It's been a while since I've posted about my cards, but I've also really needed to find my own 'niche'...
Lately I've been showing you a bit about my Pocket Letters. Essentially, they are collectible card pouches that are filled with love and creativity. Instead of holding baseball cards or regular trading cards, they hold one of a kind crafty cards, and behind each card there are extra goodies to be found.
My good friend Shaunery led me down my recent path to ATCs and finally to the doorstep of a wonderful Pocket Letter swap group!
My first ever Pocket Letter to create was this one:
Inspired by the theme of 'LOVE', I really impressed myself with it. You'd never be able to tell that this was my first PL, let alone, my first swap!
And then it happened, I got paired with a partner...and that partner just so happened to be the wonderful woman who created our group. Oh man, talk about PRESSURE! I'd seen her post countless pictures of her creations...how could I ever live up to that?
But I did, I mean, is my Pocket Letter not absolutely fabulous?
Well, the one she sent me finally came in the mail...drumroll please...
Is it not the most amazing thing you've ever laid eyes on? And can you believe it's mine?! This one of a kind piece of art is MINE! And it just took my breath away!
I so enjoyed pulling out all the little extra goodies she'd put behind each card. I've never felt so special before!
I hope she likes mine! Granted, I put my extras to her in separate little baggies in the package itself, so I kind of bent the requirements to fit my needs (it felt like some kind of sin to put them behind my cards, and trust me, some of them I had to make sure were perfectly placed). But I really hope she likes hers! Because the pictures don't do it a justice!
So, without further hesitation, I'd like you to get to know lore about my partner, the amazing: Lorrie Nunemaker!
Her blog will now be included amongst my hot links section (with her permission of course)!
It seems I've really found my niche. But I'll still be up to my regular crafty antics, handmade cards included, because that's where it started after all...
Until next time,
C.Jackson
I am so glad you are enjoying the swap! Your cards are beautiful. I like Lorrie's too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just great? I've got one more I'm expecting in exchange for my Breast Cancer awareness piece.
