I hope the recipient of this pocket letter really likes it because I had a lot of fun doing it. This is my 3rd Pocket Letter - The're something fun and different to do! 

You might be asking your self - What in the world is a Pocket Letter? I haven't ever heard of this before. You're not alone - This is something very recent for me to. You can ready more about what a pocket letter is and join some Facebook Groups so that you can get some swap buddies too. I'm involved with Pocket Letter's for Beginners and Pocket Letter Pals.

Ok! So since this is last week in June - Here is the completed Pocket Letter! The lady who received it said she really enjoyed it! :)

Ching-Chou Kuik DT Call

Hello there Blogger Friends!

I just saw in the Ching-Chou Kuik FB Group, that she is hosting a DT call!!

I have only had the opportunity to play with a few of her wonderful images, but each one is such a delight to color! So I figured I would try out for the DT Call!

Here are some of my projects featuring some of Ching-Chou Kuik's images:

This one features Deep Sea Sirene which is available through Sweet Pea Stamps. I made a mixed media project with this beautiful image - the full tutorial for creating this beauty is here.


 This was the first image I ever had a chance to color by Ching Chou Kuik and it's called Green Moth Maiden, I ended up making a Art Journal page with this lovely image.


I also just purchased Love in Spring so that I can play along in the Kit & Clowder Facebook Challenge so I'll add that one here soon too ;)

AND

I'm working my way through the June Create & Learn Classes which features Hi Deer and Red Panda so I'll post those soon as well. 

-A little bit about me -
I've been crafting ever since I was a little girl. Whenever there were arts and crafts involved I had to be there! As far a cardmaking, scrapbooking, and such I've been doing that the last 6 years. I've started trying my hand at some other things as well such as mixed media, and art journalling.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs,
Samantha

Letters 4 Landen

Hello! 

So today I wanted to share something different with you. Usually you see cards from me that part of my DT commitments today's post is for something to help a sweet little boy.


A fellow crafter named Mari - is hosting a card drive for him and you can read more about him below:

"Today I want to share with you a story about Landen. 

Landen is a very sweet little boy that was diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this year. He is 4 years-old and has 3 years of intense chemo treatments ahead of him. 

When he was asked what made him happy he had a very simple answer: Mail. And that's how Letters for Landen was born. In the beginning he got a lot of letters but they have really slowed down. So I am asking for your help. All you have to do is send a card or letter to Landen. I know he would love it." - Mari

I don't know about most of you, but about 80% of my cards don't get sent out, or sold, I just hold on to them. I have atleast 60 - 70 handmade cards just stashed. So why not take some of those and send them to this 'lil guy and brighten up his day a little?

Below is a picture of the first card I sent to him - he has already received and said he loved it!


So on top of brighting up this childs day - Mari has also gathered up some sponsors for this drive aswell!

Currently the following companies are sponsoring this event:

1. From the Paper Temptress - a $15 gift certificate
2. From the Paper Temptress- a Copic Paper Sampler Pack
3. From Lacy Sunshine- $20.00 GC good on digital products
4. A $12 Saturated Canary Gift Certificate (provided by me)
5. A Mystery box of craft supplies - Lots of really good stuff 
6. From Scarpper's Delights- TBA
7. Kids Prize - it's a surprise!
8. From Spectrum Noir- a 6 pack of Spectrum Noir markers (winner's choice)
9. From Crafter's Companion USA- a $15.00 GC to the Crafter's Companion store. 

Cards and letters can be sent to:

Letters for Landen
66 South Richview Avenue
Youngstown, Ohio 44509
