New Prompt- 4-21-2008

Can you believe that April is *almost* over. It's so crazy to me how fast time seems to past. Awesome stuff, last time around! Thanks for playing along. The new prompt is:

Shopping Tags!

It seems like shopping tags these days seem to be cuter than the clothes themselves. They are SUPER easy to use and add a little pop and interest to a layout or project. And yes, this is a definite excuse to go shopping ;)

I was so lucky to have the very amazing and talented Kimberly Brimhall. Kim has a scrap style that is so unique and gorgeous. I am so honored to have her Guest Design for The Art is Found. Here is what she has to say about her beautiful layout and project. Her work totally blows me away.

Hey everyone...for this prompt I used items from my shopping trip to Forever 21...I used the clothing tags as embellishments and as the theme for my page. It is amazing that a little tag can inspire an entire page. I also made a little flower using the Forever 21 receipt...I just cut it in half and made two halves and stapled them together. I had one tag left and decided to use the barcode to fill in empty space. This was a great prompt...it definitely allows you to see the art in everything...even the small things...even things that you would usually trash.

I just LOVE all the purple and blue. She totally flipping rocked this prompt. Thanks, missy!!!

AND, she make this amazing card-sized to keep in her purse. It is so gorgeous!!

I really love all th etrimming and use of barcodes. So cool. I will try to get a link to the rest of the pages later.

Here is my project. I made a little mini about my favorite current things. I used a variety of different shopping tags-- forever 21, urban outfitters, twelve by twelve, billabong.

A mini Mini like this is totally easy. You can use a book ring to hold everything together, I used some of the brown string that we had laying around.

Here is the cover and a few of my favs "pages", to see the rest, Go Here.

See? Totally easy to do! Maybe make a page about your favorite stores or a shopping addiction. Or you could use them simply as an embellishment.

Don't forget to link them up here so we can check out your awesomeness and add 'em to the flickr group, if you hang out there.

Oh, and if you all have some flipping awesome prompt ideas I would LOVE to hear them. I have notebook pages full, but am thinking I may need some inspiration. Feel free to comment here or you can pm me through SISTV, comment on my regular blog, or through flickr. Thank you all!
