envelopes to be envied

Aren't these pretty to make a gift or greeting extra special? Very simple to make with unused wallpaper, scrapbook paper, pages from old books, quality gift wrap and unused maps. We have several outdated road atlases that would be a great source. Just a few simple steps, using an envelope as a template.
