The "A.B." in ABCreations stands for Anmarie Bowden, that's me! My favorite ice cream is Mississippi Mud from Baskin Robbins, altho I'm partial to Oreos crumbled on top of Vanilla Bean ice cream too! I was born on Super Bowl Sunday. I have been digiscraping since 2000. I live in beautiful sunny California. I am married to my soul mate and we have two gorgeous children. My favorite saying is, “If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart!”
Newsprint has been around for a very long time and as the digital age continues to be ushered in, it is more and more important to remember our roots. Digital is here and then gone, print is forever (so to speak). Although we may not be reading the newspaper like we once did, there are still ways to keep it in our lives. Using newsprint in our paper crafting is a great way to do that! Afterall, scrapbooks used to be newspaper clippings and journaling about memorable events. Whether you are creating a modern, retro, or vintage-themed layout, newsprint makes every era distinctive!
My example for February is my daughter's girl scout cookie selling scrapbook page. She sold cookies on the 100th anniversary, so I used a newspaper clipping from 100 years ago as the back drop for this page! What a great way to be true to the craft while incorporating our modern lives!
