My friend, Dedra, sent me a link today that made me so happy. The link goes to a thread in the message board of a kit club/scrapbook store that she designs for, A Million Memories.
Michelle, the owner of the site and the one who started the thread, mentioned my recent post on using found items and began a challenge with a small prize. Here is what you should do if you want to join in:
I thought a fun challenge would be for us to gather things around our house, or in our cars, at work, or wherever that are things that you could use in your scrapbook, if you didn’t have all of the fun goodies we have today. On the paperclipping site, she had clothing tags, barettes and a bunch of little bits and pieces of things that I thought looked like fun. So here is my challenge ~ let’s spend the next week finding things that we can use in our scrapbooks that we wouldn’t necessarily BUY to go in our scrapbooks. Make sense? I’ll give away a rak at the end for my favorite pile of findings.
Before throwing away Trinity’s ripped backpack from last year, I cut away some of the pieces that will someday be more meaningful to Trinity than any expensive embellishments I could have bought at the store. From her old dress shoes I pulled some unusual bling and some metal pieces.
What kinds of things are you finding?
