Actually, this weekend Mr. Smarty is wearing his professional athlete hat -specifically, a bike helmet--and doing a century-ride in some Texas town I've never been--so I've got some time. Thought I'd post what Belle and I did yesterday afternoon while I'm posting the winners.
We sketched a parakeet and an owl (or I did and Belle traced mine), but you could easily use a coloring book image.
Scrap paper--really anything goes here-wrapping paper, candy wrappers, cellophane, foil, cardstock, junk-mail..ripped in the shapes needed to give definition to your picture.
And now I interrupt this post to bring you the winners:
Thanks to all who entered my Uprinting.com postcard giveaway! I wish they let me pick everyone, but since I couldn't, I let Random.org do the hard part. Congrats, Lauraslefthook and 3Blessings! I'll contact you soon with the details!
Aren't custom cards super sweet? I would just hate to make 200 of these babies-think I would scan it and let Uprinting.com handle the masses.
What else can we do with junk mail?
Oooh. I love that owl. What a great idea. Thanks for chatting the other day on the phone.
ReplyDeleteRachel-that's so funny-I made it for you! Now if only I can find a stamp....

ReplyDeleteso... i still have that stack of diapers i pulled out for you... ?? yes, i'm slow. do you still want them?
melissa
i'm back. :)
ReplyDeletei didn't mean for anyone not to want to see that movie... but i guess if i had known (read: actually read the back of the box) before buying it... we might not have seen it either. i thought, it's Tigger... he's harmless. lol
but yeah, kind of crummy feelings surfaced.
and i didn't want you to think i forgot about the diapers!! :)
hugs,
melissa
