I used TH papers and the new digi images from SMEARED INK,
I had the idea of using these old board books as boxes to hold a piece of hand made jewellery, above and below are the two i have completed showing you the size difference.
The small one is to hold earings... the large one will hold necklace/ bracelet or even a handmade book.... i really must get these things made, time is running away with me.
Thank you for stopping by.... happy hopping, see you again tomorrow for DAY #7 of the 12 days of Creepmas.
