Each of the nine pockets are to be filled ie 1 something in the first pocket, 2 somethings in the second etc. I had Graphic 45s "Twelve Days of Christmas" paper and stamps, so that was easy! And so was taking a shabby chic style. I'm pleased with how it came out and I'm doing another with Graphic 45s "A Christmas Carole".

Holiday Pocket Letters (2)
That post was getting a bit long so here goes the second batch.
"Retro" - I seem to have a "model" underway. A banner across the top, front pockets filled with embellishments.
The back - the pockets are filled with vintage style images, which are not affixed and can be used and an envelope for the "letter".
A custom made box to contain the letter and mail it.
"Starlight Mints" - the front pockets filled with embellishments, a tag and a banner across the top.
The back pockets are filled with vintage image gift tags and an envelope is attached to contain the "letter".
I really do love creating the custom box to contain my "Pocket Letters", a special touch.

Holiday Pocket Letters
Are you doing "Pocket Letters" yet? I just recently discovered them and of course I'm in full production :) "Pocket Letters" are a mix of pen pal and artsy/crafty fun. Check out Janette Lane's tutorials and her "Pocket Letter Pals" site.
Here are a few that I have done for swaps.
"Santa" - the front, all of the pockets are full of embellishments for my swap partner to use, the banner is attached to the outside,
and the back pockets which I have filled with vintage image gifts tags and and attached envelope I made for the "letter".
I like to make a custom box for the folded "Pocket Letter".
"Krafty Christmas" - the front, again filled with an assortment of embellishments, a banner attached across the top (pop dots)
and the back pockets. Here I used a single sheet of paper that I have simply cut and and left in order to recreate the "scene". Again an envelope is attached to hold the "letter".

A custom box to contain the letter. Do a Youtube search to find several variations on creating the box.
