So today when I came across a stack of magazines I knew exactly what I needed to do with them. I feel like I just rediscovered an old favorite song (the one that you used to play over and over and over again and then promptly forgot about for about 6 years. Cue the nostalgia!) Heads up on the addicting nature of this one. What you need: - Envelope (Pick any size you like–just make sure it fits within a single page of your selected magazine. 1.
