art journal challenge - week 5

i just did my card while sitting on the bed in my hotel room! i cannot believe how tired i am...tonight i must have walked up and down at least 5,000 stairs! i guess this is the way the french keep fit with all the delicious pastries and cheeses on offer ;)
the metro is simply the best mode of transportation, and the little tickets are so cute!

so...

this weeks prompt is: use some ephemera from your week

*i have really limited email right now, so if you are waiting from one from me, i'm sorry! i will try to catch up as soon as i get home :)

[Rachael]

An important item from your previous week! (Lol-I asked my mom, then my dad, then finally the dictionary!)

[José (A Dutch Girlsname!)]

This Dutch dumb has googled it!

Ephemera refers to written and printed matter published with a short intended lifetime. In the world of collectors common types of ephemera include letters, advertising trade cards, cigarette cards, airsickness bags, posters, postcards, bookmarks, baseball cards, tickets, greeting cards. Ephemera refers to written and printed matter published with a short intended lifetime.

the term ephemera is also used to describe the class of published single-sheet or single page documents which are meant to be thrown away after one use

This is sooo cool!!! Love that you have fun in Paris - such a wonderful city! And I totally love your card - as if you looked into my room - LOL!

[tricia]

oh how COOL! i love it. i am new to your blog but i'll do this assignment first and then go back and do the others. yay, i feel like i'm in creativity school.

[tricia]

it's me again--i just went back and read the first assignment and i just want to say THANK YOU! what a wonderful idea. and you know what's wierd--i just bought a pack of mexican cards from the market--just figured i'd use them for a project or something. it's serendipitous!

[Judith]

I finished this card, I found my ephemera straight away :) You can see the card at my blog: http://judithlahaye.blogspot.com
Enjoy this week!

[Georgia]

Take it easy girl! You are preggas don't forget. Your first job is to look after yourself. I love the card thing. I started, did 2 then ran out of steam (lame I know!) but I've decided to stick to your weekly themes to inspire me when I don't feel that way myself. I have caught up now, and I'm inspired to keep going. Have a great time in Paris, but DON'T OVER DO IT!

[Kate]

Thank you for the inspiration - I am running a little behind but am really enjoying it so far - and already my little bundle of cards is looking so GOOD! Can't wait to see it all come together through the year.
Enjoy Paris!

[Patty S]
