I decided to fill my case with many of the little battered photos that were taken of me and my family years ago. it would be a good place to store memories and to pass on to my grandchildren.
I made a concertina book out of card and painted and stamped onto it with fresco neutrals and PA stamps.
I filled it with photos and details. Simply mounted on black card as the photos speak for themselves.
I decorated the cover and added one of Lin Brown's new sentiments.
I had already painted the inside of the case with Fresco Chocolate Pudding and I now added PA papers with additional PA stamping to the inside….you will see a piece of ribbon inside which pulls up to reveal a secret place for more photos and notes.
So my album nestles neatly in my suitcase and I am thrilled with my project….Thankyou Julie Ann.
Hazel this is really good well done. What a great idea for the secret panel. Really good choice of colours and stamps xxx

Gorgeous, can't believe you did all this in a week!
ReplyDeletewow! gorgeous, love the secret pocket. I would add a handwritten letter in there, to whoever opens the case in the future, telling them how and why you made it. you could also give details of the photos in the letter too.
