I am happy to show you today my big work of the year. Let me first explain the story of this piece. have a seat, take a breath, a warm drink (almost Autumn here, isn't it ?) and let's start !
With 4 messing-up-friends of mine, I have been leading a French forum for about 2 years. In 2013, we have made a series of tutorials to show them how to make a lot of thingamabobs, thingamajigs and other thingummies but never telling them what they would do with...
They played the game with passion and made more and more creative thingummies.
And now the time has come that we show them what to do with : the intent was to help them make a cabinet of curiosities by themselves, with recycled items only.
Here is how I decorated mine :
first I sprayed diluted Distress ink on kraft paper, and when dried I stamped the image, hid it with a cut out of the same stamped image and stamped the others as a background.
the stamps I used are :
ground floor left : Men’s Plate 001 and Numerical plate
center : Collage lady Elements
right : Gibson Girls 002 , Time and Keys and Numerical plate
1st floor left : A Stitch in Time and Dressmaking No. 1
center :Large Bingo Card and The Open Road 1
right : Collage Man
attic : Family Values
and here is my happy-messy (literal translation) cabinet, filled with my thingamabobs, thingamajigs and other thingummies (love these words ;-) :
I have already showed you some of the thingamajigs here or there.
Sooo girls and maybe boys, I hope you like my project,
thanks for stopping by,
I am looking forward to reading your comments!
A la prochaine !

Wow, I love it, it's completely gorgeous.
Wow, I would call this a labour of love, it is truly stunning!
Oh, how nice is that! So many little things to look at! Most I love that tiny candle on the cork.
How fantastic to have a project like this bubbling away for all that time, and then revealed with all those amazing thingmabobs, thingamajigs and thingummies inside it! Your stamped backgrounds are beautiful too - altogether a wonderful creation - bravo!!
