Thank you Kizmiaz,

    I like the effect, it looks really old.

Well.... started playing with this as I was making a pressie for a relative by using an ancestors pic . I made a dozen notelets, printed on some cream card and bought some envelopes to match.....Tied them up in a ribbon and used a small decorative box ( the sort you buy at card shops) to place them in and as a finishing touch, stuck a photo quality version of the pic on the lid and just glued some narrow baby ribbon around the edge ... You could use anything really ... to suit the recipient. Rafia,pressed flowersetc ... . leaves preserved in glycerine....
Just a thought to put all these restorations to an extra use !!   so as I have done it for this pic of the gals ... thought I would post it ::)  Whaddya think .... ???
