Happy letter box March

Theme of the Happy letter box Mail Art Project for the month March :

My dream for our country, inspiration for our king.


Nathalie came up with this theme, it is related to the upcoming coronation of Prince Willem Alexander of the Netherlands on the 30th of April.

These envelopes are made by Ivy :
A collage on front and back of the envelope with text that tells about "my dream":
To be more aware of our environment , to recycle as much as possible.


The second envelope: 
"A dream" to be more aware of the people around us. 
To be friendly to each other, to say nice things, give compliments,to have time for elderly people, help each other,to  help people who need it without expecting anything in return, to do volunteer work.



The third envelope: 
To respect each others culture and live in harmony together..



The following envelopes are made by Nathalie:
Very creative, with lots of "Dutchness",the colors of the Dutch flag in the balloons, in the corners pictures of the stamp with Queen Beatrix and To be King Willem Alexander, a Delfts Blue vase with tulips and little golden trimmings. I also like how the envelope has the address appearing as an envelope standing on a little table waiting to be mailed. Nice work. :-)
 This beautiful envelope is made with a word of the theme, the word dream and as you can see it is a very dreamy lovely envelope.
I love all the different butterflies and the pretty colours that she used, also the envelope is decorated with pretty  stamps and little pink glitters, and Nathalie also drew a little white branch with pink (magnolia?) flowers, very pretty, I love all the little details on it.
and the back side is pretty as well:
Pretty mail-art envelopes made by Nathalie, the front....
 and the back sides are pretty as well...



The following envelope is made by Laura from Scotland, she made it all in the dutch royal theme, nice research! and she made a pretty matching postcard with it. As she writes on the card it is her first attempt of mail art and she is looking forward to make more and better mail art each time. 
I think it is great that she joined us, and I really enjoy every attempt of creativity, so well done Laura, and I am looking forward to your next one. Lets inspire each other.
