drawing challenge: postage stamp

 



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

  1. what a wonderful idea Patrice I like the date included too very clever.
    Those number nederland stamps were some of my favorites as a kid I had a couple of those.

    Have a great weekend!

  2. 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

    I never collected stamps, just kept a few I liked, but the more I get to see here the more I'm longing to start my own collection...haha!
    Best wishes and a happy birthday to your brother!
