I started this card last night when I found an old calendar at the bottom of a craft closet I was 'bunging out'. I love to recycle and to use a colourful calendar page is perfect and besides to throw such beautiful paper out would be a sin!!! LOL I cut the lattice with a spellbinder's die and used the rest of the page to make the envelope. The small picture comes from the back of the calendar. There are still a few pictures left so recycle or up-cycle ...I'm a happy camper!!

Beautiful rich colours. I love the way you have recycled your calendar. I have a couple put aside for when inspiration strikes - the ones that you just can't toss out. Love the matching envelope too. I always makes cards that just don't fit in regular envelopes and always recycle unwanted design papers that I pick up at the recycle desk at my monthly stamp group meeting to make envelopes. The local post office just loves seeing bright envelopes and always asks where I buy them from. he he

Love this, Sue! I have tons of old calendars & I've been using them for envies & the pretty pics on cards for a long time. Extra points for the great recycling!
