Thank you very much.

Wow! You have a great vacation coming up. I’m jealous. I’d love to go to Disneyworld. I would even run (or try to) a marathon just to go back to Florida to see the Keys.

Your travel keychains are beautiful! I especially love the China one but then I love them all! lol We’re heading to Florida in January. My DH is running the Disneyworld marathon with my dad. That means the whole family gets to come and go to Disney. Like we were really going to let him go without us! lol

Very cool, Sue! I should make one up for my mom when she goes to Ireland next year!

Thanks Cindy!

Those are real stamps off envelopes. I have so much ephemera that I decided to go ahead and use the real stuff. The tea house lettering is from one of my originals. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is also a separate piece of paper. I used a vintage postcard, scanned it and altered it.

The stamps are cut at the corner folded over the side, and glued down. I’m not showing the sides in the photos.

I know a lot of people buy paper, but my backgrounds are all digital alters of vintage ephemera, mostly from my collection.

I didn’t use Diamond Glaze, but I found a very nice product that gives the surface a matte finish and seals everything in.

Awesome job, Sue! Are the stamps collaged or part of the background paper? I am curious as they look so flat, but then again I believe you use Diamond Glaze. Great keyrings.
