Lessology Challenge ....

Hello there ...

This week the DT of City Crafter Challenge were invited to join in the challenge at LESSology "You've Got Mail"
We were asked to create a project using anything related to mail ... and as always there has to be a recycled or up cycled item in your project ... I chose to up cycle an envelope 


This is how it was ... and I made use of the 'window' in there to create a desk calendar for my husband


I cut the envelope to make 2 pockets ... one to hold the current month and one to hold the rest of the calendar cards ... the envelope had this pretty pattern on the inside which I went with



This pocket is attached to the back of the window pocket so that he can just slide out the new month as and when


Thank you to the ladies at Lessology for inviting me 
This was fun to make and hubby likes it too!

 If you would like to join in the challenge head over to LESSology and take in all the wonderful inspiration on offer.... and go visit the rest of the City Crafter DT to see there wonderful projects

Have a wonderful day
Keep safe
