Hello everyone,
What a wonderful wet, cold,,wet ,not THAT cold and windy Easter weekend we are having..did I say wet... the heavens have opened, but, Oh well, never mind, I'll just have to stay indoors and craft..
So, while Holly is off my seat and looking for some dry dirt, I thought I would pop this post up, it is a huge one....
So that's that part...
I made a bill fold or wallet, with a lot of pockets and hidden bits and tags..
Time to decorate. I made heaps of my own ephemera and tags, I also hadf
Temu help meo ut with stickers and pads and just a whole heap of things..then the internet became my best friend when you type in "black and white vintage pictures for free "..
WOW, there are heaps online and old dockets like you have never [ I have never seen] before..
Internet freebies..
GASP...are they not awesome..saves a fortune.
The old puches came in handy..
Look at all this..it sure did take a long time to print and cut and ink and re size and all the stuff you have to do but the end result was just mind blowing...I was so excited to decorate..

Wicked, I open it up everyday, just because I can, and I love it..
But I wanted to keep going so I made a belly band, not correctly but close enough..

I glossy embossed the buckle and belt tip which made them really strong...
DONE!!..
I tried not to talk too much as the pictures were pretty self-explanatory
and rest assured I had a blast, so much fun, in fact I've done a couple more vintage style books and things that I will share soon.. I'm hooked..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you in a few days..
HAPPY EASTER..
Luv CHRISSYxx

I LOVE it Chrissy its FABULOUS, what a wonderful, jam packed bit of crafting. It also reminds me of an old big wallet my Mam had for bills at one time, long ago obviously.
Glad to know your still on Temu, me too, but the freebie stuff is amazing.
Happy Easter. xx
This is one STUPENDOUS vintage project Chrissy it is full of excellence from start to finish, I have read through this twice and viewed the pictures more than once it is full of so much detail it looks like something from many, many years ago and is a treasure that you found it reminds me of the diary that my dad brought back from WW11 he served in Burma and kept a note of things it was just one item that was well used and this project reminds me of that item, I love that you can open it up and go through all the little bits and pieces this really is something to treasure Chrissy to take pride in it is a pure work of art I take my hat off to you and your undying creativity I just wish I lived near you so you could teach me all these wonderful techniques
Have a wonderful Easter
Hugs

That is so very cool, I just love the design and all the pockets and goodies you have for the journal, love the buckle idea to keep it together and like the title you came up with too!
What a really clever project Chrissy! I love your idea of transforming this into a folio! Very cool design and details and especially love the pockets you've created as well! You inspire me my friend!
I'm so happy to see you venture into the realm of book/journal making. This folio/wallet is absolutely amazing and those tickets are so cool, can't wait to see more!
I am blown away by this Chrissy. What an amazing folio, you are SO clever!! xx
Wow what an amazing project Chrissy. Your photos make it look easy but I know you have put more than your heart and soul into this!! Even preparing all those embellishments takes time. Well done!!
