And the envelope says…..

The TAIF prompt is to use envelopes.

I used two. In one mini album. To hide all the for your eyes only’s that I put into Phil’s mini album. The mini album that was completely FOUND objects, except for one sheet of Hambly and the dymo tape. All the carboard is from cereal boxes and mac and cheese! Oh yeah and the thread that holds the thing together. The cover is thin pine ply leftover from school projects, which you will see more of, I might add!

And without further ado….. here is the mini album of which I speak!

I’m doing an ATC swap with the SUPER MEGA TALENTED Debee Campos. She is one of the biggest influences in most of my scrapbooking projects, so it’s an honor to do a swap with her! Here’s what I’ve done.

I’m not sure how many we’re doing… but I figured four is an even number! What else is going on? Well, lots more creating to be sure. A little bit of cleaning perhaps. And lots of enjoying the fact that WE FINALLY FINISHED THE FLOORS TODAY!

I’ve been inspired by Kara‘s the Art is Found blog and decided to make a book using all the paper/packaging from my shopping trips and catalogues.  It’s pretty random and completely thrown together.  But I had fun making it!  The cover is made from a cardboard box, duct tape and an UO bag.

Here’s the inside.
The brown background on the right side is from a label that was stitched to a pair of jeans.  I typed random shopping stuff on it

I used Anthro tags to make the LOVE ^

This one was my favorite!  ^

There’s a lot more to show, but rather than making this a really long post, I just put all the images up in the gallery to the left.
Here’s the back cover:

I used a return slip for UO for it.  This was really fun getting messy and throwing something together!  Made me happy.
