Cargo Pants

Marix says, KAYA!

When I read about the challenge the first emphemera that came to my mind are the clothes tags that I always keep, simply because they are sturdy and can be used like a chipboard with a little dressing up. But this time I used them as a part of my LO, I wanted to make an artsy collage, but this is how it turned out. I looks weird but my my friend says it's meant to look weird, almost everything here is ephemera (read:not acid free).

Journaling:

Eversince cargo style was introduced as a fashion trend I immediately shifted from jeans to cargo pants. They are baggy which gives me comfort and they have lotsa lotsa pockets which is tops for me coz I hate carrying bags when dressed casually or ruggedly. Esprit and Fox are top of the line for me because of their good quality and fashionable designs, they don't come cheap but when they are on sale, I don't lose a chance to grab a pair.

About ME:

Hi! I'm Marix, single and currently working as a Systems Analyst in Singapore. I've been scrapbooking since highschool but never knew such a term ever existed. Back then I've been using magazines to cut out titles and images and used the magnetic albums which sadly are all not acid free. I only discovered the term scrapbooking and acid free in 2004 and have been doing it since then. It was on and off until I became addicted to it last year. I scraplift, use sketches and find inspiration through advertisements. I'm a traditional scrapper and haven't tried digital yet. I consider myself as a free style scrapper who loves embellishments and texture in a layout. You can view my other layouts at http://scrappalific.blogspot.com/.
