Halloween Whole Page PL

I finished it......well......so far. I am having visions of various black cats roaming around and taking naps on shelves. Anyway, here it is;



I added a lot of different types of stickers, a few paperclips, a bit of ribbon and some (NOT WASHI) tape. I hope whoever gets it enjoys it. Instead of messing up the profile by adding things to the pockets I have decided to add a separate packet for them tucked inside the bigger envelope. (The only way to mail this is flat.) See if you can spot all the changes, additions.

Longer and longer between times.

Rare Oddities
This called for a little different approach because of the nature of the graphics. My smaller (3 5/8 x 2 5/8) cards ended up on the right side.
It does seem to be a long time between posts these days. At least I had a good excuse.

While going through my paper stash I found I own 4 Graphics 45® designs. I decided to make a pocket letter from each of them since there was so much paper just sitting there and taking space.

Anyone familiar with Graphics 45 paper knows it is beautiful front and back and often difficult to cut into just because of that. To keep the graphics looking intact I changed my insert size. This lessens the gap side to side and end to end between pockets. For the top three I made my cards 3 5/8 x 2 5/8.
For the rest I made them 3 3/4 x 2 5/8. (the lower 6 pockets of my page are slightly larger lengthwise than the top 3.) This helped it to look more like a picture than a bunch of pockets.

I have decided anything I decorate them with will go on the outside of the pocket with goodies (if any) tucked safely in the back.

Slowing down

I haven't posted here in a while. I am always busy doing something but never get ahead.

I seem to have had a lot of re-sends lately. That means the 1st swap got lost/stolen/whatever and I had to produce a replacement. It is much harder to do than the 1st go around. I do not have a lot of duplicate stuff so I have to go looking again to fulfill the requirements and I never feel as inspired the 2nd time.

This funk too shall pass.

Looking forward to Fall and all the beautiful colors.

These are from last year.
