Remember Foam Stamps?

Do ya?
Well about 3 years ago they were all the rage and everybody had them.
Heck, everybody made them too.

Some of us still have some (or a ton) and never use them.
So that's the challenge over at SYC this week.
The title here was stamped with white paint first and then I journaled over it.
More details over at the ScrapYourCrap blog.

This picture so sums up the kid these days.
He is computer obsessed.
And it is always, "Ok, one minute!"
"Hang on, I'm saving."
"Just let me get to the next level."
Drives me batty.
I always say, at least he doesn't watch TV.
But wait, that little monitor is like a TV!
Ahh, but it is interactive.
And he mostly plays strategy and simulator type games.
He's currently hooked on Command and Conquer.
And occasionally he dabbles in the old school Nintendo.
But who can blame a kid for wanting a little Donkey Kong once in a while.
Especially after seeing this awesome documentary about it.
Just hope he doesn't want to be like the grown men in the movie, spending their whole life trying to beat the dang thing.
I hope it starts to warm up some more so I can encourage a little more movement out of that kid besides his fingers.

Great layout! As long as he's not in the chat rooms flirting with all the girls and bringing on a different kind of headache for you it's not that bad. The weather here hasn't been condusive to much outdoor activity.

Awesome layout page! Luv that DP girl! Yes I have some of those foam alphabets & bought them to do a layout that I haven't attempted yet! But I did use them on a small scrapbook.

I love the finger up for one minute! Too cute.

And, hey, I have a bazillion foam stamps.

I can honestly say I don't own a foam stamp and never did!

I love the photo. I can see that happening in our house in the near future. I think we'll need 4 computers so we each have our own.

This LO rocks, Simone! Wow -- I never got over the foam stamp thing -- I think it is a great value and you can do so much, as you show. Love the whole thing, paper included!

I love how you journaled over the stamped title, awesome. I had fun playing with my stamps for this challenge, I even cut one up! But I just hate cleaning those things.

cute layout Simone! I still have some of my foam stamps and I actually do use a set every now and then..mostly my Tim Holtz ones!

My Mandi is just as computer geeky as your Max, I keep telling her that she isn't going to sit locked in front of her computer all summer....so what do I do? sign her up for computer camp...oy! LOL
