I have a challenge that I think might be fun!

I was just reading Paperclippings, which is a fun blog I came upon by Meredith.  There was an entry about using "found items" ~ which really took me back to thinking about scrapbooking as a child.  My Mom bought me a big 12 x 12 journal basically and said to use it as a scrapbook.  What I would do was cut out pictures in magazines and glue them into it.  Pictures of toys I wanted, or pictures of eyes, with eyeshadow colors that I liked.  I would rip pictures out of some of my books that I liked and I would write on the pages.  This is what scrapbooking was to me as a kid.  I didn't have rubons, ribbon, chipboard and all of that other fun stuff that we use today.

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 paperclippings 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.  smile   Oh and let's check in every few days to share photos.  I'll post something in the next few days.  This idea just came to me, so I need some time to gather some stuff.  wink

Oh and here is a link to the blog that I got this idea from:  http://www.paperclipping.com/2007/10/15 … und-items/

Re: I have a challenge that I think might be fun!

Hi girls, I have been MIA due to this new job I started, and it really has kicked my butt these past two weeks sad.  I am finally gaining back my energy to participate again on the AMM board smile, so count me in on this challenge.  Pretty cool challenge to!!!

Re: I have a challenge that I think might be fun!

Count me in too!  I love this idea - I remember looking at my mom's scrapbooks that were like this too!  I loved them because it really showed what was popular when she was growing up and how the brands have changed over the years.  One of my favorite things growing up was creating collages (sp?)!

Re: I have a challenge that I think might be fun!

Michelle... I just started this myself..did not realize that it was up on Paperclippings as well.

About two weeks ago, I suddenly became nostalgic about my childhood...and thought about the scrapbooks I kept. Just magazine cuttings, tissue paper, crepe paper and what we called in India as glaze paper- which was just a coated thin paper for origami.

So in fact I started my little book. I made my own journal off a tutorial I found. Made it with index cards... and on there I just journal something from the day.. nothing fancy.. a little doodling, maybe a stamp or two.. I figured that every little thing cannot become a 12x12 page.. so why not keep a little journal.

I will post my pics a little later.. have to travel this week... but I am having fun with this book.

Re: I have a challenge that I think might be fun!

I am in definitely. I still have the album I did in Highschool that now looking back is my first ever scrapbook I kept up with. It has a bunch of pictures of my highschool year and crazy clippings, letters from friends, ex-boyfriends letters,flowers and school stuff and my own drawings. It is one of my goals to take apart and put in a acid free album so that the pictures dont get messed up. I guess I have been scrapbooking since I was young just didnt know that's what its called. I will take a picture of it and you guys will laugh but oh well its for real. But I will do a new one just for this challenge. Are we all committing to non scrapbook materials or what? This sounds like fun since I love things like this. Awesome Michelle cant wait. big_smile
