Week three already! This week's prompt was to add an envelope to our journals. It could be any kind of envelope: from junk mail, bill, or friendly letter.
I decided to use an envelope from one of the bills that came this week. I cut it a bit, added some embroidery doodling and regular doodling. The little birds were from a cupcake flag.
I went searching in my letters box for something to use underneath the envelope. I used an old customs form for a package my mom had sent me and part of an old envelope too.

Mail has always been very important to me. It is a way I keep connecting with my mother and my best friend in France, as well as friends.
Check out all the details for this week's challenge here: Week Three Challenge: Art to the 5th.
Oh, I love real letters! It has been a few years since I've received one (or sent one, either!). What a lovely thing to do with your mother.
ReplyDeleteLove the doodle stitching... and that you have years of correspondence by mail. So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI haven't finished my page yet...thanks for the wonderful example in your page this week. I love old letters...treasures!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at The Documented Life Project site and as a stationary lover, was very excited by the idea! Too late for 2014 - will look into doing my own thing (I already journal, so that's a good start) but maybe for 2015. Must get some supplies - washi tape and watercolor pencils and paper to start!
