Pushing the Envelope - on line class

The last of the finishing touches have been added to my newest on-line class called "Pushing the Envelope".

In this class, I will teach you how to construct this unique book made from security envelopes.

 

This is a great recycle project, the books pages are made with security envelopes. How unique is that! Each envelope features a top loading pocket that holds  additional pages that are removable.  This book would make a great journal, scrapbook, memory album, travel journal or recipe book. The possibilities are endless.

Made with the simplest of supplies, you will not want to stop at making just the one book.

I too would be interested to know what you mean by security envelopes - we may call them something else here in the UK. Also what size envelopes do you recommend?

[Jane Kimball]

Can you please tell me what kind of security envelopes you mean and what size? There seems to be a lot of envelopes described as security.

Looking forward to you answer and joining your class. Jane

Ok, I am taking this as a sign...I have gotten several cool security envelopes in the mail lately and who would throw away perfectly good art supplies? So...I'm headed over to sign up for the class. Looks awesome!

Ohhhh this looks delish! I have been wanting to do one of your classes! This is the perfect opportunity. Can't wait.

I forgot you were going to start up another class! I haven't finished the fantasy book, yet, so it's a good thing this class will be open for a long time! Hope you be taking down the Fantasy class....I need it yet! I do like the idea of using the security envelopes. I have been saving them since you first mentioned them but I keep forgetting to open them carefully so they're all ripped.....of course I could use the box of un-used envelopes!!

I am looking forward to this class; I need to
push some boundaries. I love your journals; so
i know there will be a lot of inspiration!

[Ellen]

This looks fun, Patty, can't wait...I do need a shove, lol!
I always love mail, now i can make better use
of it and recycle it into art!
