Me to U January

{And before you ask what happened to December, Well...it hasn't been sent to its new home yet as it took alot longer than planned.. you'll have to be patient and wait to see that piece}

But you still have this months piece to view.

I'm hoping it reached its destination before this goes out as I've not heard from the receiver in a while {sending hugs for you A}

.

I decided to alter a Matchbox after seeing a picture in a book i had recently bought.

So anyway here it is

...

...

I made this piece a while ago actually when i was messing about with my melt pot

I covered the outside with foil tape, inked it, then bashed it about with my texture hammer, inked it a bit more.

I added an ickle flip fold book to the top held on with ribbon. This also had a topper of the foil tape treated in the same way but with the added embossing of the word Friend.

I used the UTEE to fill the base and keep all the trinkets in place.

It has little wooden bead feet which i think finish it off nicely.

I hope the recipient liked it, i had fun making it so that's half the battle won.

Thanks for looking in

& stop by again soon.
