Why I am still saving my junk mail April 16, 2008
I am a little kitschy, and wouldn’t necessarily say I am always tasteful and stylish. Oh, and I am SO not a designer. So it is cool to see that the smarties at design*sponge think like me sometimes - they posted an inside out envelope tutorial too. I can’t resist pointing out that I did it a month earler 
After I posted my inside-out-envelope tutorial, some back linking led me to the Junk Mail Gems blog. Wow! Gretchen is a master re-purposer with a shop filled with awesome recycled projects.
So with security envelopes still on the brain, and a giant pile growing on my desk, I used some to decorate some 3×5 recipe cards. I used a few round hole punches to add some accents.
Nice nice nice. It is the greatest free paper around. I even used some to make product tags for my fibery goods in prep for the upcoming Color Fiber Festival. (Can you tell that I am trying to link to the festival in every post… Is it obvious?)
Get more security envelope inspiration from the Flickr Security Pattern Group.
You are so creative!! It just would never occur to me to do any of these things.
These are awesome! If only I could just get the “good” junk mail now
dood, link to the fiber festival in every post? AWESOME.
I cannot wait to see all you guys together and potentially take some classes…

i\’ll make sure to bring the fiance\’s fancy camera to get good shots of you and all your fibery goodness…OH! will the tags have those cute stamps you made a while back??? :o)
