I was full of good intentions to get back to crafty ways straight after Christmas but a nasty cold left me feeling a bit sorry for myself for a few days, but the thought of using favourite things was a great help to finish my project for this weeks challenge.
As you probably know, I love Vintage and lots of my favourite things were used making this little wallet, which holds the memories of this young ladies trip to Paris.
The inside was cut and scored to fit, clear embossed stamping and then distressed with the same inks
My images are mainly Oxford Impressions 'April in Paris' with a couple from Artistic Outpost and Crafty Individuals. My rose is paper clay, the key and heart made with UTEE in the Melt Pot.
If you pop over to the main blog, you will see what the DT have made with their favourite things and maybe you would like to enter this challenge and show us what's on your favourite list.
Thanks for your visit,
Avril xx

When there is a story connected with artwork it always brings another beautiful layer for the viewer.
On opening the pocket, which reminds me of a vintage ladies handkerchief, with that pretty die-cut edge resembling lace trim, I was immediately transported to Paris and the memories she would have.
Compelling and so beautiful.

Love your vintage project! I've never used the technique of clear embossing before adding inks and colors, I really like how that turned out. And all the things you've used for this project suit the vintage theme so well.
So nice your very special kind of card. Vintage Style from its best!
Dear Greetings
Sabine
