I wanted to share a project I created. It was inspired by the recipe album Katie Watson taught at the Artistic Journey. You will also see bits and pieces of inspiration from Lisa Pace... pearls here and there... and Aubrey Rives... doodling on the details. I learned so much that weekend! All the paper is from the Little Yellow Bicycle Savor Collection and the chipboard accents are from Maya Road. If you have any questions... just let me know!</div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15063995462492302236noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869694392408904641.post-23933926120149473962010-06-21T14:03:00.003-05:002010-06-21T14:14:38.864-05:00Receipt Holder<div>I'm sure you have seen these at the store and thought they were really cool.

Especially the first time someone walks into the store. There are layouts everywhere, books, purses and many other altered items. I am trying to put many of them out here so that a person doesn't have to try to remember it all, and has a spot to come to remember what they saw.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLrzd5tyL6QHfnQxEjc2QbAXDfXvr6KoB7xcEuTbTph1xtabo7HtL0unmpwPF9pHouOdYXW7ESWE_cgYJ4dUpLOq1UA6Mxr4v3kRBmXHjbb3gzVhySrS7aGFQyUUBWLm-7F0byDr-nLQ/s1600-h/DSCN0118.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLrzd5tyL6QHfnQxEjc2QbAXDfXvr6KoB7xcEuTbTph1xtabo7HtL0unmpwPF9pHouOdYXW7ESWE_cgYJ4dUpLOq1UA6Mxr4v3kRBmXHjbb3gzVhySrS7aGFQyUUBWLm-7F0byDr-nLQ/s320/DSCN0118.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447980274982782034" /></a><br /><br />Another person who provides these great ideas for us all to view is Jennifer. Since she lives on the other side of the metroplex, we often transport items via mail. I'm not sure what thoughts might have come to mind as she opened the box and found a large stack of various mixture of papers. Thankfully, she is able to come up with some great items out of the mixed bag of goodies. I am sharing a few of the layouts here that she has done recently.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC73m5wl2eP7FNyHsJIRIBbzJRAbOuKbFpR1gP-UXKJ3LNquHKPnQFuRqtIcAxrFoHGzzUl-80LO0mF3O-KZiwrawOCO-4zYWNyaVzuxleD-MGT4qbMtDEKy8NoAjF6AetZpcFioRd5w/s1600-h/DSCN0123.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC73m5wl2eP7FNyHsJIRIBbzJRAbOuKbFpR1gP-UXKJ3LNquHKPnQFuRqtIcAxrFoHGzzUl-80LO0mF3O-KZiwrawOCO-4zYWNyaVzuxleD-MGT4qbMtDEKy8NoAjF6AetZpcFioRd5w/s320/DSCN0123.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447979918951922354" /></a><br /><br />The first layout is on a diecut paper - using the circle as the full background of the layout. I love the saying she put onto this layout. Cousins are really lifelong friends when we grow up together. I also like the texture she has put onto this page as well. Ruffled ribbon, stars and more.<br /><br />In the second layout, she added some great touches of texture as well. It is amazing how just a little item like this can add so much to a page. I have put a close up here of one of the sections with embroidery floss wrapped around it. See what I mean? I also like the handmade flowers. A great look and a great way to save a little cash in the process. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIwlP5dfobzwaYe-RbpqxC6uCP53hV6m6rzMK8fjqGGjNrvqIzgPZihIPmO1udbNgm6qGqrCNoiODxxz12cS6S0fiosHbhK3l1fWy0A8mxeRFh0zwpF7lqaS2lyfFd55OLICgo6LM-8aI/s1600-h/DSCN0124.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIwlP5dfobzwaYe-RbpqxC6uCP53hV6m6rzMK8fjqGGjNrvqIzgPZihIPmO1udbNgm6qGqrCNoiODxxz12cS6S0fiosHbhK3l1fWy0A8mxeRFh0zwpF7lqaS2lyfFd55OLICgo6LM-8aI/s320/DSCN0124.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447980269448200466" /></a><br /><br />She has a son and a daughter and was able to make the soft colors of lavender, blue and pink work for a photo of her son as well.

(Basic Grey Kioshi). Don't you like the way the photo is balanced with the large floral element? Something that is very hard to capture in the photograph of the layout is the use of little bling jewels throughout the floral portion. Click on any of the photos to enlarge them.

There are several folks who prepare examples for the store. It takes several people and a lot of work. I have been trying to show some of the great items out here and to showcase those people who take the time to create some items for our walls and shelves. <br /><br />These five layouts are the work of a lady named Penny. Her boys fill the majority of her pages. The pictures here are of the last group of layouts she completed for us. Above, you see that the guys are her world. Don't you like the way that she used the travel type of paper for that thought? And, the brown stripe is velvet ribbon. Perfect on this masculine layout.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI562-_LuV3x1u4xGuYS9YPpA9B36Snm2_HqWbhKBQ4DdjTQ-OcwPkfQENIssvYUgTr__ytkhT560kg_xN85G2eT5GM8f6XNnn8qm7SbMY_QZ6MGlFpaCa4vJP5MWkKz8vZmTiPtgu90k/s1600-h/DSCN0088.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI562-_LuV3x1u4xGuYS9YPpA9B36Snm2_HqWbhKBQ4DdjTQ-OcwPkfQENIssvYUgTr__ytkhT560kg_xN85G2eT5GM8f6XNnn8qm7SbMY_QZ6MGlFpaCa4vJP5MWkKz8vZmTiPtgu90k/s320/DSCN0088.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445720932361974306" /></a><br /><br />When the team members pick up a packet of product, they don't always know what they'll find. Usually, they have to just make a call based on a color or something showing at the top of the stack. I'm not sure if there would have been a better person to pick up this stack of product. The layout "Massey Men" is a perfect match for the Graphic 45 papers in the Perfect Gentlemen line and the Bo Bunny Mamarazzi papers she used. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHeYztu-LpPbTS6cgz2ytcTImSoV6v6k0JAxxZ8jFiflpBvTojpeRjQryd3jwk4BhF629JlRcljniiB6YP2mxtoCMNX7jSFzS2vNZNXeWoZdzt_ZzGYzDTPEBcmM-2wzsHEcmTuqENNFM/s1600-h/DSCN0087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHeYztu-LpPbTS6cgz2ytcTImSoV6v6k0JAxxZ8jFiflpBvTojpeRjQryd3jwk4BhF629JlRcljniiB6YP2mxtoCMNX7jSFzS2vNZNXeWoZdzt_ZzGYzDTPEBcmM-2wzsHEcmTuqENNFM/s320/DSCN0087.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445720327917033122" /></a><br /><br />Many may struggle with patterns and colors for BOY pages. In this layout, I think she really gives a great way to show off a fun photograph while providing her thoughts on the large journal section. This next layout provides the same sort of inspiration. The pride of the scrapbooker shows in the way the paper and photograph work together along with the journaled notes. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMdaLQSsKK0a2cYq0bFFTHvS0jLF7_KUxHxV0vhDmTzFF0gpLo7e5GOyap4rU9pSOQ_hudqJRT_QpXt45l1TUaQLQt70layyQgIEtKulYZoly2xMatlGMDkoZ4sNNxRBUwCAlMS4pRFcA/s1600-h/DSCN0085.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMdaLQSsKK0a2cYq0bFFTHvS0jLF7_KUxHxV0vhDmTzFF0gpLo7e5GOyap4rU9pSOQ_hudqJRT_QpXt45l1TUaQLQt70layyQgIEtKulYZoly2xMatlGMDkoZ4sNNxRBUwCAlMS4pRFcA/s320/DSCN0085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445720311291115650" /></a><br /><br />Penny does a great job on layouts and she especially pushes me to journal more.

This phrase seemed to fit the subject today. Mini Books. Have you noticed that people will pick these up and look at them more readily than they will pick up your larger photo album? I have also found it fun to have a small album of a specific event or trip even though I might have it recorded in a larger album too.<br /><br />Some folks just whip out a mini book in no time. Others struggle with making one. Thought I'd share a couple of ideas we used in a book and maybe they will be of use for your next book!<br /><br />This is the Maya Road album that is approximately 4 x 4 inches overall, the pages are about 3 x 3 in size. I think that a tendency in these smaller books is to only use small prints. There is certainly nothing wrong in that, but thought this might give you a variation. Here we have used the 4 x 6 and 3.5 x 5 inch size prints for the book.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcSzHYhvVhmXXyq-KNMtNeEiiSLvAyxOTKhce4QrfqD7QN1l5CFwaFDnD2PkF_v5xucfo_H_sPZjYm2X4VjVrGru9Udv03YfyPiD0lH5KNYWHiL-eRPAVkfwLyhHElQfDouk_9VxoVMX_/s1600-h/DSCN0024.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcSzHYhvVhmXXyq-KNMtNeEiiSLvAyxOTKhce4QrfqD7QN1l5CFwaFDnD2PkF_v5xucfo_H_sPZjYm2X4VjVrGru9Udv03YfyPiD0lH5KNYWHiL-eRPAVkfwLyhHElQfDouk_9VxoVMX_/s320/DSCN0024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442068893075669906" border="0" /></a>As you can see in the photo above. the entire page is covered with a print. This focuses on the subject, who happens to be large and center in the photo. Since not all of your photos have the subject so perfectly placed, there are a couple of other ideas within the book.<br /><br />The photo on the right sided page has been torn to give some interest to the page. The tearing worked well for the beach shot-fitting in with the waves and sandy look of the original photo. We could also add a stamp which could have been journaling just as easily.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVGtXm9hzIooQY-cyIL9xkUaSx8Mpo_FNcWWfljVG0sQLp1SyFcKuk1YjarY_cmcBgWcAyBN-cW2-8NxKO22SvIh0xWbddeEm513x3_Fy19ZLnzMZ0WbPl8iLdy2e9_XSESnISepfuqplU/s1600-h/DSCN0022.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVGtXm9hzIooQY-cyIL9xkUaSx8Mpo_FNcWWfljVG0sQLp1SyFcKuk1YjarY_cmcBgWcAyBN-cW2-8NxKO22SvIh0xWbddeEm513x3_Fy19ZLnzMZ0WbPl8iLdy2e9_XSESnISepfuqplU/s320/DSCN0022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442068880421768242" border="0" /></a>Again, in this view, one page is the full photo. The other page (left side) is just paper.

Cropping the photos with your scissors allows you to get the larger photos in the book while keeping the focus of the picture. These two pages just give other examples of using the paper with the photos for interest.<br /><br />Hope this sparked a new thought for you. Would love to see some of the books you do. If you are interested in more on this book, it is at the store on display.

Despite the cold days right now, I look forward to the flowers and birds of Spring.<br /><br />I really think that Dee Dee captured the feeling of Spring in this banner. She started with the Maya Road flower album, the Maya Road Canvas banner (brand new this month). She painted the flowers a soft green then sanded the edges. Applied a lot of beautiful layers of flowers, brads, stickers, made little pinwheels of paper, painted and glittered the chipboard alphabet. Strung on lovely ribbons with soft bows, it pulls together perfectly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHLGRUvyVx2Pna2NDpo_2E8iOldgBtXf7Kym6nX9u7vfOTx01Oz9lbbXeEkiGWwEnt5MaR6ZZZ9ZGMB6q1xx3fzPiSr1WLSoR7QktzE-OJILfvNv_Wc5TtBcOqRc-cYjPgXYV9L3KBocM/s1600-h/d2+banner.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHLGRUvyVx2Pna2NDpo_2E8iOldgBtXf7Kym6nX9u7vfOTx01Oz9lbbXeEkiGWwEnt5MaR6ZZZ9ZGMB6q1xx3fzPiSr1WLSoR7QktzE-OJILfvNv_Wc5TtBcOqRc-cYjPgXYV9L3KBocM/s320/d2+banner.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435549107876089954" /></a><br /><br />Clicking on the picture will enlarge it if you want to see it in more detail.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15063995462492302236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869694392408904641.post-56092448145469822792010-02-03T20:18:00.003-06:002010-02-03T20:23:51.060-06:00Continual Inspiration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2wzfsbsKjlEIxdRFsAlFpnFOq87sIMuWfwPsBRBZH2zcQ7Ik7Ib_3aEFi4wmK3tAZagI0-7I4cLgIW7yorY9v6c1YW8J8Vg93vp5jonKH_fgjdebp2m9Cx3YkuxyrfmQ7pxgvocOHb6e/s1600-h/CHA+Winter+2010+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2wzfsbsKjlEIxdRFsAlFpnFOq87sIMuWfwPsBRBZH2zcQ7Ik7Ib_3aEFi4wmK3tAZagI0-7I4cLgIW7yorY9v6c1YW8J8Vg93vp5jonKH_fgjdebp2m9Cx3YkuxyrfmQ7pxgvocOHb6e/s320/CHA+Winter+2010+040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434207326677045634" /></a><br /><br />A yearly event is the Ranger Challenge Wall at CHA.

We made both cards he showed on his blog.

Thanks to the design team members who have posted this year. There were so many wonderful things made, thought of and shared, that it is too bad we couldn't get them all posted. Our #1 New Year's Resolution at the store is to make more posts and to make them more regularly. <br /><br />Steps have been taken to make that a reality. Since you stopped by today, I hope you will remember the blog is beginning regular posting AND that you will stop back by to see what is happening here. <br /><br />Carolyn's blog will continue to include a little of everything - new product, some great projects, store announcements, her own personal stories and all the things you like over there. This blog will continue to have ideas, projects and other talk to stimulate that creative bug deep down inside of you.<br /><br />See you soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869694392408904641.post-2890326341795311782009-09-23T21:47:00.006-05:002009-09-24T21:44:23.850-05:00Maya Road T-shirt BookThis has to be one of my favorite chipboard books of all times.

If you have questions, leave a comment and we'll get back to you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy9avIUxDnUvNYp8WKlnXjZ3h0svM7B5LbXiQbDtsI1Keir3MVkt72jMyRY9M_AhIanACZk1UHlYyxSVPEzXcAeCP8vfUx97nGgECveLyOBHQUmnUI4mtUrE7LSeRJ6y_Fu6f-tcDMwAM/s1600-h/DSCN1417.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy9avIUxDnUvNYp8WKlnXjZ3h0svM7B5LbXiQbDtsI1Keir3MVkt72jMyRY9M_AhIanACZk1UHlYyxSVPEzXcAeCP8vfUx97nGgECveLyOBHQUmnUI4mtUrE7LSeRJ6y_Fu6f-tcDMwAM/s320/DSCN1417.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345521333578321378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzL8DLMU6KqZakfY26DzTBNHSlihjtjCW_bCdLZ_XgBKdajHA3XJE6BD8Od3vNtNVL9MautiQRXFv64LSQ-FfvdKGV7ITzN-0vx-ZdlN05LQpbiCZYFlmJZxqvDzLTJUWoY800w1yEnCk/s1600-h/DSCN1418.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzL8DLMU6KqZakfY26DzTBNHSlihjtjCW_bCdLZ_XgBKdajHA3XJE6BD8Od3vNtNVL9MautiQRXFv64LSQ-FfvdKGV7ITzN-0vx-ZdlN05LQpbiCZYFlmJZxqvDzLTJUWoY800w1yEnCk/s320/DSCN1418.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345521817669289266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyqAsZJ9NnpiANo-fktV7bAloBX4qX6JL32Sk-8zvBaSsxhuy7pC7uV_R955lXWF7ogQ0u1eG9mwtuAA0i3-lBbbK5p9sP8vyHy_fF2I3v-YElG9SXLQa9NKdigCEEkqZZAwCoCsoFK8/s1600-h/DSCN1419.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyqAsZJ9NnpiANo-fktV7bAloBX4qX6JL32Sk-8zvBaSsxhuy7pC7uV_R955lXWF7ogQ0u1eG9mwtuAA0i3-lBbbK5p9sP8vyHy_fF2I3v-YElG9SXLQa9NKdigCEEkqZZAwCoCsoFK8/s320/DSCN1419.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345521681436091714" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVZRRvI3z6h3iJGci0BqqsJtj3zSJOQSyLolH-SsKuh-BE8Zc4YPhHvWZtcM82Y2cvc1UgF_fSdzcyNobv-nr41or7Ao-PCFxZNAE0jqA3t8CjJ6Z6SToEc6PqpwAaCyOuoDmMXAdBfVQ/s1600-h/DSCN1420.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVZRRvI3z6h3iJGci0BqqsJtj3zSJOQSyLolH-SsKuh-BE8Zc4YPhHvWZtcM82Y2cvc1UgF_fSdzcyNobv-nr41or7Ao-PCFxZNAE0jqA3t8CjJ6Z6SToEc6PqpwAaCyOuoDmMXAdBfVQ/s320/DSCN1420.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345521596008677906" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZdn253yn50WZQEi3l6m6gj8hQWFW_lXdx3YxXHMqmk5PdwEQWzyMTULomG-vJx7fgv5X5IlkxC-kLYqCis2B1cfJ3NN-82gu8F1fvcoXe5_M1NNRkaAW8OCQM7IsRnBWZi6BFrwutkg/s1600-h/DSCN1421.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZdn253yn50WZQEi3l6m6gj8hQWFW_lXdx3YxXHMqmk5PdwEQWzyMTULomG-vJx7fgv5X5IlkxC-kLYqCis2B1cfJ3NN-82gu8F1fvcoXe5_M1NNRkaAW8OCQM7IsRnBWZi6BFrwutkg/s320/DSCN1421.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345521494787392290" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869694392408904641.post-77571421032437994572009-04-13T13:24:00.002-05:002009-06-09T21:42:29.864-05:00A Little Photo ChallengeI have a little challenge today.

This is my new shopping bag that I made so I don't have to collect all those annoying little plastic bags. This bag is very environmentally friendly. I reduced my stash, reused some scraps and items I had around the house and recycled this tired old bag.
