From a friend of mine, Jacqueline, I got the idea to alter a wooden box and put all my vintage goodies in there. So, I went to the Dollarama, bought a box, and started having fun.
The outside is painted kind of "old green" and I decorated it with an old line of scrapbooking paper I found. Used some stamps and flowers, and made my own thickers using foam and the sidekick!
The inside of the lid is decorated with paper too, and I glued some old fashioned looking ribbon along the sides and finished the corners off with buttons.
On the outside are some paper strips, stamped with a border stamp. (I used Tea Dye distress ink for all the stamping.)
And this is what's inside......all the vintage goodies I got from friends in the Netherlands! I'm so happy with it, and now I have to clean up my desk again to give it a nice spot!

Some posts ago, after Christmas I showed a collage of all the Christmas pictures I made last year! I had it printed, and used it for a layout, cause I had so much, that it's almost impossible to use them all, besides in a mini-album and I didn't want that:-)
The layout is a lift from one I saw on the internet, but I have no clue who made it.
I used some rub-ons I got a long time ago, they are in silver, so kind of hard to see. Grungeboard stars, painted silver, and a piece of lace.

And this is the layout.. kind of "busy" with all the pictures in one, but..... I still like it very much! The papers used are Basic Grey Wassail, and "made-myself-thickers" again.
The vintage looking picture I found on the internet and printed it, looks kind of nice I think!
Thanks for stopping by again!

Happy New Year!
I'm back but probably only one page a week for my DT. I stil have a great deal going on at work & the weekends are spent sleeping. I am almost out of ink for my printer & have no spare money for more so am limit to the amount I can product. My Xmas album will have to take a back seat the bills have to come first. I have to find the best part of £300 UK £'s in the next 4 weeks to cover my annual water bills & eat!!! I hate being skint, so this year its a Recylce & use up year. Clear some of the old papers & only play with the new when I have used old!

OP HET IJS, natuurlijk, ha, ha!
Heerlijk op het ijs: even een bakkie doen en dan weer verder!
