"What was I thinking?!" challenge - (edit)due 6/30

Pam and Holly what great use of those "WWIT" items. Love the LO's you both did.

[Holly]

Just so it is crystal clear, and no one thinks I was serious...that LO is as much a joke as the paper.

But thanks Cheryl for being so kind.

LOL!
Oh gosh - I remember those papers. Those were the dark days of scrapbooking - supplies were hard to come by and there were precious few online sites (most of us didn't own a computer back then).
The photos are perfect for the paper!

I have A LOT of paper in my stash that qualifies for the What Was I Thinking theme. Today I found a piece called "Postcards from Paris". Its not something I would use in it's entirety, so I cut it up and made an ATC.

That's awesome, Sue. It's a perfect use for that paper.

[Holly]

Nice Sue, very nice!

[pamcook]

Wow Sue!
Great idea.

Here's my WWIT confession! I bought not one, but two packs of SEI Simple Set papers years and years ago. I've tried using them up for cards, stamping on them, inking them to grunge them up, seldom are they right for what I scrap. I still like them but there were just too many of them! I should have let DD paper her room with them back when she wanted to!

The mat paper is actually my most recent paper purchase-Basic Grey from Joanns. Lots of old and new flowers and the big grungeboard M from a RAK.

This photo of me is even older than the paper! 1974, Agia Galini on Crete, Greece. Spent a few months there while backpacking through Europe. I'm sad because I was leaving the next day and, of course, there was a guy involved.....

Great paper for that photo!
Life is so serious when we're young - although I would be sad to leave Greece, too. (boy or no boy)

Thanks, Pam!
Ahh, yes, but from Greece, I took a boat from Athens to Barcelona and within a week had met DH and the rest is history....

Marianne - what a great story!

[bethrich]

Marianne, I love how you worked that paper. I have some of that exact paper from a CKC class and never could figure out what to do with it. Thanks for the idea.

[Paula]

Marianne, you did wonders with that layout! Love the story, love the papers and embies, and the photo. What a hoot Long hair too! One of these days you will have to tell us all about the 70's (just kidding, I was already into birthin' babies ) Serioulsy, great job

[bethrich]

OMG, I'd rather forget the 70s!
