Envelope Birthday Book

Here is a book I made for my sister's 50th birthday present. It's made of regular greeting card envelopes bound together in a book. The cover is a Hambly transparency with a cute little crepe paper ruffle (sprayed with Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist to give it color).

Inside each envelope I placed a note along with a gift card for a particular place.
You'll notice on the pages I did a lot of the penant banners. I sort of caught the bug from www.houseof3designdistrict.blogspot.com and have been using this idea - uh, like everywhere.

The design for this book came from Heidi Swapp too. She did a 6x9 envelope book as a free class on her webshow. This was my version using envelopes and papers I had on hand.
Thanks for looking.
Jill

Thanks, Jerry.
Guess what I found when I was digging for the envelopes for this book? One of your very first cards - the wishing well design!! Vintage! Made me smile thinking of you and Kathy.

Good times. Those old cards and that vintage dream. I I wish I was doing them now (when I have some idea of what I'm doing).

Amanda graduates from college Saturday & Lindsay from HS next week. I turn 50 on Monday...

That old dream seems it was dreamt by another person...

(sorry it took so long to check back)
