Sender's Choice Shabby Pocket Letter

The latest snail mail craft craze is the Pocket Letter! Basically you fill the pockets of a baseball card/ATC binder page protector with all sorts of goodies. Each pocket is usually filled with one or more of the following: a quote, a note introducing yourself (the letter part of pocket letter), pretty paper, die cuts, stickers, a small gift like embellies, a rubber stamp, jewelry etc; a (wrapped) tea bag, a stamped image, sequins, ribbon, lace etc. Basically if you can use it on a ATC or tag, you can add it to the pockets of a PL!

So what makes this different from making 9 ATCs? Well, the pockets don't have to be as embellished. Pretty paper in a few is fine. It's also sort of like a matchbox in which you as a few items for the recipient. The letter part of it makes it personal. You can also add photos and in your letter describe the photo. Make it your own.

This link has a video with examples for inspiration and several more links that will answer your questions. Another link with a gorgeous example of a pocket letter.

For this particular swap, you do not have to decorate the back. So it only has to look pretty from the front. Not do you have to decorate the outside of the pockets on the front. Just add lovely things to the inside of the pockets and that will be fine. Of course you can always do more than is required! You may create with your choice of a theme or none at all.

*No glossy magazine cutouts or pixelated printer images.
