Hello everyone,
Brrr...still very chilly mornings over here, Holly does not like it, and she sits and waits for the sun to peep in the craftroom window and then she's a very happy cat...
I thought I had some travel tags to share, but I already have and what I had left were cards, so I'm here today to share travel cards..
These are all my bits that I pre make, fussy cut, die cut, colour, stickers or whatever..
then I make little ephemeras...
#1
and the ephemeras go onto my cards with a ball chain as a dangle..
pockets on the inside with little tags and postcards...
#2
I add hats and sunglasses..
which makes the dangle longer and more fun..
same goes inside..
#3
Depending where the traveler is travelling too
I make different ephemera and no ball chain, just glue it down..
inside the same..
#4
Even the lady's cards get layered up..
no spot for tags on this one..
#5
But they all get their ephemera just added on differently..
This lady has a glass dome with a zebra inside as she's going to Africa..
And has pockets for tags/postcards inside..
#6
This young fellow is just travelling around, no fixed destination..
no pockets..he is not going to write home..lol..
And here they all are and off to the shop and then to new owners..( some were orders )..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
It is a pretty Saturday so far, sun is shinning, but really chilly around my ankles,
better go find some socks then off to the kitchen, cooking for 10 tonight, dinner at my daughters, but doing perp here, you know your own kitchen better..
See you again soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Stunning crds with the travel theme. Great ephemera used! Enjoy the dinner!
Hope you enjoyed dinner with your family, that is a lot of cooking for 10. My cat goes right to the window when the sun starts to shine in and stays for most of the day :) These are so cool, I love the dangles you have made up, fantastic collaging of it all, the pockets inside are a great idea too, I will have to say I love those little sunglasses!
