recycled mail scrabook/cardmaking/stationary paper


I bet you've thrown away like 
50 pieces of this cute stuff this month. 


I can't throw away cute paper


I have tried



but I am getting better 
at making useful 
projects from the 
cute old paper



for example this collection of recycled 
card-making/scrapbooking/stationary paper


made completely from old mail



I have one (10 piece) set of assorted 6in x 6in paper




Four (10 piece) sets of 4in x 4in paper



and one (16 piece) set of assorted sizes and patterns



the 4in x 4in sets are up on etsy





I will be listing the rest of the collection soon


hope you love cute paper as much as I do



now go make someone you love 
an adorable handwritten card



I promise it will change their day!




7/26/13 UPDATE!!!

Just got a note back from someone who bought some of my recycled envelope stationary and this is what it became!

awesome vintage art supply case



This is the type of antique find that I LOVE. 


When it came to me it was chock full of half used 
paint tubes, paint brushes and turpentine.




 It is just so personal and sweet. 




It's like a little hobby time capsule.




 People buy crafty things like paints and supply boxes 
with the full intention of using the entire jar, 
tube or bottle to make something beautiful. 




It's a little eerie to wonder what happened to N.M. that didn't allow him or her to finish the supplies.















 On a happier note... it's for sale on my etsy page : )

Some days I want to study.... 




Some days I just want to stitch together 
little paper and bead flowers...







Check out my Etsy shop! 
More listings to come!







Morning Inspiration!










I am so not there yet but someday I want to make it to one of their classes...

actually... we should request a Detroit class.
