Newspaper

There are a few things that I need in the morning before I start the day - a cup of coffee, something with calories, and a newspaper. And it has to be real paper and not digital - and then when I enter the bus that takes me to work, I need a book made of paper and not an e-book. Maybe it´s because I´m not a digital native, but I believe that there are a lot of other reasons ... what about you?
For this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge, I´ve picked Newspaper as my theme, and my card combines actual torn newspaper, a newspaper rubber stamp in red on the background, and of course the newspaper boy, one of my favourite rubber stamps.
I hope you´ll feel inspired by this theme to recycle your daily newspaper and make a 4 x 6 postcard with it - but of course you can also use digital newspaper elements ;-)
(For my card, I´ve used stamps from Tin Can Mail, Impression Obsession, Hampton Arts, Catslife, Stampington and LaBlanche.)

What a great mixed media card! Arias I'm stuck with digital. But I still want a "real" book to read!

Total klasse geworden (wie immer *zwinker*)!
Ich hatte zu wenig Zeit zum Spielen (und zuwenig pssende Stempel...)

Marion, I love your sample and thanks for hosting us again! I also love a good real newspaper, even though I don’t read one daily. When I do I try to recycle it as much as possible (clipping out images and text) and then it hits the recycling bin. I also love real books! But I do read electronic books sometimes. In fact I often have one paper booke, one e-book and one audio book on the go at the same time! Xx

I so agree with everything...the coffee, the calories, the texture and feel of something real to see and read! LOVE your postcard...all your postcards are fabulous! Sorry I haven't been around much. Hope you are well.
