM". Had to have - don't know where to put it yet :-p

Stickerbag Zoo Game

I love sending fun little games and surprises with my letter. Sometimes I even event new games like this one: A Stickerbag Zoo.

I had a small sheet of cute little animal stickers so I made a game.
I put the stickers bag in the plastic wrap they came and but drew 'bars' in front of the animals with a permanent marker.

The rules state:
"This is a zoo with 18 animals. But some are double (eg. 2 lions). Help us up the variety by taking out one of the animals which are double and add a sticker with a new animal instead. Let's get as many kinds as possible.
No more doubles? Send home to *name and adress of reciever*"

I hope one of my pals will enjoy this game and have fun with sending it on to other penpallers.
