I LOVE old, yellowed paper and especially newspaper. I grab it when I find it and right now I have a surplus. More than I can use alone! So I am offering some for sale in my etsy (see my side bar). It's a great material for fall projects. A natural pairing with a bold rubber stamp. The crow stamp is my newest aquisition (on ebay!)- you will be seeing a lot of it!
A simple scrap of newspaper makes a great cumberbun wrap for a gift. Here I just wrapped a book for demonstration purposes, but it would make a great seasonal display. Pair it with colored tissue paper, plain brown paper or let it stand alone on its own lovely, yellowed merits.There's that stamp again!
And let's not forget the possibilities for altering the photos and artwork! Any fashion model from these pages is instantly bewitching with the simple addition of a black pointed hat.
Watch for crows in future posts.

You have just given me a wonderful idea! I unearthed some wonderful old newspaper in my basement water moments (some very old, like end of WWII). Some I don't want to hack up -- but on the other hand, there are parts...
