SHARING A FEW THINGS...

 Hello everyone,

Have a few things to share today..been doing lot of boxes and also found something rather exciting and plan to use them..

A very old, real chemist docket for developing films dated 22/2/1954..

This is an old letter. dated 29/10 1952 from my late husband's Aunty Hilde and uncle Dicki 

to him and his brother..

My husband's family lived in Burma..Mother born and raised, father in Royal Airforce.

Next up is these telegrams sent to my mother and father the day I was born..

so they can go in the vintage folder!!!!

These are photographs I found inside an old black photo book..

My family..and a couple of my FIL in an envelope.

An old stamp and a newspaper clipping..

These are the photo papers which I'm now using inside a junk journal

So black and so thick, feels like the old blotting paper..

Then I started making things, these old pages I added washi stickers onto them

for journal books..

then started making ephemeras vintage style with discs I had made..

layered them up,then popped a staple through to hold together..

and a few ID tags for fun..

next up a bourbon box that needed attention...

my son drinks these in the evening and never break the boxes down,

so of course I had a thought.

you need to line these boxes as they are thin cardboard, so did that then wrapped it 

with maskng tape..

covered with telephone book pages...

cut a fancy trim for inside with ye old fancy edge Fiskars punch.

then added paper to the box???

fancy edge inside...

fussy cut the rose and bid from same DP 

glued them on..

before and after..

some fancy metal corners..

my collection of vintage lace..

so pretty..

popped on a label and there you go..

Again, I'm sorry for another War and Peace post but it was all so interesting to me..

I'm loving my decorated shelves with all these boxes which I will share soon,

 it all looks so pretty.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

SKETCH..DT

 Hello everyone,

A new challenge today over at As You Like It  and Brenda is our hostess and the theme is " SKETCH" 

shows us and tell us why, it is your favourite sketch..

Mmmm..well, to be honest, I think I have only ever followed a sketch once before for another DT..I'm inclined to wander off from what I'm supposed to be doing but  this, time, I did good..

I found this online, and thought it looked good for a tag..

or vintage style.I just liked it and now it is going to be my favourite..

so printed this out, no good if I don't, and then cut all my elements..

and layered them up onto the tag, so that part was good to go..

To make those circles interesting I die cut numbers in circles

and I ended up with the positive and negative.

Then the flag tags or whatever you call them I cut in design papers.

covered the tag as well and then all those bits were ready..

Follow the sketch, follow the sketch..

Gluing the small numbers underneath the circle..

follow the sketch..

Which then went on top of those flag tags.

Follow the sketch..

DONE!! I did it.....then..

I loaded it up with all sorts of other stuff, couldn't help it, I just had to..

but the original sketch is still there, just covered a little bit..

So there you go..

We are sponsored by..

with a $25 voucher...thank you.

So come on over HERE with your favourite sketch and join in..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

LETS GET ROCKED... DT

 Hello everyone,

DT time for LITTLE RED WAGON  and our fabulousKate is hostess with the theme ...

" LET'S GET ROCKED " - Inspired by a rock song and please let us know the song in your post.

Not hard in fact super fun....

Can you guess what mine is?...

I have a dog whose patches turn into holes, that's not what I wanted..

So cut him again in black, that didn't work either, 

the lights were on but no one was home!!!!

Then I got it, I just cut little bits of black and glued over the patches..

now he looks complete..after inking,

 and used a pen around his nose, eyelid and added some lashes..

dir cut my drum set and some musical instruments...

Have you guessed yet?

Made a vintage tag and already to glue it all together..

gave the band a name...

made the lashes a bit darker and longer..

and done..

You ain't nothing but a hound dog, 

Elvis Presley...

Fun right?..

so come on over, link up a rock song project, anything you like..

HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you later on with another DT..

Pearly Sparkles   ( Cats and Dogs)

THESE WERE INTERESTING...AND FUN.

 Hello everyone,

My daughter in law works at my Son's garage, he is the mechanic, and they get all sorts of boxes, and packets, and stuff which they pass to me and say, do something..even car filters, I've and a wee play will share later..

Today, I'm sharing these cute folder things and show what I did with them..

These are the little folders, they held something mechanical, I don't know..

and these arrived from Temu,

 I don't like the white edges, but there are loads of them, and they are stickers..

So, I inked them a bit and the inked bit sort of went into the background..

I covered these little folders in old book pages, 

and inked up with the right brown!!!!!

added some kraft pockets, some small plant washi tape stickers here and there..

and then just went silly, with washi stickers, all sorts, no theme,

 just added them in clusters..

layer over each other..

and just keep going..

See how the man blends a bit better..

I made tags and used my ball chin to link up, that was fun.

The number is the negative of what I call my army numbers??

Clipped everything together and clipped onto the card.

and there we go..Front..

Inside..

Backside..

And standing up, I love them, easy and fun..

sort of like tags

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow with a DT project..
