Hello! Today we have the
Monday Mani challenge at Club Anya and Friends and Rinne has challenged us all to use ephemera on our cards. You may ask "What is ephemera?" (I am really hoping I am not the only one who had to ask that!!) Amy tells me, "
Ephemera is all those little bits and pieces of paper and what not that usually get thrown away as you go about your day, like: newspaper clippings, business cards, shopping bags, fabric and clothing tags, ticket stubs, candy wrappers, junk mail, even broken jewelry". So I added two tags to my card today - one came from a reusable grocery bag and the other from a basket I had just bought. My daughter was going to do this challenge with me and she was loving adding all of her findings to her card - she had some bubble wrap, candy wrapper bits and parts of a fruit chip package. Alas, she ran out of steam before she finished her card!
