remembering xerox

Do you remember life before pc's, scanners and laser copiers??? I was cleaning out some old paperwork and came across something that at the time I thought was so cool. I worked in a plaza and next to us worked some geeky guys, I think they did something for GM. Well they had a photo of me from a halloween party and they put me in the middle of a dollar bill.

I was a bee...the stripes and antena give it away LOL It was probably 1985 or so. I guess this must have been where my love of altering photos came from! Just think that is 23 YEARS old!



Ok...now on the scrappy front I'm ahead of the game for our atc swap at Croppers Cottage --- I already have May's done and it's only the 12th!


What's up with that? here it is------------------>

Our theme was favorite flower, but since I LOVE all

flowers I made it kind of generic. I stamped the flowers in white SU pigment ink, embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I lightly chalked over it. After rounding the corners I added the pink mat and the mesh.

I am going to try and get the birthday card swap finished too...then on to the challenges. I have some ideas for the birthday cards so they should go fast. I want to use the new Nestibilities I bought. LOVE those things!

hope all is well with my bloggees.

ciao!

Just buzzzzzing by to say hello! (hee hee -- couldn't resist making a "bee" comment). What a cute dollar bill! :)

LOVE your darling ATC -- you and Nancy both did a great job! Love how you used the white ink and the mesh for a little fence. It's perfect!
