on the Orient Express with Just For Fun Stamps--all aboard in London . . .

By

As you may know, I've been creating layouts in an Orient Express themed book, inspired by supplies from a past Mailbox Muse kit. Today we're boarding the train in London, and showing off a really nice, large background stamp from our partner this month at Altered Pages, Just For Fun Stamps: the Passport Stamp Background:


See what I mean?  Nice, right?  But of course it's a background, so as I continued, most of it did get covered . . .
Altered Pages has a great assortment of different city themed pages, including some beautiful ones featuring London.  I especially like the ones of old postcards.


This page features a bookmark I received in a swap several years ago;  I thought it was a perfect addition.  
Thank you for stopping by this December day!  (If you'd like to see more of this altered book, you'll find Collette in Paris HERE,  the cover and first layout HERE, and the Istanbul train station HERE.)

Happy Thursday, everyone!

    Thank you, everyone! It's not really a journal, more of an altered book with some elements of truth to it--haven't made it to Paris yet, but maybe someday!

    oh, I love this book! This looks like the technique would make a good "wish" book.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
