Description:

We'll go through the alphabet, 3 letters at a time, creating mail art for our partners. These mail art envelopes / postcards could go in smashbooks, journals or albums when you have a whole A-Z set :) We'll have 3 partners & you'll create and send 1 Mail Art piece for each partner.

Mail art is a decorated envelope, handmade envelope, or postcard. If you are sending a postcard, please make sure it is on a sturdy piece of card, cardboard, or card stock; it may travel internationally so make sure it can withstand the journey. :) If you are making or decorating an envelope make sure it is sent "naked" e.g, stamped and addressed. Please do not send your mail art inside another envelope!

It's not as easy as that. Sorry! There are some interesting themes. Time to get really creative! Themes are not as easy as colours, and may challenge you to think, "How will I use that???" For each of your envelopes, there will be 4 themes that begin with that letter. Please incorporate at least one of these themes into your mail art.

This time is letters G, H, and I. Please choose a minimum 1 theme for each letter, from below, and use it in your mail art. You are welcome to try them all if you are super creative! Use cut outs, collage, embellishments, quotes, anything you like in your mail art using any any mediums and any techniques you want. The mail art is senders choice, but please create something you are proud of! (and no sticker slapping)

Partner 1 - G: Green, Global, Games, Grasshopper

Partner 2 - H: Hippo, Hat, Hot, Heart

Partner 3 - I: Ink, Ice Cream, Italy, Island

Please include at least a note for your partner. Extra surprises are optional.

Yes, thank you! I missed out on the previous letters, but plan to participate from here on out! Maybe halfway through we could have a "catch up" swap so those who missed a round or two can swap for the letters we missed!

@Babsmomof5 I'd be more than happy to private swap with you for a the first two sets! I missed a few because I my partners ended up sending me te same letter from one of the sets lol send me a pm if interested :)

I was definitely thinking of having a "catch up" swap, probably in January, where everyone can list the letters they are missing so we can all have a full set! I also missed the second set of letters and one from the first set. I figure there will be a few "catch up" swaps, to try and get all the letters for everyone.
