Elf arrival letter 2015 (Polka Dot Stripe)

I decided to print out an arrival letter this year for out elf Polka Dot Stripe so I searched threw pinterest and didn't find many but I did find one, I basically copied it to a T changed the font and sizes and removed the colored letters. Click Here for the letter I used.

 I am using some new and old embellishments from my stash, the 3D stickers are the Micheal's brand, the elfs are new this year and the presents are from last year.

I added a gem to the elf hat which I got from my stash.

I used some liquid glue, tape runner and foam squares as well.

Finished letter

The tree was from last year the Hobby Lobby brand. 

I typed the letter and printed it our on 8 1/2 by 11 inch card stock then trimmed it down 3/4 of an inch on each side.  I choose a paper from a Micheal's 12X12 paper pack which I picked up a few new ones this year, I trimmed that down to 8 1/2 by 11. I used the tape runner to place the letter in the center of the pattern paper.

I added an extra foam square to the elf body to make him more even and also a gem to his hat.

I glued down the tree with liquid glue because its made with felt.

I will put this out with the elf and the girls countdown calender tomorrow morning.
