I think I may have a new addiction!

I created this collage this evening for a challenge. The theme was inspired by the October challenge over on the Vintage Veranda, where the theme is

'The Groaning Table'

The collage fills the criteria for the 55th challenge over on the Arty Girlz blog, where they are asking for us to use 'Clipart'
You can probably see that there are holes punched into the side of this page, thats because it's the first page in an Envelope Album that I am making to store my ephemera clippings in. The envelopes were made a long time ago, but I had not done anything with it until now. I wasn't happy with the patterned paper that I had covered them with as it no longer fitted with my theme. So, I took a piece of wide lace and dabbed an ink pad all over it until I was happy with the effect. I've never tried this technique before, but will certainly be doing it again!

I didn't win this time, but

Here is the Altered Envelope that I entered.

I had great fun creating this collage, which is quite obviously LONDON
I'm not disappointed that I didn't win, because I was up against some very tough competition.
Thank you everyone that took the trouble to vote on this fantastic challenge, that was set by Chris, on the Paper Dolls blog
I am a sucker for a challenge, and try to take part in as many as my time will allow.

Don't forget to pop on over to see who created the amazing winning piece!
