Description:

Recycling is one of my passions. Paper waste in particular really gets to me. So I've designed this swap to create mail art using only recycled items.

Envelope - either re-use an envelope you have received (junk mail/other incoming envelope) or create an envelope with recycled paper (book pages, publication pages <-- thicker than regular magazines, a cereal box. Anything goes as long as it is made out of recycled paper products.

Embellishments - this is mail ART after all, so gussy it up a bit. Use product labels, old stamps, other repurposed ephemera items. Again, anything goes as long as it's recycled.

Inside - a note for your partner with your SB info and the swap name (to make sure you're rated quickly/appropriately). One small flat surprise (does NOT have to be recycled!) - stickers, a postcard, notecards - just something nice that you'd enjoy receiving yourself.

Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. Obviously no flakers - no unexplained 1s or 3s. I want this to be fun for everyone, so I will angel if necessary.

If I have missed something, please kindly let me know (please, don't be all sarcastic and rude in the comments!).

Will you be doing this one again? I'm not sure I understand the 'rules' and I don't want to miss out on it.

I will certainly do another one if you decide to pass on this one @tamitam55 - I also replied to your message, but let me know if you have any other questions!

Do another one too....I'm doing this one too. I'm already working on it. :)

Should this be a type 3 since we are making the envelope? I am still pretty new to swap-bot so I am never sure.
