New Prompt. 5-19-2008

Whew! May is flying by quickly, life is so crazy. Lovin' looking at all the awesome stuff from the bags prompt. Awesome stuff. If you ever make something with an older prompt, please share. I really LOVE looking at it, I love that it's inspiring people to be creative and share it. Woot, woot.

So, the next prompt is:

Records!!!

Old records are so cool and I love the nostalgic and vintage appeal they can add to your art projects. I picked up my 45's at a thrift store for 50 cents each. Lots of thrift stores have great assortments of some awesome records.

Feel free to use the cover or "mix it up" with the actual record. Rethink them. I'd love to see some awesome home decor type things. Give a tribute to some of your favorites oldies, or use it as a basis for a layout. Remember, you can make WHATEVER you want. ATC's, art journals, layouts, cards, home decor. Maybe try to make a funky purse, just create some ART.

And! I am so excited and thrilled to announce the lovely Guest Designer for our prompt. The very awesome and talented Tina Aszmus.

Since the beginning of the blog I've really wanted Tina to Guest Design. I am so honored that she agreed. Tina has a gorgeous, classy style. Thanks, Tina!

Her project is SO awesome. Here is what she has to say about it:

Here's what I made with your record challenge. I used 2 record covers that I've had for awhile for the front and back covers. The scrapbook is dedicated to my dad who was and still is an avid music collector. We often exchange mixed cd's of what music we're listening to at the moment. Music is something we always chat about.

AND, here it her project!

Gorgeous, right? Her work just makes me sigh. Awesome.

I took a similar route with my project. I used this awesome, old record. I kept the cover plain because I thought the "oldness" did it justice.

This mini is to keep a collection of my favorite song lyrics.

I'm hoping to get to a layout sometime soon, so check back for that!

Thanks again to all who encourage and play along, it means so much to me!

Have a fabulous rest of May and check back in June for the next fantabulous prompt and Guest Designer! Woot.
