Pocket Scrapping Out of Order: Tip 4 & 5
Hey scrappers, Polly Jewelle here! Today I have a two more tips in our pocket scrapping out of order series to share with you. Although I primarily do hybrid pocket scrapping I believe these tips can work with digital pocket scrapping as well.

Hybrid Pocket Letters
Hybrid Pocket LettersIn the world of pocket scrapping there is a new trend - pocket letters. Pocket letters are a wonderful mix of pocket scrapbooking and artist trading cards. The idea is to send a pocket page filled with all sorts of little trinkets to a friend or swap partner. It's a fun way to send happy mail. Pocket letters can be adapted across many genres including pocket scrapbooking, planning, art, mixed media, and even pen pals. The possibilities are endless. The letters can be random or themed and the pockets can contain anything from cards to embellishments and ephemera. Here are a few of the hybrid pocket letters that I have created for a recent swap.

I simply resized the journal cards, in a photo editing software, to … [Read more...]
