It's Anything Goes over at the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog hop and challenge this week, so in keeping with the time of year I have made a little folded pocket book to hold some vintage school type ephemera (instructions for making these can be found in Mr Tim Holtz's first ever book 'distressables', published way back in 2005).
Next I die cut a few mini tags, which are inked and stamped using only Vintage Photo and Faded Jeans Distress Inks and Tim Holtz Mini Muse Stamps, and tucked the two larger ones into a front and back pocket. The tiny tag (the all important bus ticket to get to school) and a type charm are attached to the pocket book with a mini fastener. The ruler and times table are Ideology stickers stuck to Grungeboard and then distressed and inked again with Vintage Photo DI. Tucked into the right hand pocket is a certificate of attendance from my Crowded Attic paperstash.
I have just realized that there are quite a lot of numbers on this, so I am also entering this months Artistic Stamper Challenge which is Numbers.

Hi Sue
That was quick off the mark. Another great vintage feel creation. Fantastic!
Susan, this is fab; love all the accents. Sometimes (but only on bad days!) I wish I was back at school rather than working...
Loving this its terrific Sue. I must look out that book as I was lucky enough to buy one in a charity shop in Oundle for a pound...... Enjoy the weekend, Annette x

This is so full of vintagey goodness. I love all of the little tags and trinkets that you have tucked in here and there. Your color combination of VP and FJ is one of my favorites. Beautifully done!

What a sensational vintage pocket book you have created! I really love all the tags and how they are tucked in so many different places. All the vintage ephemera are totally wonderful too - terrific job on the distressing. So happy you joined in the fun with the Simon Says teams on our Stamptember blog hop. Good luck with the prize drawings.
