BYGONE DAYS ~ LESSOLOGY

Good morning on a rainy Sunday . Today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Lessology , and the challenge is ...


Well hello there altered artists! This month's challenge is a super fun one...we want to see you get creative with zippers! Incorporate an actual zipper on your project, stamp a zipper image or create your own form of a zip for LESSology Challenge #50: Zip me up!

Remember, you can create any project you want as long as you include at least ONE upcycled item on your project. Please state what it is on your blog post as it may not be apparent to us.




The girl in the middle is my Mum, not sure who the other ladies are , will have to see if my cousin knows when I see her.


thank you Lizzy for the cotton reel, I have wrapped some of my Mum's thread around it. The Buttons & safety pin I have embossed are from Scrapmatts as is the smile word 



Dress form is also from Scrapmatts and the lovely washi tape with the Paris theme I purchased at Camp Mojo.



I also added a little bit of a old dress pattern.



the vintage word didn't stamp properly , so I went over it again and then used a water colour pencil ( another gift from Mojo ) to fill in the shadow and I like the effect :)
My up cycle goodies are ~ old thread, the zipper, Dress Pattern piece , piece of old lace and ribbon.

Thank you for calling by, I always appreciate your comments

Love , Peace and Happiness
