Ali here,
Two weeks ago i went out for a birthday meal to The Hellfire Club in Manchester, which is an amazing place,based on a horror theme,it has a magician/entertainer to make the evening even more fun!
He spent ages with us doing magic tricks,including a bent two pence piece,a folded card in a locked box,and making a card that I'd signed appear in a full bottle of juice!
We were given the ''props'' to take home,but how do you 'scrap' something so big?
and then,yesterday,in the supermarket i bought a wooden crate of satsumas that gave me an idea.
I lined the crate with a piece of patterned paper and collaged a few stickers,tickets and a tag into the box
and added a lace frill,and placed in my momentoes and viola!
That left a gap in the box frame though,and i had loads of photos too,so i raided my stash for one of my stashed 7 Gypsies books ,and decorated the cover to match the box-this i will fill with the photos and the story of our night out.
Thanks for looking.
What a lovely way to remember a fabulous evening. x

I had heard of this venue when I lived way south of where I do now, so many people said they had a blast, wish I'd gone when I could have. Wonderful evocative crate of memories.
