Yay for pocket letters!

New addiction: making pocket letters. Check out these lil jewels I made in the last week or so! Both sent out for swaps-so over the moon excited to get one in the mail soon!! So many little goodies tucked in the pockets! 

Here comes pumpkin flavoured everything!

Well doesn't today just feel like fall. All cloudy and drizzly outside and cozy and warm inside! What a shame pumpkin spice lattes aren't out yet! I love fall-a season of excuses to stay inside and craft while listening to the rain fall outside!

We went on a boat tour of the Fraser river this weekend-right in the middle of what some are calling the great storm of 2015! 

How beautiful is that picture! I'm thinking about getting it printed and using it in some of my fall themed cards! 

 

Here is a commissioned wedding card I whipped up this weekend-in the middle of the doom and gloom I decided to seize the forced indoor time to create some prettiness! 

Another wedding card I made this weekend! 

Thanks for reading <3

Post crossing

My latest snail mail hobby-post crossing! Today I sent out two cards, one to the Czech Republic an one to Poland! Usually I like making post cards myself but I find post crossing a great way to use all the post cards I find myself with from my little adventures into Vancouver or to other beautiful spots around BC! I wrote these post cards while sipping on a cup of glitter and gold tea from David's tea. A very cozy night :) 

A few swaps gone by!

Just a few photos of things I've made! I think envelopes are my favourite. In my short stint as a post office worker, a cheerful envelope made the world of difference to the boring envelope bin!

A lovely stack of incoming mail! Nothing makes me more excited then a full mail box!!

That's all for now!

They laughed at my needlework, I laughed at their stitches

I recently re discovered cross stitching. I went through a phase of making 1 a night!! Here are a few pics. I have grand plans of adding mini cross stitch art to my next (first!) pocket letter! Stay tuned! 

Swaps sent!

When inspiration hits I like to craft a whole collection! This particular night was inspired by a bag of odds and ends I got at michaels for cheap! I love florals and mixing patterns!!

This night was inspired by my favourite blue colour and a package of flower stickers I bought! I love the look of the brown 'butcher paper' mixed with delicate things like embossing and lacy flowers! I got a Fiskars scrap boss from a local 'bidding wars' group on Facebook and I am in love! Keeping my eyes open for more 12 x 12" templates to use in my handy new embosser!
