vintage trailer

i have had so much fun in the last couple of weeks, making these vinatge trailers.  I have been inspired by the original that came from Fabienne HERE
There was another one that was also made and posted on pinterest, and here is her blog link too:  Tara also has a cutting file that you can use if you have an electronic machine, which i dont have.  For me it was a wing and a prayer, so each of the three trailers that i made are different in size and decor.
WARNING!!! TOO MANY PICTURES........
Unfortunately in order for you to see the full thing i have to show you all these pics.  I just loved over embellishing these and had ssssooooo much fun...

 unfortunately my photos mixed themselves up when i loaded this and this was actually my second attempt, which i decided to add Magnolia images to
 that key lock on the door was a Mellissa Francis embellishment that i found in my stash, sure it was given to me by a friend.
 the door knob is a bead pin with a cap behind it, stuck to the door with hot glue
 the lantern was made using a Marianne die that i cut four times and then added the pearls, the candle inside was made using rolled up paper and a bit of string for a wick and then some puff paint to make it look as if it had melted a bit

 a side view
 a top view
 a back view
 the cornice and bird cage were also dies from Marianne that i just made 3d, the twig that the bird is perched on is a Memory box

 All the little windows got ribbon for curtains
 of course the fence around the front is a Magnolia doohickey
 another top view
 this was the first attempt and i wanted to add the hinges and door handle from my stash to give it an old world feel

 the back of this one i made so it could open and one could put a gift inside


 this was the third attempt and is going to a very special friend of mine, gotta figure out what i am gonna fill it with
 made the welcome mat with some old jute that i had laying around the craft room

 another bird cage

 and with #2 and #3 i opened the bottom so i could fill them with goodies
  added the turnmount and ribbon tab for ease of opening and closing.
I do hope you enjoy this little share as much as i have enjoyed making them
