Need to pack a gift ?

It's my friend's B-day and I bought some Vintage shoes for him. Too late to post a picture because it's already packed and don't want to destroy the beautiful-self-made-packing !
The vintage shop doesn't has packing, so I needed to find something original to put the shoes in. I took a carton I don't use. But it looked drab! Just the brown drab color .. Baaah! You can imagine what I mean.

Started by using a piece of a shirt which I teared up and I used it for the bow around the carton. It still looked bored and it needed color. Colors are missing and that's important! 

Where to find colors? Idea :: press-cuttings !!!

He's into vintage (like I am) and I searched for cuttings he might like! 

And the present is packed !!! You like?

Decoration by inspiration!

DO IT YOURSELF

I was so bored yesterday. I decided to do something with my work that I am "finishing" a long time now! But came up to other ideas as well. 

My wall was so "grey" that I made a wall-collage with souvenirs. Places I've been too. Child pictures. Museum tickets. Notes. Sketches. Hairpins. Money from other countries.
So from now on, everything that I've been done, comes on my wall! I don't need to re-paint it, or decorate with flowers etc etc .. But by my own stuff!

The same thing I did with a case. First you could see what was in the inside. For me it is all messy and I don't like to if visitors can see whats in it! ... But I solved it!
I took some carton that I've received as wrapping, took the size and cut it to frame the case.
