Just Scraps Challenge #5 - Magazine CASE
Sunday evening and I’m done for the day - just this post to finish and then I’ll curl up on the couch with a book or magazine. I love to read though don’t do nearly as much as I did before I began scrapbooking and then cardmaking. I’m also a magazine junkie and papercraft/card/scrapbook magazines are now piling up along side all the other craft magazines I know I should get rid of. I keep my magazines - like forever. Isn’t that crazy? My sister will come visit me and leave with a stack of magazines. Six months later I’ll visit her and bring home another stack. This has been ongoing - back and forth - for years and years - the same magazines often traveling several times between our two homes.
So….. this week’s challenge? Pull out one of those magazines you’ve purchased - for inspiration, ideas and/or patterns - and actually use it. Wow - a novel idea for me! Think I’ll aim for a card a day cased from my mags. We’ll see….
You have until Sunday, May 2nd to leave a link to your project using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date and we’ll have another random draw for a little blog candy.
Have a great day and congrats to Vikki of http://vikkithescrapjunkie.blogspot.com who won our little bit of blog candy this week.

This is a great challenge Jean! I am always looking through my (and your…hahah) magazines for inspiration for my drawings. I do this once a week…I think it’s a Sunday ritual for me to drag them and my sketch pad out and start browsing. They’re all stored in magazine cases and organized by season! For the rest of the week, there are little piles of magazines in the living room, dining room, bedroom.
I find this ritual verrrry relaxing. I too keep my magazines for ever…the cross stitch, the quilting, the tole painting, the country decorating mags…all great for inspiration for papercrafts!!! Have a great day - you’re doing fantastic here on your blog! I love it. XOXO Jackie
