I actually use double stick tape to line with with another cool piece of paper (map, ad, magazine page, etc) to make the paper stronger and make the envelope more interesting...so easy and such fun.

I was lucky enough to get some ID books from my trip to Eastern Europe at the flea markets so they will go into the mix as well. And no, I am not resending the vintage altered envelopes -- they can be framed -- but I do send the new altered envelopes. I will do a post on the altered passports after I finish a couple of them...I am so glad you enjoyed the post.

Do you tear them apart and use various pages in other projects? Please tell me!
