Here’s my submission for the contest:
Here’s an idea for a neat little book made out of ENVELOPES!
I used a bunch of random envelopes I had of varied designs and sizes and then cut them down so they were smaller but still made a pocket. Some were sealed and some weren’t, and for the sealed ones, [...]
