Let's get shabby and Use your stuff

Asking a librarian what her favourite children's book is has no particular answer.There are many.

One that I adored as a child (and still do!) is Milly Molly Mandy.
I loved the map of the village.
and here is the cover of the edition I have.


Using chipboard, hessian, lots of punched flowers, fussy cut pictures and a photo of my daughter and a friend, I created this.
My understated title is home, sweet home.
 I could have used big red alphas, but didn't want it to override the photo.
 I like this better.
Here are the links to Let's get shabby http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com.au/

I trust it is acceptable to both to enter it in 2 contests.
