I am back today to share a Pocket Letter! These are a hot trend in blogland now but I was surprised when I posted my first one to discover a lot of my readers have not seen them before! You can read about the origin of Pocket Letters here. They are fun to give and fun to receive! I won a Pocket Letter from Michele during the Cat Lovers Blog Hop so I decided to make one for her in return. We are both cat lovers so I went with a theme of coffee and cats. For the stamped images, I used a chalkboard technique - first time I've tried this!
I will share each pocket separately and below will list products used.
