This week I am working with the digi - Treasure Map by Delicious Doodles available in the Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet.

I do feel a bit bad with this image, not having really done it justice.  When making this I was just about to start travelling and time was short.  Anyway, I came up with a plan to leave a pressie for my hubby - a box of chocolates hidden in our bed and the treasure map in a bottle on his pillow <g>.

 

To begin with I had a coffee hahahaha - well not true really, I made a double expresso to use as a dye to age the map which I had printed.

Then I attacked it with a Tim Holtz distressing ink pad.

 I made up a poem for my hubby which I printed and then stuck to the back of the map. I am far from a poet but it is the thought that counts :)  This was then aged the same way as the front.

 Now for some more fun, scrunch it up and make it look really old.

 Finally off to the kitchen to set fire to it over the kitchen sink - I rather enjoyed this bit hahahahaha

 To finish off I put the scrunched up map in a jar, added a label and some raffia.

Now unfortunately I have a confession to make, for the life of me I can find the box of chocolates I bought to go with this map.  I have a sneaky feeling hubby has discovered my hiding place in his sleep and devoured them without his conscious mind in action.  However, as I mentioned above, it is the thought that counts!!!!!!
