First up for 2016 I have a little altered piece for you for the Scrapki-wyzwaniowo January challenge "Altered Art". I decided to alter the cover of my little sketch book using the 7 Dots Studio "Lost and Found" collection.
If you also love the odd altered piece then join the challenge over at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo. It'll be loads of fun!
On my altered book I also added some coins. In Australia back in the late 1980's the government abolished 1 and 2 cent coins and everything went to a denomination of 5's so we lost these adorable copper coloured coins that are such a large part of my childhood.
The Lost and Found collection has a cople of die cuts on the die cut sheet that say 23c so I used this as my theme for the cover and added 23c.
I think I just realised how old I'm getting! I'm blogging about "when I was young"!!
Time to go xxx
Gorgeous transformation.... good use of the coins & they work really nicely with those papers. Remember buying fish & chips - a serve for 5c? That was like a once a term treat for us at school.... and my first pay was $33. HAH! Bet no-one could live on that for a week these days. Aaaah. Getting old too;)
ReplyDeleteYour altered cover is beautiful! I love all the elements you have used and the paper collection! And, I especially loved the story of the coins! You made me laugh when you said you were blogging about "when you were young." When I realized I was getting old (some time back) - I was sitting in my car at a stop light, had the radio on and the livestock report came on the radio and I just sat there listening to it. Normally, I would have switched radio channels until I found more music - not listening to a livestock report. I thought, OMG, I have become my parents! LOL
