I was inspired by a book called "Good Mail Day" to create an art journal where the pages are photocopies of letters and envelopes. I am lucky enough to have saved all the letters which my husband and I sent to each other during the three years that I was in law school in Massachusetts, and he was doing graduate work in California and New York. For the page above, I copied one of his letters as the background. I stamped some flowers and postoids on it and then journaled on some artist tape. I also made a background page by copying a bunch of envelopes:
I added a picture of us (circa the early 80's), some stamping and some journaling. It's a fun project so far, and I'll be posting some more pages tomorrow, but with love letters from a different couple . . . any guesses as to who that would be?
If you are interested in receiving the book which gave me the inspiration for this art journal, check out my post about Pass the Book at this link.
