and my MIL even remembered to bring me her OLD calendars. Some were dated back to 1989!!! Can you believe she had kept them from that long ago? LOL

Some are too small to use but I am thinking I could make other envelope sizes with those. I only have the standard size envelope template. Do I need the other sizes? Christie, what sizes do you have or want?

I think you need every size. After all the other equipment you already have, whats a few envy templates???? I think you can get a package with all the sizes included.

Sherri, because of you -- I put out an e-mail at work asking for old calendars. Last time I checked, I had about 10 of them! Can't imagine how many will be on my desk next week. NOW WHAT do I do with them????

I did that, too, Nancy, and now I've got lots of calendars. I've made some A2 sized ones and with the scraps, I've made giftcard size - the size that one of those little note cards you get with a plant delivery. I happen to have a template that small, so why not use up the paper? I'll make a small card to go inside.

Now what I'm going to do with them all, who knows? They're just fun to make! :nod:

I bought a template from Hobby Lobby called Create-A-Lope but there are several free here

Hey!
What does that Create-a-lope look like?
I'll be going to M's tomorrow, and maybe they will have that???

I made some earlier this week. I plan to use them for flood cards. I have a regular template and a slim card template. It makes envelopes for 3x2. 3x4. 3x6. and 3x8 cards.

I have just the regular size but would love the 6x6 and the 5x7. I almost ordred them yesterday at work but got side tracked and never made the order. I just love my template! I've been making envies out of calendars too! I think I"ve made like 32 envies so far.

I have recycled 3 calendars into envelopes this morning. It has become a new Year's day tradition for me. I've got lovely Australian Wildflower envys, Aussie gardens, and Aussie beaches. My flood cardenvys are going to be cute! I better get going making some cards to go in the envelopes!

Here's (http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.F184860.desc.The-Enveloper-Envelope-Creator) one that QVC sells. I don't own it but it looks pretty interesting. I do have the Create-a-Lope and love it.

Here's a matching card and envelope (http://vada-stampsinkandpaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/calendar-cards.html)made from a calendar. Pretty snazzy!
