Make your own stationery.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

Don't throw away those old greeting cards! This project shows you how to use them, along with your favorite stickers and scrapbook supplies, to make your own personal, original stationery to send to your friends.

You can design notecards, greeting cards and, with some ingenuity, even thank-you notes personalized for each friend who will receive one. You can even make and decorate envelopes to match, just like the expensive stationery you see in stores.

As an added advantage to this project, you'll be recycling paper and giving it a longer life than it had when it was used for its original purpose.

This project will require work and brainpower. You'll need to try hard to find pictures that look good together and can make new, attractive scenes, suitable for sending to good friends. Your success will depend on the amount of effort you give.
