I have a HUGE idea file for env.'s on Pinterest (over 1,000 pins!) and there is one I saved that's a crossword. Every so often, I clean up my pins, and when I came across it recently, nearly deleted it, as I wasn't sure how i could execute it.
But with a little creativity, I was able to make it work!
Finished env. ready to send. I'm sure there are better ways this could be done but for now, I used grid paper, as I wanted a fun colorful background (vs. just plain black). I hope it arrives lined-up perfect!
Backside.
plain env. w/out the insert
Black "puzzle" insert.
My clever clues! Yay or nay? (I esp. like 1 & 2 Down)
Trial piece I did for Jean. Used watercolor first to color in, but then thought it better with markers. Also, decided to end up sending to George, as Jean mentioned that on the blog, and I wanted to send him a little something, as he's Jean's caregiver till she's better.
Same clues, except for her name ("Another name for Denim: Blue ____").
*UPDATE:
Jean posted on her blog and I love how it looks sent!
