Altered envelopes

Hi everyone,
While surfing the web, I came across this wonderful lady's blog that caught my eye. Everything she does is bright and colorful raising your spirits high. I wrote to her and she shared this cute idea.
So for class we made these altered envelopes in a classy 40,s style. Of course you may do different styles so I will post some for you. This one is the actual one we made in class which the girls adored.

 The next one is a variation but still using a vintage theme and some pics from my collection!
So now just scroll down and see some of the others. If you want more details just let me know!!
Soooooo you say what will I do with them. You may give them as a gift with a gift certificate inside, or give a few together tied with ribbon to a very special friend. They can be addressed or sent directly to a person. 

A different twist on the subject could be using them for small items in your office----postage stamps, paperclips, rubberbands , etc. Oh see now you understand!!!!!!!

Beware!!! They are addictive so be prepared to use  up some of that unusual scrapbook paper and stickers. You can doodle, paint, stitch or glue anything on them to your hearts desire.

Well that is all for today. Enjoy making some of these made on business sized white envelopes.
Share one with a friend. And make sure you make one for ME!!
See you soon
Donna
