a while ago I found an old but not very
filled stamp album from my love K
but
it still came in handy this week!
tomorrow my brother will be 50 years old
an old photo of him and some cutting and
pasting resulted in this 'stamp'
which enlarged became his birthday card
please have a look at our hostess blog:
objects of wimsey from Helen, for more stamps
postzegel
een tijdje geleden vond ik een oud maar niet erg
gevuld postzegelalbum van mijn lief K
maar
het kwam deze week toch nog prima van pas!
morgen wordt mijn broer 50 jaar
een oude foto van hem en wat knip- en
plakwerk resulteerde in deze 'postzegel'
die uitvergroot zijn verjaardagskaart is geworden
what a wonderful idea Patrice I like the date included too very clever.

Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful and tender birthday card Patrice! Your brother is lucky and you are sweet. This is great. I guess the stamp over top is a new image? I love this. Yesterday I scored a LARGE bag of used stamps and there are some from "Nederland" but none of those fabulous numbered ones. I love this card. *smiles* Norma, x
