1 more Loaded Envelope to share today, 

this time for baby girl

I changed the envelope design

as I wasn't happy thing were getting crushed in the box style.

Loaded Envelope

Bucket style which as a rounded envelope

this one holds a lot more

I didn't give this one side seams 

instead I just curved the front folds and didn't join them as tight.

I had to make a concertina base, 

so that it expanded to fit the new shape.

Cute little dressed teddy in the one.

I added 2 handmade paper and lace dresses
