I Miss Snail Mail!

I have an Exclusive Content post up for Scrapbooking From the Inside Out today.
You can see the actual post here, sharing tips on using the Tim Holtz distress marker that came with our kit this month.

This is my last layout to share for the month using the July Communication kit. As you can see, I used the marker in quite a few places. The journaling, dotted lines to mimic stitching on my pocket, and the stamped images. But I share a few more tips at SFTIO as well.
Also, for a great review and some cool projects created with the distress markers, check out a fun post by Tammy from her blog a few days ago. I really enjoyed it!

As for my layout, I just wanted to reminisce a little about how much I have always loved getting mail. And I have a few of my favorites in here. Wonderful letters from friends, a card from my mother-in-law, a special card from a friend after a miscarriage, a thank you note from my nephew, and an envelope from my sister-in-law with the stamp. You just have to wonder sometimes if mail will also become obsolete eventually. It kind of pushes me to want to send more physical mail :)

When I created this layout, I actually adhered each piece down in the position because I wanted it to keep it from wiggling around in my page protector. So truthfully the pocket is just for show and is attached with glue dots :)
So there you have it! A page that expresses my love of "snail mail".


I also want to share a great find that was posted on the "Communication" board in the SFTIO community by Bernice. It is about"listening and hearing" and I found it to be pretty interesting
One more thing and then I will let you go! If you are looking for some fabulous challenges, Rachel has started to share the monthly kit challenges
here!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
