Scrapbooking: the model Monster Munch eater

Hi, hi, hi.

I've got a scrapbook page to share today which is also my 3DJean Design Team project this month.

And it's a page which - to my eye - owes a little something to the 1980s courtesy of a combination of:

• some very fabulous graphic papers called 'Feu d'Artifice' by Infocrea [available from 3DJean here - they're all double-sided so make sure to click on each image to see the reverse.]
• ... and ... 30 packets of Monster Munch crisps! [a favourite snack from my 80s childhood ... and from 5 minutes ago too!]

You might remember [have I mentioned it? Once or twice?] that for my birthday this year someone bought me a full box of the Roast Beef flavour and so I spent the first few months of 2013 dipping into my collection.

[Which, BTW really do taste like I remembered them, even though for a while they didn't. Now their packing refers to a *new* *old* recipe! Hurrah. It's like the 25+ years in between never happened!]

So imagine my surprise when, a few weeks after receiving my 30 packets I spotted this in the hot trends column in The Guardian newspaper's 'Weekend' magazine:

They're the 'model crisps du jour'! Who knew?

And I have* 30 of them.

[OK, I *had 30 of them.]

There's you thinking I was just a greedy, unrefined, overly-nostalgic snack-obsessive ... and it turns out I'm actually on trend. Du jour no less. In with the 'in' crowd.

That said ... I'm almost convinced that if models like Cara Delevingne really are eating Monster Munch ... they're probably not eating 30 packets in 3 months ...
