Hi Michelle! This was a great tutorial. I saw someone use security envelopes to create background paper and I didn't note where I saw it. I asked on SCS if anyone could help and I was directed to your blog. I am so glad I was directed toward you. I'll definitely be checking back.
Great job and thanks for sharing.

i love this! i just made one and i will be teaching this in a class. Thank you so much
Love the first tutorial.. Here is an idea to go along with that.. why not make a coupon holder out of it and instead of sealing it, put round velcro on the flap so that it can be opened and shut easily.
