My local Internet Serve is not happy today and last night...just plain stopped before I had a chance to edit my post below.  But my card is now posted posted in the gallery.   

Nora and April so fun to see your cards...TFS!!

Amazing that several of the techniques I learned 50 years ago are still usable today. But I am glad that products have changed to keep a fresh and current feel to our work.   

Thanks Anne for a very fun memory tugging challenge!...Jan

...Waiting for Daniel to add his 2 cents worth.  Where is the cents sign on my key board..

 :laughhard: OK, Ann--you asked for it! ::)

My initial reaction to your challenge was  :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :knuppel2: But I got over it. After all, haven't I often said that a crafter can craft from anything? So... I've begun my entry. Since it will be late to the party, I will share what I'm doing. Ready for it? Drum roll please....

Crayon rubbing on plain wrapping paper. Talk about going back to the beginning! And the fun part is that I can use stamps & stencils 'cause I'm not stamping them--just giving them a good rub down. Fun & very creative challenge, Ann!

Thanks for the icons Daniel.  It also can't be 50 years that you have been  Art's and Crafting, but then I think of my age and when I really be can crafting on my own and and it is really close to that.  Stamping came later, but there were lots of crafts along the way.

Can't wait to see your project.

I have a bin full of stickers and rubons that I haven't used in some time, when I first started cardmaking I couldn't afford all the stamps so I did a lot of sticker shopping, I loved this challenge because it made me go through all my old stuff and drag it out and it makes me want to create even more with them.  If there was a year printed on the packaging I put it next to the item.

Here is the first one I did, I was itching to put distress inks on them to balance what was already on the paper but I held myself back :)

And here is my second card, these are some of the first papers I bought, I am surprised the rubons still work :)

I got my crafting start with a counted cross stitch kit my grandma put in my Christmas stocking when I was in the fifth grade (almost 29 years ago).  So I pulled out my Aida cloth and DMC floss to make this card.

Thanks for a fun challenge, Ann.

Thanks to April for the assist, my entry to your challenge is in the gallery, Ann. Rub-A-Dub Bear

A darker colored crayon might have allowed the bear to show more, but it worked ok for me. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, Ann.

I posted it to Daria's 2nd Chance Challange, as well.
