Weekly Challenge #122 (2/15-2/21)
 

Welcome to Weekly Challenge #122!

Scrapbooking began in a time before photos were common. Families 'scrapbooked' bits of ephemera like letters, cards, pieces of clothing and even locks of hair to help preserve their memories.

Your challenge this week is to get back to the origins of scrapbooking and scan one of the paper or other small mementos you brought home from your vacation and use it as an element in your page. If you don't have a decent scanner, take a picture of the item and extract the image for your page. If you absolutely can't do one of these two (but I'd really like you to do one of these two!) you could find an image of the item online and use it. Clip art doesn't count, this should be something you did or could bring home! If you want to do a paper page, you can just stick the item on :D I really want to see you use the item as a page element and not just in another picture on the page.

Some things you could use for this challenge: receipts, menus, napkins, stir sticks, party bracelets, buttons, hotel stationary.....I'm sure there are lots more things people have collected and brought home as vacation mementos, use what you have that's meaningful to you!

I originally made this page for one of the speed scraps but changed it a little when I found one of our party wrist bands to scan/extract and use on the page:

so to recap:
1) create a Disney related page using a scan/pic of some ephemera you picked up on your trip. Quickpages don't count toward weekly challenges!
2) upload to the gallery, post in the appropriate forum thread, and then post here linking to both the gallery and the forum thread
4) leave love for a few of your fellow participants!

For participating in the challenge this week you will receive this DARLING alpha from our very own kelseyll!

What a fun challenge and super cute PP. I'm going to dig through my stash tomorrow while the workers are in my kitchen. Surely I can find something to scan :)

I have so much that I wonder how I'll narrow it down! I have 2 photoboxes of stuff. hmmm....

thanks for the great challenge and cute pp!!!!

I guess there was a reason why I didn't toss out all those receipts and junk from our trip in 2008 .... see, I did need them for something.

:lol2:

I'm in. I love this type of stuff. Let's see what I can find...
