Mini Pocket letter Using 3 x 4 CTMH Picture My Life Cards With Everyday Life Memory Protectors

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is staying cool with all of this super hot weather.  It is too hot to do anything outside in Southern CA.  Over 100 degrees this week!  I saw somewhere in CA where it was over 120 degrees.  I feel so bad for the people who live in that area.  

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Anything Goes Blog Challenge.  I decided to try my hand at creating my version of the Mini Pocket Letter.  I also created a video; which takes you through creating one of these pocket letters.  

I didn't have the Player card size pocket holder; so I used the CTMH 3 x 4 Memory Protector pages that hold Picture My Life cards.  These are part of the fabulous CTMH Everyday Life Album/Planner.  There are 3 different sized memory protectors for this album; so any of them could be used for a pocket letter.  Check out the other Picture My life cards and products to create Pocket Letters or Pocket Scrapbooking.

I needed a Memory Protector that would be big enough for my Art by Miran digi image.  It turned out perfect.  It took me longer to create this pocket letter than it would have to create a card; because it was all new to me.  I have used the CTMH Picture My Life cards for scrapbooking; but have never thought to use them as a pocket letter.  

I hope you enjoy my Mini Pocket letter and will try this size; as it is perfect.  I was intimidated by the 9 player card memory protectors; and later saw people dividing them into mini ones; but I actually like using the 3 x 4 size much better.  This is my first pocket letter; so I am sure they will improve with practice.  LOL!   I just found a tutorial for little envelopes that will work great for holding the gifts for this pocket letter.  So many fabulous ideas out there on YouTube.  

Pocket Letter/Pocket Mail/Pocket Srapbooking Lovers - Cricut Artfully Sent is retiring and it has lots of pocket cards and sleeve cards for your Pocket letters.  So many awesome cards to choose from.  Click here to see the handbook.  Click here to view more information on this awesome Cricut Cartridge - 700 plus items.  All images can be sized for your specific pocket card with the Cricut Explore Cutting Machine.

Art by Miran Rose Garden Whimsy Rubber Stamp Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I was in MO for 10 days and then came home.  I find it is very challenging to go on a vacation or any type of trip; because I am really out of it when I get home.  It takes me at least a week, sometimes more to acclimate and to get back in my routine.  It felt good to finally get time to craft again.  I miss not being able to craft when I go anywhere.  Does anyone else have that problem when they come back home from any trip?  I feel like I am in a daze; and it takes me longer to get things done than it normally would.  LOL!

It is time for another Art by Miran Facebook Anything Goes challenge.  I decided to use this beautiful Art by Miran Rose Garden - Whimsy Rubber Stamp.  Isn't she pretty?  I fell in love with her and had to create something with her.  Whimsy stamps are so perfect every time you use them.  They stamp very well and very clear.  I use Memento ink for my rubber and clear stamps and it works very well.  It won't smear or bleed when you try to color it. Other inks I have tried smear and look terrible when you try to color them.

Here is a picture of my card.  I hope you like it.  I had to use the pink and yellow together.  I tried to stay away from blonde hair; using browns; and still ended up having the hair color too close in color to the yellow in the flowers.  LOL!
