A few weeks ago, I participated in Ginger’s Mail Art Exchange! I designed a piece of mail for Danielle over at EcoScrapbook. Danielle already posted the finished product, but I wanted to show you the process!
The theme was “Earth.” This was too perfect because I was designing for Danielle, who is very big on using eco-friendly materials. I was determined to use only what I had in my stash and better yet – I didn’t use anything that was ever purchased new.
I picked up pieces of magazines I had been saving and picked a page from a leftover book from The Book Project (my massive book wall art project).
I decided it would be even cooler if I sent a postcard. I used a 5×7″ piece of chipboard that came with a Snapfish photo order.
I tore strips from the magazine and book pages, hoping for a raw sort of look. I glued everything down to one side of the card. I used a black pen to add some text that I thought was really neat.
I decided not to Mod Podge or seal the top. First, Mod Podge doesn’t do well on glossy paper (it beads up). Second, I actually wanted the card to get distressed going through the mail.
I kept the front really plain and glued a picture of the Earth that I cut out of a museum brochure.

Almost Never Clever 
I loved opening up my mail box to find your mail art. It’s now on my (real life) pin board in my craft room. Thank you! Fun to see how it was made too!
Awesome! I was hoping it would be something that you would put up somewhere and get some use out of. Mission accomplished!
