CRUSADE No. 47 ~ It's A Wrap

 

Here we go crusaders!  A new year, a new series of journal prompts.  We'll begin with an easy one.  Grab those scraps of wrapping papers leftover from the holidays and chronicle what you used, or what came your way....and be sure to include your lists.  (Were you naughty or nice??!!)

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or skip over holiday and go with birthday.  It can be evidence of incoming or outgoing.

 

 

 

 

 

I still have alot more to record from the holidays but hopefully these samples from Christmas 2010 and Birthday 2002 will give you some ideas to get started with your own evidence pages.  Wrap up your thoughts, claim some of the remnants and debris from holiday gifting, and make a page or two.

I know I haven't taken part for a few months Michelle, but I do cherish the group, the magic that happens here and that I can belong to a non-elitist band of artists from a distance!
I hope that you had a happy Christmas despite Shannon's absence and I wish you all very best for 2011. I'll be back!! *grins, as she loads her paint gun*!!

My first Crusade in an age! yay!

(I'm still going to get around to doing the "frame your own art behind glass" one too)

Put on your sunglasses before clicking the link, this is one brain-jarringly bright yet ugly journal page :)

Here is my take on the crusade: http://vividlayers.blogspot.com/2011/01/crusade-47.html I like the top one I did, but the bottom two are a bit too cutesy for me. :) Thanks for the fun ideas, Michelle!

[Helen]

Here is my spread. Happy with my wrapped up Christmas clutter! Thanks Michelle

[Lena]

Hey there! I made a spread in my altered book to join the crusade. Great fun! You can see it here on my blog.

Happy Ruby Tuseday!

Hi Michelle

I'm not that keen on my Christmas 2010 page..... maybe it will grow on me! I did another spread too, not on Christmas, but on leaving my job (happy smiling face!) leaving friends (sad face) - that is more 'me'

I really love your birthday evidence 2002 pages btw.

Karen

I made it! Having trouble getting back to my art table this month, but I squeezed out some time this past week. It was fun using some new(to me)products that I got for Christmas to create my page.
Thanks for the deadlines. I need them.

Hi Michelle, just snuckin in here again at the last minute but I so wanted to do this despite the fact that I had put all my Christmas stuff away!! So I got out a few tiny pieces and had great fun this afternoon. It's great to be 'playing along' with you all again. Boy, do I need those deadlines!! Here is my post:

All my Holiday Hoarding was Haunting me. I'm so grateful for this Crusade even if I am the last one wheezing past the finish line:

Thanks for your comment, Michelle! I was feeling like the page was a bit scrapbook-y, but then I thought, that's a GOOD thing! Why not? I started there, after all!

Now, I'm doing some studying up for this one, and I am SO BUMMED that I didn't take a photo of the last three packages I wrapped! I did the whole hand-made thing! I think I have some scraps, but even if I don't, I may decide to 'mock up' some of the paper new for this challenge because it was fun and worked out great!

This is a phun one. I even have leftover hand made tags. And a LIST!!

time for some herbal chamomile tea...
