Gorjuss pocket letter...

I made this pocket letter for a swap on pocketletterpals.com our theme
 was senders choice, which is so nice some times to just go with the wind...

The little cutiepie in the middle pocket was my starting point, I just love those gorjuss girls!

I am in love with this color combo!

The little heart for the love quote pocket I crocheted.

For the 'open your heart' pocket I took apart a necklace, the colors on that heart is so pretty.

I made a little tag and used some chain from the necklace to attach it along with a tassel and leaf also from that same necklace.

That beautiful bird was a goodie in a pocket letter I received in another swap. Love it!

The kite was also a received goodie. The lightpost stamp is new, so cute!

More pretty gorjuss girls!

The little tea cup girl was perfect for a pocket with a tea bag!

And finally the envelope...

Valentines...

Every Inchie Monday #8: Earth

I didn't feel like drawing the planet earth...

I was more in the mood for some doodling, so this is what I got...

Valentines Pocket Letter...

We don't celebrate Valentines Day in Denmark so this is the first time I have made anything Valentines themed!
This pocket letter was for my pocket letter pal Aparna in India.

Here was the chance to use my tiny cupid stamp!

The middle pocket is a printed image that I went over with some glitter gelly roll. It was actually my starting point and what I chose the colors from...

Butterflies and a beer...

Every Inchie Monday #7: Beer

 I might as well admit it... I hate beer.. Never drink the stuff...

Diet coke... That's me...

If it absolutely has to be something with alcohol in it I'll take an ice cold glass of Bailey's.

I have been wondering what to do with the inchies this year as I want to have them side by side.
But I don't think I want to hang them anywhere. So this weekend I had an idea for my journal...

I actually intended to just do a frame for each inchie as we make them but once I got doodling there was no stopping me! lol!

Sadly I was out of the polka dotted paper, which I adore! So I had to find something else for page two.

Let me tell you it was hard not to get busy doing some of the inchies! Oh, how I itched to do the dolphin and the whale!

Butterflies for France...

This butterfly themed pocket letter I made for a swap on pocketletterpals.com where I was paired with a French pal Armandine who sent me the most precious PL in return.

I just hope she enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed hers.

For the corner pocket with a bow around I used the backing from a pack of stickers. It was just too pretty to trash! The bottom corner with a flower was backing paper from a pack of brushes.

The butterfly lady I found on a google search and printed out.

A lot of these pretty butterflies were sent to me as goodies in pocket letters.

 

I love my alphabet stamp set and use it all the time!

I see more butterfly pocket letters in my future!
Mostly because I just bought a new paper pad filled with them...

Slip into an inch...

Every Inchie Monday #6: Slippers

I knew right away how I wanted to do this one. Finally an easy one!! lol!

I drew the slippers on polka dotted cardstock and glued on yarn for the part of the slipper that I do not know the English word for. Actually I don't know the Danish word for it either...

Is there a name for that part of a slipper?

A little rhinestone slipped (!) in there.

After our very manly theme last week, we need some sparkle! ;)

Now could I please have me some slippers-weather!

Pocket Letter of Bs... 

This was for a swapbot swap and went all the way to Africa!

Everything in this pocket letter was to begin with B.

Letter in Danish is 'brev'. Perfect for my first pocket. Then Bird, Bronze, Bow, Birdcage, Brads, Butterfly, Big and Buttons.

All except one pocket are cut down journaling cards. They are so pretty!

Bulldozer!

Every Inchie Monday #5: Bulldozer

So I had to ask my son what exactly a bulldozer look like...

Big wheels and a big shovel... 

This turned out a lot better than expected! I'm more of a cute cats and flower drawing kinda girl... ;)

Letter as a Pocket Letter...

The idea for this swap was to use your actual letter as a pocket letter...

I decided to make 9 little examples of how I might decorate a letter for my pocket letters...

Of course I forgot to take a picture of it after writing on these 9 little pieces of stationary...

It went straight into the envie...

... and off on it's way around the world...

This was a really fun idea for a letter swap!

For the love of a sofa...

Every Inchie Monday #3: Sofa

So last week I forgot to submit my inchie... But at least I didn't forget to make it! lol!

This week we have one of my favorite things! Sofa! I love mine!

Actually we're getting a new one this month.

Which is kind of sad... Since we have these wonderful huge soft floaters... But they are 15 years old and have seen 10 years of sticky fingers (and paws) and jumping kids (jumping cat too!) lets just say these sofas have seen better days...

I am treasuring every last minute with my favorite sofa EVER! ;)

Positive Quotes Pocket Letter for Vivi in Malta

This was a swap on pocketletterpals.com which paired me up with another Dane although she is living in sunny Malta!

I had just bought a pad of quote stickers and then this swap comes along... Meant to be...

The paper is new too. I totally love these wonderful colors!

All wrapped up and ready to go!

Pink pocket letter for Esther in the Netherlands

This was for a private swap on swap-bot.com.

For the first pocket I google translated 'hi' and 'letter'.

I completely fell in love with some beautiful stamps that were on a letter I received from Finland!

Yet another swap...

 This one for washi samples... I love washi!

Pink pockets...

Every Inchie Monday #2: Sun

Just a quick yellow marker sun with a dash of glittery gelly roll.

Tangles: Balo, Tipple

Pink Pocket Letter for Stine in Norway

 For this one I used journal cards. I have to cut them a bit to make them fit the pockets, but that's okay because they are so pretty!

Danish and Norwegian (Swedish too) languages are somewhat similar so I could write the letter in Danish for Stine. I rarely write letters in Danish, so that was nice!

Another great thing about mailing to a 'neighbor' is that it arrived in just 3 days! :)

We had snow yesterday, it rained away today, which is just perfect! The kids got to build a snowman, we had a snowball fight, lots of snowy fun...

And tomorrow we can drive to work on snowfree roads!

My little snow angels...

Last weekend we spent the afternoon by the sea. Despite the fact that there wasn't really any wind the waves were beautiful!

This is one of my favorite places. :)

 

One last inchie...

You would think that with the holidays there was eons of time to get crafty right??
But that does not seem to be the case. Just a couple of pocket letters and an inchie is what I have gotten done so far.
Most of this past week has been playing boardgames with the kids and the past 3 days also playstation gaming as my son got 3 new games for Christmas. And his crazy mom actually likes playing the kiddo lego games!

Hope you all are enjoying the holidays and getting your crafting on...
 
Every Inchie Monday #52: Next

The last inchie of 2015!

It's crazy to think that an entire year has passed since I made my very first inchie!

The arrow is pointing at the next 52 inchies coming in 2016!

But first let me just show off a pocket letter I made for a swap on swapbot.com!

Pocket Letter

For this one the theme was sender's choice... Which was really nice!

I randomly picked out pretty stuff and had a great time!

I bought a new stamp, it was the cutest and I had to get it!

It's the very sleepy kitty cat... I stamped some pocket sized patterned papers for that pocket as goodies along with some border punchies.

(Darn it!!! Just noticed I spelled sweetness wrong! Pffft... At least I got her name right... lol)

The leaves was cut from a thank-you note I had received that day. (Funny how every time I see a piece of paper, (or any little thing actually) I am always wondering if it would fit into a 2½x3½ inch pocket! ;) (Is that crazy...)
(That was rhetorical!)

The butterfly button and the flower punchie were goodies in a PL I received from India. The bird on a nest and the imagine tag were from another PL.

I like how each pocket is it's own... Let's hope my swap partner does too!

I wish you happy holidays and a very happy new year too!

Final Christmas letter of 2015...

 Every Inchie Monday #51: Evolution

Another tough inchie challenge!

How to simplify something as complex as evolution to fit in an inch!?

From ape feet to human feet...

Looking forward to next week's easy and straightforward prompt!

Christmas Pocket Letter

This PL went to my pocket letter pal in India, Aparna.

 I have used journaling cards for some of the pockets. The gold striped is a little envelope I have received in a swap. The Christmas bulb and cornet were both goodies in an incoming PL.

When I receive an envelope that has next to nothing on it I reuse it. On this one I could cover the address label with another label, or in this case, a journaling card. And the old stamp label I covered with this year's Christmas stamps.

We have some really cute ones with gingerbread hearts, men and women...

#whimsybykelly2015 300 creative days

It's a tractomotive?

Every Inchie Monday #50: Locomotive

Wow, this was a tough one! It was so hard to fit a locomotive into an inch!

I ended up just doing a toy locomotive...

(No, it's not a tractor. Really! See it has the connector on the wheels! lol!)

(Note to self... Locomotives needs more than two wheels... ;)

(Hey! It's a tractomotive!)

(No, wait! It's a tractor/loco transformer! My son would be down with that!)

Christmas Pocket Letter

Swapping some Christmas spirit through pocketletterpals.com. This one went to Susan in California...

Those little owls are my favorite Christmas PL decor! So cute!

Just two more days, then it's the wondrous Christmas holidays have arrived. Yay!

Half an angel...

Every Inchie Monday #49: Angel

I didn't want to draw an itty bitty tiny angel, so I opted to just draw part of an angel...

I love angels!

Since this is the season, I added plenty of stardust glittery gelly roll!

Pocket Letter Advent Calendar Part 3:

The final part of this little calendar for adults went just around the corner... At least it seems like Germany is very near by after having sent mail to Australia, Japan and Canada!

 I am sending out my last Christmas themed pocket letter monday hoping it will make it all the way to India before Christmas.
