As Lisa and I share a fascination with things hidden, I made a little envelope, and tucked inside a scrap of paper with music notes, a tiny piece of lace, and a blue paper rose. 
 I also used a slide mailer (bought ages ago just because I loved the look of them) painted and collaged with paper, film negative and a little red felt heart ... it opens to reveal an ornate key and a quote (although sadly my handwriting is nowhere near as beautiful as Lisa's!)
