Its a digital page from me today for
and the lovely theme Gill has chose for us this month.....
Elegance and Grunge..
I started off using a page from an old French book that I found in a Charity shop,
Not on the shelves, but in a box on the floor beside the counter....
It had no cover and pages missing. Unsalable the staff said, its destined to be thrown away,
but to me it was the find of the day. I happily put a donation in their box.
I added more layers and the image in my digital program [notes in my sidebar].
Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are most welcome here.
A great find indeed Yvonne and I love your mix of elegance and grunge. Great job xxx
ReplyDeleteYour page is gorgeous, and the book was a lucky find. I got some lovely and tatty books in old German script for 10 cents apiece, that made me happy, too. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. I would have given to the donation box for that French book, too. It is going to be a great addition to both your digital AND your traditional pages. This is a beautiful entry, and fit's Gill's theme perfectly. So glad you shared the back story, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic find Yvonne and you used it so well. Look forward to seeing more work using this terrific book
