A Birthday Pocket Letter

Hello everyone! I have jumped on the Pocket Letter bandwagon. I think they are really cool, so I made one for my niece, Brooke, for her birthday. It took me awhile to make it and come up with some ideas, but in the end, I think it turned out super cute. In the pockets I've added:
  • Washi tape and stickers;
  • Ghirardelli chocolates;
  • Decals for her nails;
  • Shaker pendant necklace with her initial inside;
  • Zinnia seeds for her to plant;
  • Ribbon;
  • Die cutouts to make some bows like the one above the birthday bear die cut;
  • Die cut lacy oval to use on a project; and
  • More Ghirardelli chocolate (can't have too many of those!).  
I had a lot of fun making this and will make more for other occasions. You should give them a try! I hope you enjoy my project.
