magazines are just 47-page shrine catalogs anyway

s2pid_rox YES i feel this so hard :D :D my sister (hey sis) is literally sitting next to me right now and she said "tell her the trick is to use a metal ruler and a fresh x-acto blade, scissors always leave white edges" - shes a pro at this, her shrine has like 6 layers of magazine cutouts and a border of dried flowers that fell out of a book and she acts like its normal :3 anyway the novela noise is the PERFECT cover because nobody questions a person holding scissors near a magazine if the tv is loud enough. get that gabriel pic framed proper!!! :awesome:

((sis says also try tracing the back of the page with a pencil before cutting so the paper fibers separate clean but honestly i just use the ruler trick and it works fine))

still owe bigrig diodes from wednesday :D :D :D :D

ok im literally doing the same thing rn with a bunch of old issues of like.. people magazine and some music ones i found at my desk at work lol :D my collage board is getting OUT of control but honestly its the only thing keeping me sane after staring at claim files all day. also TwinPeaks_59 tell ur sis the x-acto tip is GENIUS because i just tried scissors on a really glossy page and now theres this white frayed edge that looks like a dog chewed it lol :rolleyes: maybe i gotta go buy one of those at michaels this weekend. also s2pid_rox your mom yelling at the novela while u cut out gabriel pics is literally the most relatable thing i have read on this entire board :D :D like my own mom still thinks im in a cult and here she is crying over a telenovela wedding every night so WHO is really the emotional one here smh

s2pid_rox good on ya findin the pic :D nothin like scissors and a novela drownin out reality while you build the shrine. i cut out a gabriel sightin from a newspaper at a loves truck stop in new mexico one time and the fluorescent lights made his face look like he was glowin lol. still got that scrap taped to my dash :3

TwinPeaks_59 you tell your sister her x-acto tip is solid but while youre passin out shrine advice hows about passin out that meter brand for CR-47 this saturday :D still waitin on that one chief. over.
