Missed a couple days bc I was off grid treasure hunting at Lake Erie for my birthday! Here’s a pattern I’ve just uncovered this morning from my most recent stamps on paper haul. Postmark looks like 1999 but unsure exact location of origin.
AUGUST 2026 SUBMISSION THREAD
The current cover photo (and the only one we’ve had) is of some mini envelopes I made back in 2024. I would love to change it monthly and feature art from members of the sub.
If you’d like to submit, please attach a photo comment and I’ll choose one piece to change it to on August 1st. Please only one submission per person of your own original artwork or photo.
The cover photo will be changed on the 1st of every month to give everyone a chance.
Thanks! 💌
...seen at Pyramid Atlantic's juried collage show, SUPERIMPOSED in Hyattsville MD. ( more by the artist, Nathan Pietrykowski, at https://npietrykowski.com/ )
Thanks to u/TheEScrapMan for the trade!!!!!!
This is perfect for me because I do junk journaling and I hate throwing out pieces that are too small to make a 2.5 inch square but just enough to get some small squares! I appreciate you u/Jolly_Long3275 ✉️🫶🏽🤩
Okay, I'm trying to find a 2" square punch to make trading easier (my hands shake and cutting is hard) BUT it seems like most of the punches I see listed at 2 inch are measured on the diagonal, so each side is an inch and some change.
Anyone have recommendations for a punch that's sized correctly for like coin holder binders and trading?
Here’s an amazing pattern piece that was traded to me by the lovely CK from tiktok 🥰 zoom in to see so much detail! Unsure when it’s from, but included the back so y’all can see the return business. Have a great day!
Found some cute ones!
Got card application envelopes: from FamilyMart, JR's View Card, and MUFG Nicos' Amex Platinum card. Even if I couldn't apply (I wish I could), at least the envelopes look nice. I just wish the white pattern was a bit darker than it is, but I'm still a big fan! The purple one especially - I only have one other pattern with that colour! They all had me looking for any thick brochures I could find in-store, especially ones wrapped in plastic sleeves.
u/TheEScrapMan knows I LOVE greens and the purple pattern was the cherry on top! I cherish these patterns dearly! And the washi tape from Japan is extremely special, I appreciate you friend!!! ✉️☺️
The front of some of the ATM envelopes seemed to have a pretty nice pattern on the outside (Resona Bank, SMBC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust bank). Also, when my neighbourhood had a trash day and everyone brings out their paper to be recycled, I got the green "scale" pattern on the bottom. Also, I thought these two little guys were pretty cute so I picked them up as well 😆
Thank you so much u/No_Acanthaceae4260 for this generous trade! It’s been such a pleasuring getting to know you since I started collecting! I need an entirely NEW binder just for these alone!
I love this one :) organized chaos
Lovely bright but kinda faded blue with white roses. Stamp on back is USA 15¢ and according to the googles from early 1990s.
I never paid attention but now I can’t not :)
