THE LONGEST TIME..DT

 Hello everyone,

What a lovely weekend I had and hope you all did too, now we are mid week and it is...

LITTLE RED WAGON  time, and our fabulous hostess is Kate and her theme is.." The Longest Time " - anything nostalgic, representing memories etc..

My best memory from when I was a child would have been when the circus came to town..never been before and never been to one since...

I wanted a big card but only when it opened

 so came up with this plan which made

 the card 23x23 inches square when opened..

68 cm approx.

all my circus papers are from Temu and

 are 6x6 square, so lots of cutting and

mixing patterns which I like..

So after the base was done I started adding papers for the matts..

any papers with borders were cut individually and glued along the bottoms..

and these adorable images from Digital Delights by Louby loo

flag banners..

and very bright happy colours..

and lots of die cut animals,stars and tags, trains and clouds.. 

Lets go..

Back and front were covered..so ten panels all up..

Roll up, roll up, and join in with us HERE

thank you so much for stopping by..see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

USE A STAMP..DT

 Hello everyone,

Another week has flown by and we are on a new challenge over at LITTLE RED WAGON with our lovely Brenda as hostess and her them is " USE A STAMP - postage or inking.

I decided on another booklet/folio and wanted to use up as many stamps ( postage ) 

that I had..

I started with folding this manilla kraft card into three..

and covered each side back and front with docket papers..

then postal papers, I love these papers, so busy and fun..

decide then to make a flap going up..

and loaded it up with all I had..

 A kindly lady gave this stamp album to my DIL to give to me 

as she knew I loved  playing with everything and anything..

some stamps were still on the envelopes,

and one or two were cute enough to make a pocket..

I also used many stamps with ink to add texture..

I printed out some postal papers and lined an envelope..

Booklet closed..

I really enjoyed making this one, the stamps don't look 

that visible but they really stand out in real life..

so do come and join us HERE

thank you so much for stopping by..
