Vintage Travel with Frilly and Funkie

Well I had to create some more things... and also wanted to show you the little book I had created for the little blue suitcase...  so I have to show you these two things... 

This week on Frilly and Funkie Challenge... it is VINTAGE TRAVEL... so I again had a lot of fun doing more things... 

 
This is a tiny little book... only 2 X 2.5 inches... and I used a sizzix die cut for the little folders... tiny little book... and I had so very much fun making it... 
 
the cover is paper I made using my distress inks and water... love doing that... then I used some texture paste to make the seahorse...
Oh the stencil for that... EVERY die cut you own is a stencil maker... so I used a Cuttlebug die of this seahorse... how cute is that... 
added some pearls for bubbles and LOVE IT.. 

I really dont' like to throw too much away... and these were 1/2 inch and smaller  pieces of paper and I wove them to create the inside of this little book... and another texture paste seahorse on the inside...  with more pearls... 
 
All the paper on the inside were from a Graphic 45 pad on Sea... can't remember the name ... but I am sure if you are into Graphic 45 you know the name...  (sometimes I can't remember the names of things to save my life... and I am quite far from my studio right now... so sorry) 
 

 
I made little pickets to put some pictures of your vacation into... and also some cute little tags to adorn them too.. 

 
I used Faded jean Distress ink on all the folders.. and some of the papers as you can see here I also made with distress inks and water. 

Adding things like sand dollars, special netting tapes.. 
 

 
some star fish... and more fancy papers... and those little children are so very precious... had to add them... 

 
In between all these pages are graphic 45 paper that you can add two or more pictures to... so this little book will hold a lot and still fit into that little suitcase... the smallest one of all of them... 

 
A little pocket and also lots of space for writing and journaling...  all about the trip and traveling... 
 
Now I also did a few ATC's for you to see... 
This first one is a picture of my Mom... when she was 3... she just passed away this February... and she was 94... so she lived a very long happy life...  so this picture is a little vintage... at least I would call it vintage... check out that car...


 
Another vintage family picture... of my grandmother a year after she graduated from college... she and a few of her friends went to Europe for a summer vacation... wow... nice huh???
 
She is the one in the back... she might look tall... but I bet she was standing on a trunk... LOL...  the little tag says... 

I never seen such wild wimin... in my life... 
 
I don't know where I got that... but I had to use it... that was a wild trip back then for three women to take ALONE!!!! 
 
It was in the late 1800's... VINTAGE...
 

 
Just some old clip art but fun... 

 
Another old clip art on a piece of an old map... 
 
So I did have more fun with this theme... hope you will join in on this challenge and make something really wild too...
 
There are some really nice entries... please check them out...
 
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and see you soon... I have been working on some special pieces that are not finished yet... hoping to have them done soon.. .
 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
