Cut/Paste

I've been searching el Internet for some low-key, instant(er) gratification projects. I don't do that much with altered art and paper crafts, but I do collect a lot of random ephemera. It would be great to put some of these on display, and I see some fun potential in these projects. And, it's nice to see that there are options out there outside of full on scrapbooking.*

*Not there is anything wrong with scrapbooking--I have seen some beautiful work done in that medium. But the term tends to make me think of overpriced stickers and doodads, and, of course, Arrested Development.

Classic scrapbooker.
