Ugly Papers???

My newest idea in the craft room is to challenge myself and look outside of the box. This time with some cheap old paper I had previously written off because I was unsure what to do with it and didn't particularly like it anyway. After seeing some wonderful creations on others blogs made from patterned paper I had never though much of, I realised that I need to look at some of my supplies in a new light. So this is what I came up with and I love it. Very simple, but I am satisfied that I have not let this paper go to waist and have created something I would be proud to send to a best fried for her birthday.
