when i first started scrapbooking (as a kid) i used what i had handy... scraps. scraps from daily life... wrappers, brochures, business cards, dried flowers. in my 20's my roommate, cami, was a dear friend with a degree in art and the sweetest heart in the world. we'd make fun collages out of magazine clippings about life musings and silly things. our prized project was a set of 38 collaged squares for a friend's birthday... entitled 38 ways to forget your age. i wish we'd taken pictures of it. we laughed so much coming up with and making those little collages.anyway, to make a long story longer, the ever cool emilie ahern, inspired by amazing ali edwards, challenged the scrap review team to make a project out of junk mail. (you can check out the fun pages we made here.) it brought on a rush of all of those 20-something memories of late nights with mountain dew & red vines mixed with the smell of rubber cement. after making the layout for the scrap review, i got the bug again last night to make a few more recycled goodies. so i made a couple of cards and a tag, and generally trashed my room with scraps and clippings. caught the bug, too? head over to tsr and check out how you could win a fun goodie with just your old junk mail. :)
oh! and of course i was going to draw the winner of the tinymeat mini card holder today, too! thanks to random.org, we have a winner....-
Alicia Sharp said... - The name of my book would be " A Hillbilly's Life." I was born and raised in a very small town in N.C and we are all the time getting called "hicks" because of our country slang! That's OK tho caue I would not trade my life for anyone elses. I also know what true Southern Hospitality is!!
