HAPPY BIRTHDAY..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON time and I'm hostess this week, ( seems appropriate )..with the theme.... 

 "ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY " an easy peasy birthday project for anyone..


I made a booklet card, masculine, nautical, my favourite of them all..
my ephemera are wooden and I made sure I bought a load of them when I found them.


The paper I used are just perfect from Francheville
called Modern Coastal and this wooden lighthouse fitted in the scene so well..



I added stones /rocks with Nuvo stone drops..perfect.


the booklet all folded up with string netting


The back of the booklet opened up..and I also used a lot of scrap strips for this
leftovers from an album I made.


Inside the booklet with pockets and tags..


My box of wooden ephemera..


I added moss to the anchor..


Fabulous seagull, gives Stanley a run for his money,
but I still love Stanley.


Anchor in place with some onion bag..


There's the stones/rocks..


Booklet all tied up..


Untied..and a vertical Happy Birthday die cut.


and this last photo was to show it was made with a large white folded envelope..
on the far right you can see the flap..

So there you go..

 so come and join in HERE


Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Stunning details you've done here with your gorgeous nautical folio card Chrissy! I need to remember to use that idea for the rocks with the Nuvo drops! I have so much of that stuff and hardly get it out any more...hopefully not all dried out! LOL Your outside with the netting is very clever and fun! Love this!

I just finished die cutting Spellbinders Sunday Drive and wanted to kill someone, anyone for hours afterward, lol. Too many tiny parts! So, I am in awe of what you do with so many little elements. Great booklet card, xoxo
