In The Mail

A few days ago, I pulled out this pile of miscellaneous new and used envelopes.
I also pulled out this container of fun items I've been saving for a crafty day.
And I ended up with these 11 Mail Art envelopes.
I was having so much fun that I went ahead and pulled out a handful of blank flashcards, some washi tape and a few markers to create custom notes to go in each envelope. Then I  threw in a few flat embellishments just for fun!

I did take a photo of the pile of envelopes all ready to be mailed, however while I was editing photos that one was inadvertently deleted (oops). So you'll just have to imagine it yourself - all those happy envelopes piled high, stamped, addressed, and ready to be on their way!

    Oh how much fun - I decorate envelopes for cards often, did for the class kits but don't for 'just because'. Hmm, thanks for that inspiration I'm going to start looking for new bits to use :)

    Oh and to think I've been sorting all those extra envelopes to the recycle pile - I might have to start decorating them too. Great post, Melissa.

    Hi
    Thanks for standing up for biblical principles you're not quite alone! Lol meanwhile how did you address the envelopes so they could be read?

    Thanks happysnapper!

    I added white address labels to the envelopes so the addresses could be read.
