LSRUS: Pretty Happy Envelope #1

Hello everybody! This will be a new series! For this swap you will be making a handmade envelope. It should be no smaller than a 4x6 envelope. You can use a magazine, newspaper, book pages, wrapping paper, decorative paper, etc. You must laminate the envelope with tape to reinforce it if you use a thinner type of paper. The idea is to just make a cute envelope for your partner. I do suggest 12x12 decorative paper as it is strong. If you are not at all crafty then you can decorate a premade envelope but no sticker slapping. You must put forth some effort by drawing, painting, or altering the envelope and making it look pretty.

Inside of the envelope you will enclose a letter on pretty paper or a note card for your partner. Then you will place 5 items inside of this envelope for your partner as well. The items you enclose are entirely up to you but this is happy mail so send somethin nice. Try to bring happiness into your partner's day. The letter should be uplifting as well as the 5 surprises.

• make an envelope by hand or decorate a premade one

• an uplifting letter to your partner on pretty paper or a note card
