Let's Get Sketchy: 2 layouts

Today I made 2 layouts of me and my mom.  

1 for the Let's Get Sketchy Guest Designer call (https://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/2016/12/guest-designer-call.html) and 1 for LGS's January 2017 week 1 challenge (https://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/2017/01/january-challenge-week-1.html).  Check them out below.

Have you'll heard of loaded envelopes?

Have you'll heard of loaded envelopes?  

You take 6x9 envelopes and decorate it.  Then you load it with all kind of things (wands, altered paper clips, altered clothes pins, photo albums, cards, bows, die cuts, tags, stickers, flowers, butterflies, a gift card, candy, perfume, jewelry, key chains, and whatever you think the recipient will like).  Just think about the items you put in a Christmas stocking.  

You make them to swap or give them as gifts to friends and family.

If you want to see some examples, go to:

  • Pinterest.com and type "loaded envelopes"
  • YouTube.com and type "loaded envelopes"

There is a group on Facebook called Loaded Envelopes Galore:

Here are 4 I can share right now:
