Mid May already!

Gosh this year has just flown, hasn't it? Already halfway through May and still looking for February!

I hope you are all well and crafting away 

I have been playing with stamps a lot lately - will show you later - but for the moment

I have to show the piece I made for 

Unstampabelles' current challenge

"To Have and To Hold"

The TWIST this month is 

To use some ART DECO Glamour!

I decorated a small pizza box - this is one from Stampin' Up but really you can decorate any box either found or made

I printed off an image that appeared on the front of a Vogue magazine in 1917

I only have an inkjet printer so it was pretty basic.

I layered it onto some JAP paper - single sided to give it some strength and a bit of shine

The DP comes from a Paperarmia set as do the sentiments

A bit of ribbon to help lift the lid

Some gold glitter stickers for a bit of edging and glamour

It is not big but can hold a gift card or small gift

Now I am going to brag a bit

Hettie Rose is returning from Italy atm - she is been travelling with the 

NZ Army Band - she is in the reserves now - as a singer for them at a special commemoration.

She has mostly been at Monte Cassino at a Commonwealth War Grave and Memorial

This is part of the War Cemetery - beautiful countryside around

Here she is singing

Apparently she did very well. 

Sang in three languages and impressed the various MPs and Ambassadors who were there. 

Made people cry.

We are very proud of her.
